Different ways to do the same thing
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Different_ways_to_do_the_same_thing Different ways to do the same thing There are often "different ways to do the same thing" in Second Life, or in other words, various paths to one goal. For example, a newcomer may prefer using the mouse to clicking menu options, but when you know there are keyboard shortcuts — which "power users" generally prefer — you can graduate to those. Here are some examples ... |

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. |

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. |

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)... |

Cell phone + Web cam + Second Life = Magic
http://tinyurl.com/62tv4c Cell phone + Web cam + Second Life = Magic To go from a frozen avatar waiting for his slides to rez, to a live talking head that can switch back and forth to a presentation or screencast-demo. I’d heard that there were ways to stream into Second Life, but most of those presentations were big ones done by major corporations, likely spending oodles of money. With a little elbow grease and some creative thinking though, I thought surely there must be a way to do it. . ... And there was. |

Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life
http://magnatune.com/info/second_life Streaming Magnatune's Music into Second Life We'd like you add our music to your land, so that people visiting your space can listen to our fabulous music. We've made 40 different streams--from Alternative Rock to World--just for Second Life use, so you can pick the genre that best fits your tastes. Best of all, we consider all Second Life playing of these streams to be a promotional use of our music, and grant you a license to use our music for free. We also grant you a collecting society waiver, so that if ASCAP or BMI ever asks you to pay them for the music you're using on Second Life (something they can do if you play anyone else's music in SL), you can point them to this page. |

Sculpted Prims
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sculpted_Prims Sculpted Prims A Sculpted Prim, or sculptie, is a prim whose shape is determined by an array of coordinates stored as RGB values in an image file (a Sculpt Texture or Sculpt Map). Sculpted prims can be used to create more complex, organic shapes that were not previously possible with Second Life's prim system. |
