What the bloody hell is this? And why is it taking up useful space on my Ponibooru?

What did you do in order to make SL look so much better than normal? Is this from one of the third-party clients?

Actually, I seldom use third-party clients and I usually stick to the official viewver. Phoenix can have a great perfomance, but it is very tricky and it highest graphical detail can't never compaer to Viewver 2.0

Now, what exactly I do to make SL looks much better? Of course, first, ultra settings, max antialiasing and (if necessary) a bit more than 256 of drawing distance.

After that, I play with the sky and water advanced settings . They completely change the "ambient" of a situation and there are around internet a lot of awesome predesigned sky and water settings (although you will want like me to make your own sky settings).

Then, I activate Advance menu and Develop menu. In develop menu, I encourage to disable "Object to Object Occlusion" (you gain fps in slow computers when activated, but it has less performance in gamers computers when activated).

Last, go to develop>Rendering and activate Framebuffer Objects and match all the new options that will be able to select (Light and Shadows, Global Lighting, Shadows from Sun/Moon/proyectors and SSAO and Smooth Shadows).

With that, you will able to see basically SL in this way. It needs a lot of graphical resources and a great bandwidth and some computer won't be able to handle this smoothy, but you can always use this to have great pics. I have 6 Gb ram and a 1 Gb Vram and I run this with more or less 30-40 fps.

Of course, these are the basic instructions. In order to go a bit deeper and play with aspects like how the light falls on the objects and the superposition of proyectable shadows; you will have to use the viewver console and play with differents commands of the game.

If you want even MORE, there is actually a third party viewver which those commands are more visible and you don't need to play with the game console. However, the most important fact of that viewver is the possibility of play SL in 3D (like Avatar film XD)
