As someone who used templates to make clothing thats an important feature.ĭolphin has a very similar interface to the LL viewer. One nice thing about phoenix is some functions it offers - such as hiding my groups from people - are not available on the LL viewer to my knowlledge.įirestorm isnt much better.Has a very similar interface, but one thing I did notice is that you can save image files as Targa or PNG on firestorm-and you can't on most other viewers including phoenix and the LL one. Many times I get noticed and like to save them for a while, in phoenix not really an option. I didnt like the camera view icons (couldnt move them around on the screen if I wanted) and some boxes were a pain to close (just x out of) on phoenix. I couldnt even find my favorites, had to search through all LMs. A lot of the things I could easily do on the older viewer-such as add places to my favorites and LMs-could still be done, but not as easily as on the LL viewer. I tried Phoenix and firestorm and a few others, so here is my two cents.Īlways hated phoenix. I never had problems with it crashing on my computer. I started with the LL viewer, got comfortible with it, and always liked the basic layout. I think somethings are a matter of taste. It supports mesh and should support various other new developments from Linden Lab just about as soon as the Linden Lab viewers do.
PHOENIX VIEWER SHARE CODE
Since its based on the latest Linden Lab code it's much easier for the Phoenix/Firestorm developers to keep current.
Because of its older technology which is limited in some ways the developers would prefer that users whose hardware supports Firestorm use Firestorm instead.įirestorm is based on the Linden Lab V3 viewers with various interface tweaks to make it look and behave closer to Phoenix and the Linden Lab viewers. It has support for mesh in its latest versions. It's older technology that works better on older computers but the support for that technology is gradually being phased out by Linden Lab.
PHOENIX VIEWER SHARE SERIES
Phoenix is built on the foundation of Linden Lab V1 series viewers and the old Emerald viewer.
The director of Phoenix/Firestorm has said in so many words that they don't have the technical knowlege to make major changes to rendering code or other major internal viewer structures, but they can modify the interface and add some features.
Like all third-party viewers they are largely based on Linden Lab code. Phoenix and Firestorm are both made by the same developers.
