Viewers

It looks like the Project Tools Update Viewer version 3.7.25.298862 will update in Week 10. I would guess it will promote up to an RC release.

This version is a feature locked version, meaning the build tools won’t get any more new things until this viewer is out and people are testing it. Once it release and data is collected another round of improvements will be embarked on. Apparently there is a cue of things waiting for this phase to complete so they can be implemented into the process.

New RC Login Viewer

by

Login Viewer version 3.7.25.298971 – Some time ago we got the multi-login buttons viewer. This version is a reversion to a single login button. No one has offered any explanation. I assume the Lab is watching stats and making decisions. I don’t see a related JIRA item.

Download

I sort of like the multiple login buttons.

Project Managed Marketplace Viewer version 3.7.25.298865 – This Project Viewer was updated on the 13th. The release notes list 22 fixes for this version.

There are 3 RC Viewers and 5 Project Viewers. Click the download link above to see them.

Unreal Engine

Jo Yardley has posted about the graphics available when world builders use the Unreal Engine. See: Stunning demo shows what is possible in VR graphics with Unreal Engine.

I am sure it will be pretty awesome to use the Oculus Rift HMD in a world like this.

Improvements

Ciaran Laval has an article up on his site that gives a good summary of recent changes in Second Life and coming changes. See: Linden Lab Ask Us To Check Out Improvements To Second Life. I’ve mentioned some of these weeks ago but he goes into more detail and collects them into one place.

Daniel Voyager has a similar article: Linden Lab publishes upcoming improvements to Second Life.
