Selling PBR assets

[Gusher Castaignede]

Frankly, my PBR items would slightly be priced higher than non pbr...

I tried PBR in another grid that has opensim-rel-0.9.3.9032 (this version has a lot of bug fixes and is working great). I liked the way PBR looked for the few items I saw but I have to say it slowed me down and I almost never have lag. I had to turn my draw distance down, I usually have it at 1024. Admittedly I was in a region with a lot of stuff and scripts running. I like the idea of PBR and the way it looks but I wonder if many computers will be able to handle it in regions with a lot of items and scripts. It's still really worth getting but I'd expect at least 1/2, if not more, users won't have it enabled.

When I create items now, I add both the newer pbr textures and the older blinn phong textures and materials we're used to. That way it will not matter what viewer the buyer uses, they will see something instead of blank white. It's extra work but not as much as creating and listing a separate item. Below is an example; the pbr pic was taken with Firestorm 7.1.11 and the non-pbr pic was taken using Firestorm 6.6.17.

Well, that was fast! I have to test it now

As of now, there’s no specific timeline for supporting PBR assets on Kitely Market. It would be great if they did, though, since PBR materials are becoming the standard. Keep an eye on updates, as they tend to announce new features on their blog.

Hi Eyakhe,

We rolled out support for PBR assets in Kitely Market earlier this month.
