Sansar – Maxwell Graf

2017/07/12 by Nalates Urriah

This is interesting…

The server roll this morning was canceled last minute. I think it was the Package on Magnum intended to roll out. The fix was to reduce problems with the system losing connection with the SL back end. But, something in the update was overloading the SL back end. So… next week… maybe. The Lindens are … Read more

Second Life – Machinima Settings

2017/07/11 by Nalates Urriah

Strawberry Singh has released a tutorial for those making machinimas using the Firestorm Viewer. You’ll find it here: Second Life Vlogging & Machinima Viewer Tips. It is, of course, a video but. It is backed up with a text version too, good for quick reference. Click the image to jump to YouTube.

I use both the Firestorm and Linden viewers for capturing video. I do think Firestorm is a better choice for most video capture scenarios. I used the Linden viewer as I better knew how to use its voice controls. As Learn how better to control sound I am moving to Firestorm. But, I was curious how many of the Firestorm features are in the Linden viewers.

As I worked through Singh’s list I found the Linden viewer has pretty much the same controls. But, they are way easier to get to and to use with Firestorm. If this were a ‘features’ contest, I would say Firestorm wins on presentation.

Second Life – Third-Party Dev’s UG Meeting 2017 w27

2017/07/08 by Nalates Urriah

Very short meeting, 20± minutes. Nothing new. Just status updates.

The first subject was the JIRA spamming. For now, the JIRA is locked down, no comments. There is no idea how long it will take to build a spam block.

Viewers

The Alex Ivy viewer is out as the main viewer. It will update soon as a couple of problems were found. The Lindens are working on the launcher that figures out if it should load the 32 or 64-bit version of the viewer. They are also adding a setting to allow the user to override the automatic detection and force install of one or the other.

Sansar Opening?

Hamlet at new World Notes has an article on a new round of Sansar invites going out. He is seeing chatter in his social network. See: Sansar Creator Preview Invites Expanding To More SL Users & Developers. I, however, have not gotten mine… :/

Second Life New Avatars 2017

2017/07/07 by Nalates Urriah

Everyone is writing about the new Bento Avatars the Lab has added to the Viewer’s Library of starter avatars in inventory. This is the popular video for showing the avatars. Alicia Chenaux made the video and points out the problem of a new user selecting a full mesh avatar and changing clothes.
