Beta Downloads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>About EEP<\/h2>\n<p>As many of you know, Linden Lab\u2019s Environmental Enhancement Project has been in the works for a long time and reached the grid in 2019. While the official SL viewer has had EEP for a few months, Firestorm has been working to eliminate bugs in our own implementation and streamline\/improve the interface.\u00a0While we don\u2019t feel that EEP is ready for full release\u2014in fact, it has not passed our QA yet\u2014Linden Lab wants all SL users to have access to it, and many of you have been clamoring to use it.<\/p>\n<p>EEP is a new environmental lighting system, a change from the previous Windlight system. Sky, Water, and Day Cycle settings are now saved as inventory items (assets), and can be created, copied, transferred, or sold the same as other inventory assets.\u00a0 EEP settings can be applied to the land by parcel or region owners, or to yourself as personal settings visible only to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<p>With EEP, \u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can use your own sun, moon, and cloud textures.<\/li>\n<li>You can customize the length of the day (yes\u2014you can now have 24-hour day cycles!).<\/li>\n<li>You can set different skies at various levels on your land.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Visitors to your parcel will be able to see all your customized settings.<\/li>\n<li>You can import your old Windlights as EEP settings (many have already been imported).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Note: Windlight still works in viewers 6.3.9 and older, with a few bugs due to server changes.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>For additional information:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Please read SL\u2019s post<a href=\"https:\/\/community.secondlife.com\/blogs\/entry\/4199-eep-is-out-introducing-the-environmental-enhancement-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\"> EEP Is Out!
