Rusalka Writer Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 On a year-old MacBook Pro with an NVIDIA 330M! I had thought it would be forever impossible. This is terrific. The new viewer is also amazingly faster, an improvement I first noticed with the Search release candidate. I am so pleased. Congratulations and thanks to the viewer team and search team and anybody who had a hand in this.I have noticed only one odd thing— in two of my four shops (in Glashtan and neighboring Lharg) textures that likely only exist in my inventory wouldn't fully load until I selected the object. It only took a few minutes to fix, but there's a small issue. It did not repeat in my shops elsewhere.Mahalo,Rusalka Writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zante Zapedzki Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Downloaded the latest viewer and with my i7 laptop, sporting a 1GB Radeon HD 5730 it doesn't show any shadows at all. In fact the options are blanked out and, despite being checked, nothing shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alazarin Mondrian Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 You have to enable 'Hardware Skinning' first. Then you'll be able to tick the 'Lighting and Shadows' box. But beware: your framerate will drop by 50% and you'll need to re-enable antialiasing. YMMV, I got stuck with horrid jaggies with one graphics card but on another it was OK. Eventually I had to disable 'Lighting and Shadows' as sub-10fps framerates were no fun at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Starsider Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 On the same Mac as you, I've had shadows in the mesh viewer for a while, but in the production version, this is a first! They have even managed to get Macs with AMD cards display shadows, but I'm not sure this in the production version or the latest beta of the viewer. But they, apparently, broke shadows on windows pcs with AMD cards... - Luc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
