Windlight Alternative SL Client (windlight pulled again)

Tag: Open Source, SL Performance & Clientssyd @ 12:47 am

Updated 12.29.07 4:00 PM

[3:30 PM PST] The updated Windlight viewer is now available for download as well. As mentioned before, these updates are required for anyone using these viewers. -Chiyo

[UPDATE 3:00PM PST] The Release Candidate viewer is once again available for download. The Windlight viewer should be soon to follow. This update will be required for anyone wishing to use these viewers. -Chiyo

If you missed the memo, Windlight client and the Release Candidate clients have been shutdown until further notice (see the Linden Lab blog announcement) as ofSaturday, December 29th, 2007 at 11:56 AM PST. There is however a Windlight Client alternative that works. I have been wanting to try the “Nicholaz Edition” of the Second Life Viewer for a while now, but the constant Linden Versions have kept me pretty busy, (among other things).

SL Windlight Client

Tag: Uncategorizedsyd @ 12:48 am

SL Windlight First Look Client (Direct Download (Win, Mac, Linux [alpha])

First Look Client (currently Windlight) is kinda like a step between the Beta Grid and the Release Canidate. Good for users who want a bit more of a cutting edge experience when it comes to graphics and performance. (I use this client, the graphic enhancements are great but can be straining on older graphics cards.)

SL Sculpted Prims (overview & links)

Tag: Open Source, Tutorials, sculpted primssyd @ 12:58 am

A Sculpted Prim (or Sculptie) is a Second Life 3D primitive object whose shape is determined by a texture. These textures are called Sculpt Textures or Sculpt Maps. You can use sculpted prims to create more complex, organic shapes that are not currently possible with Second Life’s prim system.
