Heheh... In light of Linden Lab's recent hard-line take on copyrights, Am I the only one who finds the use of a copyrighted comic and movie character in this demo a bit ironic?

Please don't let this fall into the abyss with things like the Av Puppeteer. This will be amazing and even make the crappiest of builds look...not as crappy.

I can't wait until they release the new lighting and shadow system. Although I am a bit sad too, I actually enjoyed hand-painting shadows and highlights onto my buildings. I was just starting to get good at it.

too bad that for GI you still need a nice GPU with shader model 4 capabilities :/, but the effect its really awesome, there arent too mcuh game that use that with this high quality.

Yes you're right, I was reading up about that - and frankly I am genuinely surprised that LL is actually doing something right for once - in all honesty I expected them to fuck everything up, given their past performances - I'm not holding my breath lol

@CokeSupply More dependant on what collision mesh is given them by the creator.
