Snowstorm Viewer Project Update Week 9

by
Snowstorm
Snowstorm Viewer

Most of the viewer work is still boring technical stuff… button fixed here, arrow fixed there… important stuff, just not very exciting. But, there is lots of work going on. Here are the items I think are somewhat interesting.

Current Changes

STORM-610: Changes to Environment Editor: water color change is not saved – This one is still in progress. The latest fix failed and the change was backed out.

STORM-680: Avaline callers are added to the Recent list – The expected behavior has been adjusted and the fix is in… as of yesterday. This means one will see it in version SLV2.7.0-222124 Development.

Yay, we have a new release. You can find the Dolphin Viewer 2 Download here. There is also a new version of the Snowglobe version Dolphin Viewer 1.5.46.3627 (download on the same page). This article is about my experience with 2.5.1 version.

Download & Install

Typical, easy.

The settings from the previous install are retained. I installed over the top of the previous version. All seemed to work without a cache clear.

Numbakulla Closing

SL's Numbakulla Closing

Darn.

Numbakulla is closing. It opened in July 2005. A long run for a Second Life game.

Numbakulla is a Myst Style puzzle region, a game like Myst or Uru Live. The Myst series of games includes Riven, Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation, and Myst V: End of Ages. Uru Live (MMOG) was a spin off and is now revived for the third time and free to play. Numbakulla is the same style.

I understand Numbakulla will remain open through next weekend, then poof. It will be gone. We may see a reincarnation on an OpenSim grid. We can hope…

Sniff, sniff… 🙁

 

Second Life Buying Eyes & Lashes Tutorial

by
SL Eye Lashes
Second Life Eye Lashes - #1

This is a tutorial about knowing enough about eyes and lashes in Second Life to know what you are buying. Hopefully enough to avoid getting ripped off. This is not about how to make them.

I’ve run into problems buying lashes. I’ve found it very frustrating. May be this will save you some frustration and Lindens. You may also find there are some eye-lash types out you didn’t know about.

O2 by Machinimatrix for Go Green

by

If you haven’t met Gaia, you probably don’t make machinima or sculpties. I met Gaia on the SL Forums, like two forum versions ago. Domino and others were developing tools that became PrimStar and JASS. Both of which any sculpty modeler using Blender must have.

Gaia made a new machinima for an entry to the Go Green Eco Film Competition. Gaia’s flim is one of two machinima’s entered in the contest. The winner is determined by popular vote. One needs to visit 48GoGreen, signup, watch the video, and vote. I’m writing about the film to help out Gaia and we both hope good placement in the contest (winning?) will also help Second Life. So, your votes will be appreciated.
