Did u try uploading a tga instead of a jpg? I was told SL converts all files including jpg to jpg2000 and to go ahead and just upload tgas which will give more details. You may wanna try it and see IF there is indeed a difference.

Now…if there was a way to have qtvr supported in SL! 🙂

The textures are 1024×1024 .jpg which is the largest size SL currently supports..

Great work!

What size is the actual in-world tga texture on the spheres ? 1024 pixels or bigger?

The look people give you when you say your using SL for research is sometimes harsh..

Even at a conference at Oxford last month the work was frowned upon so its a breath of fresh air to have Nature using it and offering us land.

A new movie is about to go online, and no dancing 🙂

The gag reflex is very VERY violently invoked by the Second Life Dance. Please NEVER post any videos where the avatars are dancing.

Your entire professional reputation rests on this!
