Optimising Slang Life for WindLight

Last week we managed to fully optimise the SlangLife island for the new viewer introduced for testing purposes by the Second Life creators - Linden Lab. The viewer is called WindLight, and most probably it will soon replace the old client version.
WindLight offers many new features. It allows users to set their own values of ambient lighting as well as sky and water features. It enourages the users to create their own "mindscapes", to add the personal touch to the feel of the places they visit.
Among the few disadvantages, that would probably be soon removed, are the unperfect display of alpha channels and shiny textures. We mainly focused on those aspects while optimising the islands content.


We suggest that everyone judges for himself, wheather we succeed in this one. Following are the pictures taken within the premises of the optimised SlangLife island. To see the overall effect we suggest to visit the SlangLife island on your own, with the use of the new WindLight :)
