Sketchlife
http://vrshed.com/sketchlife/index.html Sketchlife is a system which allows you to build for Second Life using SketchUp. Most 3D modelling tools use meshes (vertices connected by edges which define faces), whereas Second Life has adopted solids, referred to as primitives, to be their indivisible building blocks. This guarantees that there won't be any stray polygons flying around, but it also prevents mesh models from being imported automatically. The in-world modelling tools in Second Life are quite good, but they are stone age compared to the 3D modelling power tool that is SketchUp. SketchUp is free. (Thank you Google.) Therefore, if we can't bring SketchUp to Second Life, we'll bring Second Life to SketchUp. |

Problem Solver: Web on a Prim
http://tidalblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/problem-solvr.html Problem Solver: Web on a Prim "Interestingly Solvr seems to run on web prims (HTML-on-a-prim) in SL in as much as live updating occurs (as with Etherpad and Skrbl). If you set the touch action of the prim to "Open media", the page will open in the internal client browser (assuming that is your default; shown on right in somewhat grotty image which can at least be enlarged by clicking on it) and you can access the full functionality so far as I could tell" |

SL Wiki Tree
http://studiowikitecture.wikidot.com/how-to SL Wiki Tree The Wikitecture Interface is made up of 2 major components, the 'trunk' and archiving 'canopy' above. The lower 'trunk' is reserved for most of the functionality. The spherical 'archive leaves' above however, are for storing the individual design iterations throughout the duration of the project. Although not always the case, the general rule will typically apply: one spherical 'archive leaf' = one design iteration = one contributor. If you click or 'touch' one of these leaf spheres, the design contained within, will rez itself out onto the parcel. |

Hippo Viewer .. alternative for Second Life
http://forge.opensimulator.org/gf/project/opensim-viewer/frs/ Hippo Viewer .. alternative for Second Life For PC or Linux, you can use the Hippo Viewer. It's based off the official viewer, works nearly identically, but doesn't usually (if ever) have the same limitations with regards to versions. Be sure to use the simple grid preferences to change the default grid to Second Life instead of OSGrid for connecting to SL. This program will install without overwriting the official viewer. |

Second Life viewer for Linux
http://sldev.free.fr/ This site is meant to publish patches and pre-compiled versions of the Second Life viewer for Linux. Fact is that Linden Lab (hereafter referred as by "LL") just cannot happen to take into account in a timely manner all the patches and bug fixes which the open source community provides. You can publish a patch and see it actually taken into account only months later... Plus, LL often implements changes in their viewer without any or with very little regard to what their customers, the "residents" do like or not (one of the worst of all these changes in regard to the UI was probably the Voice viewers chatterbox). Such changes are considered by many users as true regressions, either in usability or functionality, and usually both. Using this viewer or not is entirely up to you, of course. But it got quite a few bugs and regressions fixed, as well as really Cool new features (see the list of patches)... |
