Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon Viewer 64x - Update 5.3.1 "Scaling Dragon"

 Whoopdiedoo and here we go.


Lots of fixes especially for that sky editor crash several people have been having. Looks like that was actually two different crashes in one package!

Also new options such as Voice Noise Suppression, new Tonemappers (Reinhard and Filmic are back!), Contact Adaptive Sharpening, Antialiasing Quality and a Voice Visualizer option to toggle of the voice "dot".

No idea still on the camera zoom crash but i added some logging in hopes to get a lead as to where its crashing. If you are crashing due to this please send me your log file so i can take a look, hopefully this will net some results.

  2. Any chance the Black Dragon will have poser controls similar to the ones that debuted in the new Firestorm? Like, the axis adjustment wheel? That would make the Black Dragon even more perfect

    1. I despise the windlight axis widgets and refused to implement them ever since they debuted in EEP, i fail to see how they fix any of the control issues i'd like o fix let alone improve them, i tried figuring out a way to to make them good but the way they control just doesn't allow for it so i ultimately gave up on them... that is until FS added them. I was planning to do a complete UI overhaul at the end when the Poser is actually done and going to LL but since LL is a piece of shit, making demands for something they have no rights to make demands for that cause more issues to fix and compromise the vision and functionality of the project i chose to forgo LL and wait for the Puppeteer project which would have allowed syncing bones without relying on LL's word or help. But LL in their infinite wisdom delayed that and FS in their infinite wisdom took my Poser and with it any will to continue on it, i know FS is going to fuck it up, like they always do, they always did and always will, i tried fighting them but i just don't have any will left to put up with LL and FS and their stupid shit. So the UI overhaul is cancelled and any major refactors for the Poser are on hold. That is ontop of the dangerously low Patreon amount which is slowly driving me away from SL to work on more important things to keep financially alive. I'm not going to sugar coat it, its looking very grim.

    2. Oh, too bad. That's really bad of them. I only asked because I saw the new feature and I particularly liked it. On the other hand, I think FS slider system is very awful, and Poser panel is very confusing. FS graphics are nowhere near as good as Black Dragon's, and for these and other reasons I never considered abandoning BD and figured that such an implementation for BD would be good. Thanks for answer

  3. The FS poser is horrid. I can't even fathom how they came up with something that in the new beta takes away all slider control for movement and forces you to use that ball thing that moves multiple axes and effs up the other parts of the pose you wanted to keep. Clearly no one there does any real photography. It's just a clown show.

  5. The problem with the sky configuration button still persists, it bugs and kicks you out of the game. I also tried the shortcut and the same thing keeps happening.
