How Things Have Changed!

It wasn't all that long ago that the more advanced areas of Second Life looked pretty much like the photo above, taken in 2006.

In-world innovations like sculpted prims and mesh, Windlight, and shadows have made this new look possible, but it would be an empty world without the work of content creators, who have been amazing.

Sigh.
