Talk:PBR Materials

"When is it Recommended to Create a Reflection Probe?" is missing the image referred to in the section

removed "The viewer will then pop up a message warning you that this will change the prim to be invisible and phantom, and will change shape. Click Okay." since the currently loaded viewer 7.0.1.6 does not have this warning

Ah, the subtleties of language...

It is worth mentioning that during the adoption period of a new system, a substantial portion of Second Life Residents view the world through third party viewers and mobile viewer solutions that will not have updated to be able to see the new content.

          (emphasis mine)

Well, the sheer truth is that this 'substantial' portion is actually the majority of active users, since all of them use Firestorm, and at the date this paragraph was written, Firestorm had no intention to upgrade their viewer to use the SL 7 renderer before March 2024, and that's iff Linden Lab fixes a series of outstanding, reported bugs which the Firestorm team consider absolute show-stoppers. If not, Firestorm will continue to push a "7" release further and further in the future until eventually LL fixes whatever requires to be fixing (according to Firestorm's developers, that is).

But since it is expectable that Firestorm will eventually upgrade to the "7" viewer, I'm not going to change the phrase "a substantial portion" to "the vast majority" 😄
