Description of how to export from Autodesk to OpenSim and Second Life.

Let-Us-Learn is an international project that aims to investigate the potential of a 3D virtual learning environment (3DVLE) designed to engage learners in collaborative, creative problem solving activities in which numeracy, literacy, life skills and creative activities are embedded in a motivating game-like environment. The general idea is make OpenSim technology into a learning environment for students in countries such as South Africa and Uganda (among others). Teaching everything from farming techniques and household economics, to multiplication tables.

Blender 2.5 has a new import feature that can be used for making terrain in Blender. Most terrain tutorials are about getting terrain into Blender and little if anything about getting it out. Those that are about exporting terrain are mostly for Blender 2.49. There are enough changes between 2.49 and 2.59 that it is hard to figure how to accomplish 2.49 tasks in 2.59. This article is about importing terrain to Blender and exporting for use in Second Life and OpenSim. Part 1 is about getting terrain in and Part 2 about getting terrain out.

Unlike other online virtual world clients such as Second Life, OpenSimulator does not feature a method of exchanging or using currency. However, the online virtual world platform does feature protocol hooks that allow administrators to install currency modules. After installing the currency module, users can enjoy a greater level of social realism when playing OpenSimulator by buying and selling items with online currency. You will need the WAMP server suite already installed and functional, as changes will be made to the Apache HTTP server and MySQL database service located within the suite.
