Re-lighter - real hardware club lighting system


Re-lighter is a club lighting system designed for commercial and personal use. Commercial as, it's perfect for clubs or activities in general that benefit from a great visual impact on the people participating in it, and personal in case you're organizing parties or just want to impress your friends with some great lights game.
The device will rez real hardware lights that will cast a user defined color, moving through a user defined path, and providing the feeling of a _real_ club lighting system, like the ones used by real LJs in all the popular real life clubs.
Re-lighter makes use of OpenGL hardware lighting, therefore you will have to enable "Nearby local lights" in your SL viewer, under Edit -> Preferences -> Graphics Detail -> Lighting Detail.
This "light" version follows a "fire & forget" attitude, just rez it in-world and enjoy the show!

Some random facts:

- LOW LAG: all of the light effects are rendered locally on your computer
- COPIABLE! Yes you heard good, unlike most of my products, Re-lighter is copiable! Buy once, use as much as you want, in as many places as you can put it
- FREE automatic updates delivered to you by my update servers network: just rez your device and get the incoming goodies
- Full product support, should you have any problem with it

Re-lighter is the first product of its kind to introduce smooth movement for its emitters to allow for an even more realistic behaviour.
Jittery light beams are a thing of the past, with SmoothTrace© the lighting of your space will be even more stunning and beautiful.
Re-lighter is for sale at 990L.

Re-light and Re-light HUD 1.3 out!

It has been a while since I released an update to my Re-light club lighting system, but during these vacations I found time to finally tune all the latest additions I have been meant to add.
So, down to business, here are the news about the main device:

v1.3
- UPDATE: changed the final step in the program creation tutorial to make it a bit more user-friendly
- NEW: added new "Start pos." menu to the server device, in order to be able to choose the desired starting position of the emitters without the need to modify the notecard. Please note that a server reset will also reset this setting
- BUGFIX: the behaviour of the "Show/Hide" button is now more consistent through repeated uses

The update check is issued every time you rez your Re-light.
To manually check for an update, click on ChkUpdate from the device dialog.

And then, the HUD:

v1.3
- NEW: re-engineered pretty much the whole visual layout of the HUD to make it slicker and more user friendly

The update check is issued every time you wear your HUD.
To manually check for an update, you can visit our Update Center terminals in our 2 main shop locations and request a new copy of your item.

Luxace 1.3 out

New version out just before Christmas! If you're an old customer, you should've received your update already, if not, just wear the old HUD and you should get it automagically.
If you have problems still, visit one of our update centers and grab the latest version there.


What's new

v1.3
- NEW: "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons has been added to the HUD to access the new LockCamera functionality. Read the manual for more info
- NEW: the 3 emitters now have a "sculpty" look. Useless? Of course, but I couldn't resist...
- OPTIMIZATION: a lot of tuning has been dedicated to the communication layer between the HUD and the emitters, and in version 1.3 it becomes much more solid and reliable than ever. In addition, the whole system is much lighter and should save a good 20-25% of memory from previous version
- BUGFIX: as a result of the previous point, a vicious bug has been corrected that made the HUD print on screen a weird line of messages while pressing buttons under certain circumstances

About Windlight FirstLook viewer

At the moment, Windlight has got a bunch of problems with local hardware lights rendering.
Some face lights marked as "Windlight compatible" are spreading throughout the grid.
Although I haven't had much time to personally test Luxace with the Windlight viewer, especially because of some issue with the Leopard operating system, since you can place the 3 emitters virtually anywhere near your face, with any color and any intensity/radius setting, it shouldn't be a problem to make it work with Windlight's peculiar way of rendering lights.
To sum it up, I can't assure a full compatibility with the Windlight viewer until it becomes official, but there's a fair chance it will work fine anyway.
