Remember that public swimming pool, which demonstrated the power of PBR? Little did I know back then that it'd be featured in this whole hilarious parody commercial by Beetle Wilder. Watch above! I'd love to see more spots like this advertising SL content.
Speaking of which, the pool itself is from Bhad Craven's brad Bad Unicorn (disclosure: a past and future NWN sponsor) available in the mainstore.
Last month Bhad shared some tips on creating in PBR:
"It's fairly difficult to create a large scene like this, especially since a lot of the parts have to be baked individually still. It's a learning curve but still a huge update from what we previously had." He recommends learning how to use EEPs and reflection probes to maximize the use of PBR. "There's a blue halo around reflective objects which aren't inside an EEP. Getting the sweet-spot of making sure my textures are the right level of reflective, seems to be my biggest challenge so far."
More here. As for the parody commercial, I should ask Beetle for tips making one of those. I especially love the gap-mouthed gestures starting at :15.
