3.0.9 WIP7 and 8

I wanted to give a quick update to the beta testers on the most recent release

WIP7 fixed a problem with the pose filter /43 work in that missed a script change on owner change and wasn't listening to any /43 chatter except me. Thanks Kym!

WIP8 fixes attached projector dialog brought up by clicking from the hud. It only brings up dialog now for the correct projector(s).

WIP8 adds an idle projector killer that kills projectors that have had no interaction in 4 days. Its easy to leave them hidden, finish a shoot, and forget they are there. It sends an IM to the owner letting them know.

So question, any thoughts on how and if in need to make a light never timeout?

animation filters

So i wanted to run this by you guys for feedback. the 3.0.9 BETA WIP6 and beyond includes a way to filter animation selections by local chat.

just type /43 where the string is part of the name of the animations you want to see

so for example /43Cout would only show the 6 Couture poses.

typing /43all or reseting the filters from the options menu resets the filter.

check it out and give me your feedback

wearable projectors for machinima

ok guys i have a 3.0.9 WIP1 which is in beta. This is a first try at supporting the machinimaists as well as allow projectors in no rez sims. Its really a good solution!

This has had very very little testing, but before i clean it up i wanted feedback.

Menus are likley really rough, especially if you have have both rezzed and wearable projectors
the presets are going to support the wearable projector but is not there yet
the backup server doesn't support it yet (never did actually)
Also this beta does not auto update. I'll get that going next time.

This is being sent to Toran/Colleen/Rysan and thats it for now. Next beta will be broader distribution.

Lots to do, but i wanted to see if this is heading in the right direction.

Another L3 Projector Shakedown Shoot

getting better. This was done with 2 projectors on a white wall along with lumipro balls projecting on each of them. That makes this an 8 light shoot. :))

And no i didn't spent more than 2 minutes dealing with the stupid black line. :)

Results from Beta and Beta2

Thanks to my beta testers for feedback. I've probably thrown 15 different ideas into the recycle bin getting to the point that I am today. I'm about 80% happy with the projector and is light years ahead of what i put to beta1 two weeks ago. Over the next couple days i'll get this new beta out for feedback. Our thoughts are to roll a first revision of projectors into L3 hopefully by end of January and then we'll roll the rest out as part of L4 and a separate lighting products.

I always want to remind people that what LUMIPro's goal is to shoot in ways that are quite a bit more productive than just manually rezzing lighting prim or just using windlight. My hope is the productivity and capability that LUMIPro offers offers you twice as many shoots a month and thus twice the fun and twice the revenue. :)

Please leave me your comments! I'll try to incorporate the changes.
