Second Life and Virtual Worlds
Things about SL
I’ll use Medhue’s video again this week. Busy with other stuff and missed the meeting.
Medhue apparently missed the first 8 minutes or so.
00:30 – Server-Side Baking update. Presently in QA and impact analysis.
01:15 – Inverse kinematics… not currently in the works.
This is a benefit with an in-world component. It looks fun.

Seems the system had a problem last week. There is a discussion about it on SLUniverse. After a restart, people were getting stuff returned like crazy. It is hard to know how wide spread the problem may have been. Few people are writing anything Google can find.
People are reporting stores jumping from 40 Land Impact (LI) to 400 LI. No small problem.
Some interesting stuff this week.
There is little change in the viewer pipeline. There is a new maintenance version, a new Alex Ivy version, and a new Voice version. All these versions are basically a folding in of recent main viewer update.
Alex Ivy, the 64-bit viewer, has 1 or 2 more bugs to be fixed before it is a candidate for promotion to the main viewer.
The Voice version has an elevated crash rate, but it is better with this last fold in.
All viewers have been tending to crash more over last few months than previously.
Third-Party Dev’s are not getting Linden reports on their viewer performance. Oz will be getting reports out Monday… events permitting.
This is an interesting promo for VRCreative. Jo Yardley shared the post on Facebook, which is where I saw it. I chased down the YouTube link. Did you notice some of the Second Life and Sansar content?
This week the Sansar Casual Meet Ups are at The Lost Treasure of Coral Canyon at 2 to 3 PM PT Monday thru Friday. The Experience takes a bit to download. So, give yourself extra time for your first trip there.
It is a bit hard walking in this Experience. At least in desktop mode. You’ll need to use Ctrl-Mouse to target then left-click to go there.
Also, as of today, the promised Sansar update is not yet out.
The Friday Sansar Product Meet Up will be at 9:30 AM and 4 PM PT in the Astro Port. This meeting is likely to reach the Experience’s population limit, 40±. So, be early. And I suggest you visit the location Thursday to have the Experience cached.
