We\u2019ve been working hard on some major changes to Second Life\u2019s Viewer and back-end infrastructure to improve the Second Life experience for all users. Today, we\u2019re pleased to share an update on Project Shining <\/a>– an initiative that will make avatars load and rez more quickly and reliably.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve tested changing of outfits, avatar swapping, and initial avatar loading into worlds, and our tests showed performance gains across the board. Bottom line, Second Life users will experience less time in \u201cclouded\u201d or untextured avatar states and\/or completely failed bakes that require relogs. Check out this video<\/a> for more about the project.<\/p>\n

Project Sunshine is rolling out in three steps:<\/p>\n

1) A required Viewer update, out now<\/a>! The official Second Life Viewer (version 3.5.1 and later) includes important updates you\u2019ll need to enjoy the benefits of Project Sunshine, so update today if you haven\u2019t yet. \u00a0Actively updated Third Party Viewers also already have Sunshine-enabled versions available.<\/p>\n

2) A server-side update, rolling out soon. It\u2019s at this point that you\u2019ll begin to notice significant improvements in avatar and object load times and reliability. But if you haven\u2019t updated your Viewer, avatars won\u2019t look right to you when we roll out the server update, so seriously, update now!<\/p>\n

3) A second Viewer update, released after the server-side improvements are rolled out. As long as you have the Viewer 3.5.1 or later (available now<\/a>), avatars won\u2019t look wrong for you, but this second Viewer update will be needed to get the full benefits of Project Sunshine.<\/p>\n

Get on your way to a better, faster, and more reliable Second Life experience and update to the latest Viewer today<\/a>!<\/p>\n
