Updated the contents of the google drive documentation with more relevant resources.
You will need a Physically based rendering compatible SL client and be on a Simulator running the matching update to utilize the materials provided in this kit.
We recommend you rez these items in an area with at least 350 prims of free land impact as some of the demo objects are a bit costly due to using prims, this will be addressed at a later time with better meshes.
If you have any meshes and materials you'd like to submit for inclusion in this kit, feel free to reach out to Cynos3D or OdessaWilde.

This kit is intended to be shared openly and freely with everyone to facilitate the learning curve that comes with SL's new Physically Based Rendering material system. As such all the contents are full-perm and shareable, it contains the following items.
➤ A fully functional demonstration reflection probe box with a test environment box around it to cast high quality, contrasted reflections on your PBR creations to test them at their best in a controlled environment.
➤ Inside the reflection probe demo box are a few interesting materials on demo spheres for you to check out.
➤ A sample of extra materials in a more land impact friendly package for you to rez inside the reflection probe box to see how these would look.
➤ A bunch of free, full permission basic materials from samples uploaded by LL and yours truly for you to get started tinkering with PBR materials.
➤ A notecard with an external resource google drive folder that will be updated over time.
More items and information will be added over time and will be made freely available to all, just re-deliver the package to get an updated version of the objects.
