Importing Objects into Second Life

Andy CASA, UCL East


It may not look like much - the Monopoly style house pictured above in Second Life - but this captures the moment our Second Life Importer for .obj files started working. Made in 3D Studio Max the house was saved as a .obj, run through our in house software and saved as a Sculpt Map for import into our section of Second Life.

We plan to make the software either freely or for a very small fee available once its complete. At the moment all the models appear in the preview window as intended yet once imported into Second Life they have a tendency to implode.

Pictured below is the same house imploded:


Joel in our lab is working through the issues, if you have any thoughts feel free to get in touch.

If this works we may well have a simple route for importing 3d objects into Second Life.
