A Particle Lights Display

Saturday, 9 December 2023 at 1:00 PM SLT (10:00 PM CET)

P L E A S E N O T E -> Display begins at 1:00 pm SLT but please arrive at least 15 minutes early for a better experience as we will be flashing textures into your viewer cache (if you are watching us). This pre-show display will help you to see the particles more immediately when Venus and Kurk throw them…

Please note also that the particle display works so much better when we are not competing with heavily scripted avatars for the sim server’s attention, and that is why we ask you to please reduce your script count and complexity by as much as your vanity will allow. But do dress for winter…

Make sure you have the following set in your Graphics Preferences (these suggestions are primarily for Firestorm users)…

-> Draw distance set from 256 meters up to 512 meters (if you can — higher settings can be laggy)
-> Graphics Quality set to High or Ultra (if you can)
-> Max. particle count set from 4096 to 8192 (if you can)
-> Render Attached Particles (checked in Rendering tab)

-> Be sure to render Venus Adored and Kurk Mumfuzz fully…

Also, set your viewer to “Use Shared Environment” (World > Environment > Use Shared Environment). If you cannot share the environmental settings, setting to Sunset will be your next best option. Our emitters have been tuned to the Midwinter1 sim EEP setting so shared will give you the best results…

P L E A S E N O T E : A warning for anyone who might be vulnerable to any kind of seizures (such as epilepsy) that we can create a lot of bright flashy visual noise and this particle display should probably be avoided. I strongly recommend that anyone who might suffer any kind of seizure should not attend this event…
