Here's a fun and informative Black Dragon tutorial video from SL YouTube star (and occasional New World Notes videographer) Cassie Middles. Undaunted by an occasional barking dog down the hall, Cassie shows you how to use the third party viewer with a cult following among SL artists to take screenshots.
Black Dragon is significantly different from Firestorm, the most popular SL viewer, but Cassie tells me she likes both for different reasons:
"Both have lovely features and I appreciate them both for how many options I have to work with," as she puts it. "Even the moving [avatar] thing, someone told me how to fix that, so I can move my avatar freely. Black Dragon definitely lets you tweak the settings more, though, to make things look lifelike. And once I got a handle on it, I loved playing with it." (Watch Part 2 above.)
Her tip for SLers trying Black Dragon for the first time: "Like I say in the video, it's trial and error. Mess around with the sliders to see what things do. There's a default button next to it that will reset those settings if you feel like you went too far with messing with them."
And don't forget to subscribe to Cassie on YouTube!
Why do you keep pushing this piece of crap that nobody uses? You can take great pictures with any viewer. Without having to take a whole course. Is he paying you or something?

This is a pretty aggro response to a fairly helpful video. Yikes.

Haha, Well then. I do tutorial videos and have for all three viewers now. These two were my second and third time ever using black dragon. He also posted this after seeing me publish the videos. Would you prefer me to try in lumiya to offset this viewer having two videos on my channel? I'd also love it if you checked out my channel where I took photos in firestorm about 65 times.
Also, thank you blaise you wonderful commenter, you.

Honestly cassie I'd love to see someone attempt to take pictures on lumiya that look decent. Can it even be done? Lol it's a good viewer but not for pics. I'd just ignore bittergirl...I mean tankgirl.

@Tankgirl
How about you show us something you've been building the past 7 years alone and we spit on it.
Also if i paid Hamlet for covering my Viewer, why haven't i paid you to shut up yet?
