KirstenLee Viewer

The articles I’ve written on KirstenLee’s Viewer are collected on this page.

KirstenLee’s Viewer is known for advanced rendering features and is popular with photographers and machinima makers. The viewer requires a high end video card for good performance.

KirstenLee’s Viewer is known for being bleeding edge. It is not recommend for computer novices or those new to Second Life. However, it is easy to install and run in default mode. Advanced knowledge is only needed when one wants to turn on advanced features.
