Since Kirstens Viewer is no longer available, you guys have been contacting me asking which viewer I’m now using. Therefore I thought I would do a video tutorial of my recent favorite viewer, Exodus Viewer. I’ve been using Exodus consistently since November 10th when I did this plurk about it. I had downloaded it but had some issues getting shadows to run. I found out I wasn’t the only one having this issue. If you read that plurk you’ll see that you just need to disable anti-aliasing and shadows will pop up for you. I’ve gone into a bit more detail about this in the video if you need to see what I mean I am embedding and linking the video below.
One thing I really love about Exodus Viewer is that I can take the biggest snapshot I like (usually 5760×3084) and I will not get any kinds of glitches or weird lines on my image. I have put up a pure raw shot on my flickr here which I’ll also embed a small version of below. As you can see, the image is completely clean and that’s how ALL of my images look whenever I use Exodus Viewer.
Another thing I love about Exodus Viewer is that it actually lets me take pictures without ever crashing using my avatar that is up to about 120K inventory now (I know, I’m bad, shush :P wanna organize it for me? :D)

I recently purchased a new video card a few months back so I have updated my computer specifications page with that info. You can take a look to see what kind of computer I have. After getting the new 560ti video card, my crash rate went down significantly. And then after discovering Exodus and using it religiously, I rarely crash, if ever, and usually because I am doing a whole bunch of things at once (such as watching something on netflix, chatting in skype, checking plurk, and shooting massive images in SL, yeah…I know…I’m crazy :P).
The developer of Exodus is having some computer issues so the development has been a bit delayed but hopefully he’ll be back soon adding more updates and features to it. For now, the last version works fantastic for me so hopefully it will be good for you guys too.
So anyhow, I hope you guys like Exodus as much as I do. I have been really happy with it. If you do have any questions, feel free to email me and I’ll do the best I can to help you out.
In a few days Glam Affair will be releasing a new skin by the name of Linn. Linn will come in 5 skintones (Light, Natural, Tan, MedTan and Dark) I am wearing tan. Each tone will come with dark and light brows as well as a hairbase option. I love the luscious lips on this skin. Each makeup looked phenomenal with these lips, but my heart went out to these gorgeous red lips. Keep an eye on the Glam Affair flickr to know when its released. You can check out a raw shot of myself wearing this skin that I shared in a plurk earlier today to get an idea of how the skin really looks without all my photoshopping.
I’ve been meaning to mention my new favorite eyes in a post for a while now. Before I left for vacation I had asked plurk about some eyes I had seen and desperately wanted. Surprisingly the talented gentleman that created those eyes is also on plurk. Fashism eyes by Ikon Innovia have become my new favorite eyes now and I have been wearing them over a month. I did a few pics in them already that can be found on my flickr. There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from but I especially love these deep warm sunrise that I’m also wearing here.
So if you are a hermit like me and have never been to Fashism, definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

One thing I wanted to point out before I end this post. I made a big photographers mistake and did not right-click on the prim earrings to make them fully rez before snapping all these pics. The earrings you see me wearing in this post are not exactly what they look like. The originals also have some gorgeous pearls dangling from them. You can see a proper pic of them here.
