FATEwear Trunks - Thorpe - Ocean

In this pack you will find two additional versions of the trunks labelled 'sheen' and 'wet' (pictured above)... These were created with an upcoming version of Second Life in mind that has not yet been released (as of May 2013).

The new Second Life feature is called the materials shader, this will allow the use of bump (normal maps) and shine (specular maps) on objects + attachments in SL.

The normal and specular maps add a lot of depth and life to objects that you can see for yourself in this example video I put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjD5cHZ5cGA&feature=youtu.be please read the description on the video for more technical information on what you're seeing.

In short, the materials-ready 'sheen' and 'wet' versions of the trunks will look more realistic and give the impression of higher polygonal detail.

You can check out the project materials viewer right now for yourself at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers (subject to change if the viewer has officially launched since)
