PBR Creations

ABOVE: the ¡En YO! Mainstore (in the historic J.L. Hudson Department Store Building) in Detroit City!
It’s organized exactly like this Website to make things easy to find!

On this page, you can see all of my current creations in the new PBR Materials! Each photo links to the page where you’ll find the item.
Below the photos you’ll find info and links about my PBR experiments and creations. PBR is Physically-Based Rendering — that probably means as much to you as it does to me, but it’s the new (to SL) way of applying textures to objects that makes them far more realistic, especially when it comes to how they reflect light and cast shadows. And now we even have bright, clear, working mirrors in SL–you’ll see those in a lot of my newer photos and videos!

The most popular SL viewers are PBR capable, but many SL Residents have stayed with their old ones until LL improves viewer performance on older computers. And sometimes legacy texture clothes (the technical term is Blinn-Phong) look better in a location than PBR; for example, Midnight lighting can make your clothes turn almost black! So anything I make in PBR will also have a good-looking “fallback texture” for those non-PBR viewers, and any brand new item will be sold with both PBR and Blinn-Phong versions. I’ll do this for as long as it makes sense (maybe forever).

Here are the items in my shops and MP now! Click each one to see it here at EnyoShop.com:

(I’ll bet you’ve figured out by now: if something ends in -X it is for LaraX; in -P it is in PBR Materials, and -XP it’s both!)

EXPERIMENTS AND INFO:

This photo shows a couple of important things. First is obvious: PBR changes drastically when the light changes! It is affected mostly by the SKY, even if you’re in a building with a roof.

The other thing is–I got back the 3D details (like the stitching around the bust)! But the special coloring I did on the original Montana dress is gone. See the difference below:

Here’s the dress–normal viewer at left; PBR viewer on the right.

In this image I try to tie it all together! Here are the 6 colors of my new Annye-P suit, seen in the four standard SL times of day. I’m on the roof of my houseboat, open to the sky, with no other lights around. (You can see a higher-resolution PNG version on my Flickr.)

On February 28, 2024, I placed my first PBR dress in the shops and Marketplace! Jalisco-XP is only for Maitreya LaraX and available in 8 colors for L$99.

I hope you’ll come along with me on this adventure! This page is not about creating the original materials, but it IS about how SL texturing creators can use them and (Very Important) about how YOU will wear and use things made from them! This is about what to expect, and (sometimes) how to adjust your environment to make your outfit look the way you want. (See my Reflection Probes video!)

The best place to go and see everything is my Flickr PBR Album! I have some videos on my YouTube Channel too, but Flickr has the photo montages and more explanation, (and because I pay for PRO, they don’t make you watch an ad first!).
