A different look at Second Life, twice

Second Life machinima… in 3D

I guess this makes Second Life a (3D)² world when playing with this client? Sadly enough, no info on where to get the client, and not much on the Teen Grid Resident ‘Trifile Toshi’ - except for a Flickr Stream - that uploaded this 3D machinima. Trifile, if you read this, please share with us, any way to _get_ that ’stereographic’ Second Life client. Would love to try it for snapshotting! (And even if you just post-processed the video, would be swell to know how you did that. ;)) Stereography works with two slightly different camera angles layered over each other, which - in combination with the red/cyan difference - creates an illusion of depth. Best viewed with appropriate glasses!

Update: found the right stereo client!

Hat Tip to Mr Malburns

Retro Second Life (aka LindenWorld)

Most of us remember the time when ‘WindLight’ was a vague promise by the Lindens. Some remember the invention of ‘click clack shoes’ and ‘facelights’. And a few avatars originate from the ‘no attachments’ virtual world era. But did you ever see footage of terraforming - the only possible way - by throwing grenades? Have you heard of ‘bouncing water’ - liquids! - and tsunamis? A flashlight on your camera? A ecosystem with ‘Ators’ which ate birds, which ate rocks? Population control with grenades? But does anybody remember ‘LindenWorld’? Good times, when every avatar owned a gun! ;)

Jesse & Andrew Linden share machinima footage shot with a revived 2001 build of the LindenWorld / Second Life client. Call it ‘Retro Second Life’! When can we play? Jesse says: ‘Although we lost the destructive power of grenades, I still think we made it a better world’. I’m not sure and now want popcorn and explosions! Behold this little piece of Second Life history:
