I’ve seen this viewer appearing in Inara Pey’s Viewer Round Up’s. She also did a good review of Radegast 2.2 in early August. I saw some information on the OSGrid forum that interested me so I did some checking.
Radegast Viewer Splash Screen
Between Inara’s review and the Radegast Wiki one can get a good impression of how the viewer works.
The Wiki describes the viewer as:
Lightweight client for connecting to Second Life and OpenSim based virtual worlds.
Radegast is feature rich GUI client. With its full support for all communication within a virtual world (chat, IM, group IM, friends conference) it’s ideal for situations where full 3D client is less than ideal solution, for example, an office environment, too slow a machine and similar.
It’s written using libopenmetaverse, and it runs on any platform that supports .NET/mono. It’s being actively tested on Windows and Linux.
There is a good collection of screen shots on the wiki. See: Radegast Screenshots.
I’m not going to install the viewer and review it. It just doesn’t look like fun. I mean that it won’t be ‘fun’ for me. It just isn’t something I want to play with. I will be keeping it in mind for when I am away from home and must use a light weight computer.
I use Radegast on my netbook as it’s graphically challenged and it’s perfect for that.
Thanks for saying.
Same here. It’s almost perfect for when you need an alt. to test permissions or some feature of a project that’s being worked on. Permissions in general, actually, as well as for whenever your main system keels over and your backup computer is all you have available.
Thanks
I must also chime in for Radegast. For just logging in and keeping up with IMs, groups, or just sorting your inventory, Radegast is excellent. It also has a 3D view, you can get a ‘peek’ of wat is around you if you really need to. But I use Radegast on my netbook and to log in an ALT for various roleplay situations where I have a second avatar in a scene.
Thanks for saying…
