Facelights are teh debil now...Unless I am using them in an actual photography shoot as added backlighting or floodlighting... but then again I can just mess with the Windlight settings to do that now.
This is coming from someone who refused to take hers off until the WL viewer was made the default. Now I just up the ambient lighting to get rid of pesky shadows.
*if someone is using a previous viewer, I do NOT hold it against them*
Facelights are a pet hate of mine *when* worn at art gallerys, sculptures and performances etc and so this is a most welcome feature.
No longer will galleries have to "police" this, sending IM's asking for them to be removed but instead just simply advise the audience of this feature and leave it up to individual preference.
People who want to see the work as it was intended to be seen can, without interference; those who do not care...well, they no longer matter.
At begining I didn't like face light but when you take some pics in night is usefull. For sure I don't like many face light 3 are enought or one with good light radius
The bummer i think, is on both sides of the fence. 6 total lights in a scene and the fact that facial geometry is so bad when shadow's cast on it, no matter how good the face, it'll look very close to an ape. Some use face lights, some just refuse to be human. It only takes one light to hide shoddy shadow rendering, but people go to far thinking they need more then one. But using them 'responsibly' in that way means little with a lot of avatars with them in one area. Tobad on both sides i guess.
Thank you so much for pointing this valuable feature out. It is very frustrating when in a nice twilight setting to see various people wandering around in their own pool of light - not only spoils the mood for others but having to render those things must add to the lag.
Ideally the people need to just stop wearing them but in the meantime these client side settings will be wonderful.
that is the funniest set of face lights I've ever seen

A good setting is Intensity 1.000, Radius 0.400 and Fall out 0.000 Really the Radius dosesn't have to be any brighter then 1.000
Why people need to walk around like a xmas tree I don't know. And alot of what I've seen... the light ain't helpin'
