\"This
\nThis snapshot was enhanced using the Environment Editor<\/div>\n

Last week I posted three articles about making better Second Life snapshots. This snapshot is an example of what can be done using those techniques. It was taken in Glendalough sim behind Lilly’s Pub, and was enhanced by using the techniques I described in those three articles. Among other things, I placed the moon at exactly the position where I wanted it, which required setting not only the moon position, but its azimuth (East Angle) as well.<\/p>\n

\"This
\nThis snapshot is how the scene looks without using the Environment Editor<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This picture is a snapshot of the same scene as I found it, without using the Environment Editor to alter anything. The scene makes a quite nice snapshot, though not without the atmosphere of the first shot.<\/p>\n

\"This
\nThis is the same scene at night without using the Environment Editor<\/div>\n

This picture is as a snapshot taken at night, without adjusting any of the Environment Editor settings. The reflections in the water are nice, but the foreground trees and the avatar are too dark, and of course there is no moon..<\/p>\n

By taking the time to adjust the various Environment Editor settings, however, it’s possible to make an outstanding snapshot out of what would have been merely a pleasant snapshot.<\/p>\n

If you want to make better Second Life snapshots, I suggest you bookmark those three articles I posted here last week and refer back to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
