Note: I also posted a bunch of updates to the previous posts with new links. As I find things that are better or new plugins or scripts I will post those as well.

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.

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.)

Blender - (Wikipedia) is a free software 3D animation program. It can be used for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, skinning, animating, rendering, particle and other simulating, non-linear editing, compositing, and creating interactive 3D applications. Blender has a robust feature set similar in scope and depth to other high-end 3D software such as Softimage|XSI, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max and Maya. These features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid body, fluid, and softbody dynamics, modifier based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node based material and compositing system and Python for embedded scripting.

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.
