Thursday, January 17th, 2008 at 5:09 PM PST by: Sidewinder Linden
The Beta Preview has been refreshed with another set of fixes, detailed below. The Havok4 project team is working to replace the physics engine in Second Life with a new version. This build resolves a number of avatar and vehicle behaviors, as well as some performance adjustments.
The beta test grid’s database snapshot is from October 30, 2007. If your account is newer than that date, or your password has changed since that date, you will be unable to access the beta test grid.

Charter: Learn to script from enthusiastic volunteer teachers. Script Academy exists to help you learn how to script through tutorials, group IM discussions, and SL get-togethers. This is the place to “learn how to fish.” (But it’s not the place to sell things, or to beg someone to write a script for you.)

If you missed the memo, Windlight client and the Release Candidate clients have been shutdown until further notice (see the Linden Lab blog announcement) as ofSaturday, December 29th, 2007 at 11:56 AM PST. There is however a Windlight Client alternative that works. I have been wanting to try the “Nicholaz Edition” of the Second Life Viewer for a while now, but the constant Linden Versions have kept me pretty busy, (among other things).

Here are some tips for reducing lag and optimizing graphics, that have worked for me and various other people who I have told, for any SL client not just Windlight. Please post a comment if it works for you, or even if it doesn’t and what happened. Hopefully this helps.

SL Windlight First Look Client (Direct Download (Win, Mac, Linux [alpha])
First Look Client (currently Windlight) is kinda like a step between the Beta Grid and the Release Canidate. Good for users who want a bit more of a cutting edge experience when it comes to graphics and performance. (I use this client, the graphic enhancements are great but can be straining on older graphics cards.)

—————————————————————————
Blender - (Wikipedia) is a free software 3D animation program. It can be used for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, skinning, animating, rendering, particle and other simulating, non-linear editing, compositing, and creating interactive 3D applications. Blender has a robust feature set similar in scope and depth to other high-end 3D software such as Softimage|XSI, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max and Maya. These features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid body, fluid, and softbody dynamics, modifier based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node based material and compositing system and Python for embedded scripting.
