Thanks Marianna! Playing with the glass/diamond look is fun :-) I used my basic silver pbr texture with high reflectivity and some transparency to achieve the effect on a statue.

Hi Spark :-) PBR is rewarding but will take you a little time experiment with to get comfortable with it.

Note: As Marianna mentioned below, your grid will need to have already been updated to version 0.9.3 or to the comparable Dreamgrid version before PBR will be available for you to use there.

Here are some links to get you started that were helpful to me.
My work with PBR started like many with trying to make a mirror. That taught me the basics of what to look for when editing materials in the the viewer. This is the video that got me started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o&list=PLIyBt3CA...

This link will cover the basics about PBR in Second Life, and by extension Opensim. Use it as a reference as you go along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvTukP_A91o&list=PLIyBt3CA...

Here is a great place to get free materials and assets you can upload into Opensim: https://www.blenderkit.com/

And finally you will need a program to pack the pbr textures into a file that Opensim will be able to upload. I use this free program that's very easy to use just on your pc: https://aiaicapta.in/gltf-packer/

And of course you can always message me here for more info. I'm usually here in the evenings or during the day during my work week.

@Jerralyn Franzic Here's the same shot with a pbr viewer, high graphics, and full draw distance. https://gyazo.com/7a11ddf4eb8c10c631f2458a73f409a6

Yes, those are the original textures which I left intact for people still using non-pbr viewers

That Egyptian ship actually flies

My next stage of transformation :-)

One of the many reasons my home is here

Nice work :-)

Mirrors are fun and you don't need ultra graphics to see them

Love this grid

Lovely lighting effect

Love these morning shows

All of my Opensim content has had materials for years and I advertise it regularly. Now that I'm transitioning to PBR, I'm keeping all those original blinn-phong textures intact for those who are unable to upgrade to the PBR viewer and those whose grids or graphics are unable to support it.

For the first time my Wolf territories avatar was not able to get in. A shame since this is one of my favorite places on the hypergrid

Got my Wolf Winter Fest booth ready, plus I added a large build surprise that will be used as a stage

HDRI skies are not yet fully functional in Opensim. You can upload and apply them for yourself but no one else will be able to see them. Sorta like a local texture. In the meantime, here's a great source for these: https://hdri-skies.com/. Here also: https://polyhaven.com/hdris/skies

Started my Winterfest display also :-)

I'll probably need you to explain to me just what that is :-)

I love playing with pbr. I've started switching a lot of my items over also.

Really sorry to miss this event :-( We will be out of town

Nice work :-)
