In SL I don't have shadows or high quality turned on (it pushes my CPU temp up too high), or use a PBR viewer. But using Zero, I can now experience SL with shadows etc, and find that it really does improve my experience of SL. It feels much more immersive, and the graphics look fantastic. I think it's a game changer for SL, I would love to be able to use this when it's eventually finally completed and released.
But I'm not sure it will be enough for me to switch to using most of the time though for the following reasons:
  • partly it will depend on pricing (adding it to Premium would be a great bonus, or at a least offering it at much lower price than say Premium is)
  • a key feature I can't live without in SL is 'derender'
  • other minor useful in-built features in my TPV like teleport history that I use frequently are missing (maybe I can learn to live without those...)
If it's priced reasonably, perhaps it will be a case of using the browser viewer for some tasks and a TPV for others. I'd rather just stick to one viewer though.
