Hi AzurisDawnstar,
Thank you for your reporting and the added helpful screenshots. In future, please make a separate Jira report for each bug.
- Thanks for this report! We've verified there is indeed a difference and it appears to depend on the EEP setting used. Using Midday or Midday (Legacy) can give an easy repro.
- This is currently the new expected behaviour and we welcome the feedback. There is a new EEP setting that is likely causing these areas to appear darker (Reflection Probe Ambiance) that might require adjusting for the new PBR viewers.
- Glow has undergone changes but please write a new jira for this with a screenshot showing your concerns
-
and 5. We’re aware of the current HUD issues and hope to have a fix for these in a future release.
This Jira is being set to Needs More Info so you're able to reply. Please select 'Info Provided' above after a response.
What just happened?
I noticed a few things after updating to the above mentioned release:
Full Bright doesn't do its job anymore: This applies to both textures (blank texture, no bumpiness or shininess or other shenanigans) and particles ( PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK is set) alike. For example, the color white RGB = (255, 255, 255) is effectively shown as ~(210, 210, 210), see PIC01 attached.
Basically all colors inworld (HUDs not included) look more pale and de-saturated, especially during daytime environment settings. It makes some areas appear as if full bright was activated on everything even when it's not. (See PIC02). It can be compensated a bit by decreasing the 'Exposure' setting, but that can make bright places (like deserts, canyons) appear too dark (PIC03).
Glow appears to be much weaker. Can't show that unfortunately since I lack a decent screenshot of the situation before the update.
HUDs are not always shown correctly (X-level problems): HUD-elements that are supposed to be in the foreground are displayed in the background. The DFS-HUD in PIC04 is missing a number (even though it's there and usable). During part 4 of the Horizons Linden Experience the map doesn't show your own and the target position anymore (PIC05). Both stays that way when right-clicking the HUD.
HUD displaying 'foreign' textures of other attached HUDs. When changing its rotation it displays textures of yet another attached HUD. See PIC06. PIC07 shows how that HUD is supposed to look like. And I know for a fact that the creator of this HUD cannot have access to the last texture shown as I uploaded it and never shared it in anyway.
What were you doing when it happened?
Nothing worth mentioning. Other than it depending on viewer and environment setting those issues are no specific to any particular situation.
What were you expecting to happen instead?
Unless something like fog or smoke is obstructing the view, full bright should display the defined color.
Colors should retain their intensity.
Using the same vales, Glow should visually look like it did before. Though a different 'scaling' would be acceptable as well since before that release even values of 0.03 - 0.07 would usually do the trick.
HUD-elements in the background should be shown in the background.
HUDs should not 'steal' textures of other HUDs.
Other information
I have some experience scripting, but not much knowledge about texturing, alpha modes and similar technical stuff. I'm well aware that some of these issues could be caused by the objects used, my viewers settings, my system or generally sims just not being optimized for the new features yet. Some observation might be intended changes, too.
Just reporting symptoms here.
