windlight test: secondlife first looks viewer

youtube film clip
blip.tv (much better res)

Some quick test on the first look viewer just out. Has LOTS of controls and setting sliders, including motion for clouds. Is whole new way to set what your view of SL is.

Not sure what plan is to allow content creators a way to manager user experience. Seems like a critical point otherwise people will either miss out on functionality or no one will be seeing same thing when they visit an area.

FYI, viewer is unstable enuff and seems to cut draw distance to 50-100m. I didn't find anywhere to set draw distance, but guess it is limited as the whole thing is slow as it is.
