Guys, the whole thing with the easily accessible slider for draw distance is really great! Inspiring, actually. It's almost enough to make me wanna try out the v2 viewer again. i hope the feature gets back-ported to Snowglobe v1 by someone better at that stuff than me.
The binocs idea for the icon is the best! It's totally like the average person is going to think about it. And it's the way our eyes work. Maybe spend time coming up with the best binocs icon or icon loc so it doesn't get confused with what everybody sees for "search" everywhere, but i can't think of anything better unless it was a magnifying glass (also over-used), eyeglasses, or a telescope. Maybe somebody wants to look at a collection on the web of what camera mfrs put on their focus buttons? (Maybe just the word "ZOOM" instead of an image?) And, being able to pull it down as far as possible is a good thing. Sometimes in tight spaces with lots of avis anything else is just a waste. Or distraction. Or both. And however far out it can go, even for short periods or whatever would be awesome! There's the maps and then there's actually being able to *see* what's up. But one thing i don't think i've seen in the discussion, wouldn't it be a good idea to have an auto-reset take place on every tp? Have it go to some standard value that works pretty good most places, and it'll save forgetful or excited people problems. i mean, if the control is right there and easy to adjust, why not make it more useful than just improved eyesight? Thx again! You guys are great! - AK In case you missed the message from Oz in a different thread here is the review viewer for the proposed draw distance slider: http://automated-builds-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/hg/repooz_project-3/rev/232119/index.html There is a temporary binocular graphic next to volume slider where you access the control from. There is discussion within LL if this will be taken in. The concerns are for new residents 1) having too many options on the screen and 2) performance or experience issues if the slider is moved too far in either direction.
