As I mentioned in my first SL Go Firestorm video, one of my favorite things about Firestorm is just how many bells and whistles it has, all easily surfaced for the user. For that matter being able to swap between the viewers through SL Go depending on what I need (and without having to juggle multiple installs and updates) has been a lot handier than expected. While the vanilla Second Life viewer allows you to play with your Windlight settings as much as you like, Firestorm comes pre-loaded with hundreds of interesting presets--from the practical to the unbelievable--made and shared by fellow residents.
There are so many interesting presets in Firestorm that going through them to talk about each one would take hours. Instead, I've cut together a five minute long video so you can see what they each have to offer, or maybe even stumble onto something that sparks your imagination. Firestorm and SL Go are an ideal combination for virtual photographers because, while Firestorm gives you have access to loads of user-made lighting and water presets, SL Go lets you crank up your graphics settings well beyond what your own computer (or tablet) may be able to handle.
