				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a story how virtual landscapes at 21strom are created, from the first scratch to final landscape, where your avatar can walk and hang out with friends.</p>
<p>I take a pencil and paper at the start. Yeah, seriously. I know, there is a 2014:) But it still looks like most efficient way how to rez my ideas from my mind Inventory.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day1-1.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-196 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day1-1" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day1-1-1024x763.jpg" width="660" height="491" /></a>Oh, wait, something very important is missing!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day1-2.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-197 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day1-2" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day1-2-1024x716.jpg" width="660" height="461" /></a>I have got a big pile of papers on my desk, some sketches are lost somewhere down there, some of them are new and still in my mind&#8230;</p>
<p>There is a sweet springtime here, so the day two starts with a short walk and a camera in my hand.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-01.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-198 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-01" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-01-1024x768.jpg" width="660" height="495" /></a>That is how my neighbourhood in spring looks like&#8230; Best time for freshly minted photos of blossom cherries.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-02.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-200 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-02" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-02-1024x768.jpg" width="660" height="495" /></a>I pick up the most thick and pink trees and focus on close-up shots.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Several hours later first trees are born in my home local grid. Grass and trunk textures are good, but the blossoms&#8230;<a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-1.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-199 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-1" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-1-1024x768.jpg" width="660" height="495" /></a><br />
Ugly, isn&#8217;t it? <img src='https://opensim.21strom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Right time for pure digital art. Sometimes trees are most &#8220;photorealistic&#8221; when they are made digitally:)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-3.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-202 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-3" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-3-1024x640.jpg" width="660" height="412" /></a>Better now, but I need more plausible colors. Spring soft gently colors for sensitive ladies:)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-2.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-201 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-2" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-2-1024x714.jpg" width="660" height="460" /></a>And vivid red for lovers. Yeah, I admit, I watch Intelligence series:)<br />
<a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/intelligence.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-209 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="intelligence" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/intelligence-1024x768.jpg" width="660" height="495" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My work place could look messy, but it is organized creative universe!<br />
<a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-4.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-203 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-4" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-4-1024x714.jpg" width="660" height="460" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-5.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-204 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="day2-5" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/day2-5-1024x640.jpg" width="660" height="412" /></a><br />
Usually I complete the landscapes at my local OpenSim grid and distribute it by OAR file to other grids, but this time I will try to complete it in Kitely. I expect it will be a lot of work to make all the variations, and in Kitely I can insert finished items straight away from Inventory to Kitely Market. Moreover, I had no previous problem with backuping all the region at Kitely, so I can take it from there and import into my home local grid.</p>
<p>Floor with 6 colors of landscapes, every color in 12 variations. Cherry orchard in the sky:)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely1.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-206 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="final-kitely1" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely1-1024x546.jpg" width="660" height="351" /></a>Sky floors for making snapshots of landscapes and solitaire trees.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely2.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-207 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="final-kitely2" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely2-953x1024.jpg" width="660" height="709" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely3.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-208 aligncenter" alt="How virtual landscapes are born" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final-kitely3-694x1024.jpg" width="660" height="973" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sample of landscapes at <a href="http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Zuza-Ritt/21strom"><strong>21strom in Kitely</strong></a> region, everybody can walk through landscapes before purchase. Or just walk and enjoy it, region is open for everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final2.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-205 aligncenter" title="How virtual landscapes are born" alt="final2" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/final2-1024x643.jpg" width="660" height="414" /></a></p>
<p>In few days I made <strong>72 mesh landscapes</strong> and <strong>18 mesh trees</strong>.<br />
I also made <strong>262 snapshots</strong> in virtual world and processed it into <strong>167 pictures</strong>.<br />
All the work, including 3D files, all graphic files and all snapshots have <strong>3,40 GB on my harddisk</strong>.</p>
<p>Finally there are <a href="http://www.kitely.com/market?q=cherry+blossom&amp;store=2041388" target="_blank"><strong>7 products at Kitely Market</strong></a>, with plenty of variations, most of them <strong>exportable into hypergrid</strong>.<br />
You can enjoy landscapes at <a href="http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Zuza-Ritt/21strom" target="_blank"><strong>21strom in Kitely</strong></a> or at <a href="hop://hypergrid.org:8002/21strom/128/128/23" target="_blank"><strong>21strom in Metropolis</strong></a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have decided to transfer all your content from Second Life to another OpenSim grid, like Kitely, you have several possibilities how to do that.</p>
<p>Good solution is make backup from SL and restore it on your home local OpenSim standalone region, you can use vanilla <a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Download" target="_blank">OpenSim</a>, <a href="http://metaverseink.com/Downloads.html" target="_blank">Diva Distro</a> or <a href="http://simonastick.com/" target="_blank">Sim-on-a-stick</a>, all are free to use, or <a href="http://newworldstudio.net/" target="_blank">New World Studio</a> with several editions (I have not tried this option).<br />
Make new region, where you restore all your products, that is your main copy of your content, you can backup your region with your precious content as you need.<br />
<a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/OpenSim_Archives" target="_blank">Make the OAR file</a> from this region, import it to the new world, pick up all your products and use them. Thanks to Isis Ophelia for discussing this brilliant idea;)</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.kitely.com" target="_blank">Kitely virtual worlds</a> every registered user can have got one region for free. Region in size 256&#215;256 meters can hold up to 100 000 prims.<br />
You can create new world (1 region) and import OAR file there for free. If you will replace your region by new OAR file later, you need 10 KC (Kitely Credits, cost for 1,000 KC is $5 or less) for importing this new OAR file to Kitely.<br />
If you need categorize and manipulate your object in Kitely, you can use <a href="http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world/Ilan-Tochner/Kitely-Merchants-Sandbox" target="_blank">Kitely Merchant Sandbox</a>, which is free to use for unlimited time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.kitely.com/virtual-world-news/2013/10/05/the-content-liberation-front/" target="_blank">Kitely Market is now free to use</a>, listing fee was canceled at Oct. 5 2013, you can list all your products at Kitely Market for free. Kitely respects your rights and don’t claim ownership over your creations. You can backup all you listings at <a href="http://www.kitely.com/market" target="_blank">Kitely Market</a>.<br />
</strong>Only fee you pay is for sold product, and it is clear explained at <a href="https://kitely.atlassian.net/wiki/display/doc/Kitely+Market" target="_blank">Kitely Market documentation</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Backup with Second Inventory (Stored Inventory)</h2>
<p>This app is available at <a href="http://secondinventory.com/" target="_blank">webpage</a> or inworld in Second Life for one-time fee. It is not developed since 2009, there is only community support, and there are some problems with backup. Anyway, if you have hundreds or thousands items to backup, it is still best option. You need to buy MultiAvatar version.<br />
Second Inventory (SI) looks like light non-graphic Viewer, it is intuitive to use.<br />
You need some calm place in SL, when you can stand for hours, like skybox on your parcel.<br />
For restoring you need a place, where you can rez items &#8211; your local OpenSim or Kitely Merchant Sandbox in Kitely is the place. You will rez items and wear items, when restoring wearables.<br />
You can <strong>backup whole folder in SI</strong>, so move all your products in one folder and start backup. It could take several hours to backup hundreds of items.<br />
You cannot backup coalesced objects. You can backup linked objects and single items &#8211; prims, textures, scripts, sounds, animations&#8230;<br />
You can only <strong>backup items, which you created</strong> and you have full perms for the object. Object inworld does not need be set for fullperm, but you have to have these permissions for it. Due SL restrictions you cannot backup full perm sculpties, meshes or scripts bought from other authors for your products.<br />
There are <strong>bugs in SL</strong>, like some of your object, made by you, has you as a author when rezzed, but has &#8220;Unknown Avatar&#8221; as author when in Inventory.  You cannot backup this item, regardless you are genuine author of the item.<br />
It is known bug for several years, LL support is not able to help you with this issue. They have not fixed it yet, you can vote on Jira, that is all you can do with it.<br />
SI is buggy too, there is text log after every backup, check it and if some items are not backuped, make the backup manually for every item.<br />
The biggest pain in SI is fact, you cannot restore the folder. You have to <strong>restore one object only at a time</strong>.<br />
With proper settings of SI you can restore all your objects to their original folders.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>XML export/import</h2>
<p>This possibility is known several years, recommended was the Imprudence 1.3 Viewer, which is out of date. I am using <a href="http://www.firestormviewer.org/" target="_blank">Firestorm</a> or <a href="http://www.singularityviewer.org/" target="_blank">Singularity</a>. Firestorm has Export feature hidden by default , you can activate it in <em><strong>Debug Settings</strong></em>:</p>
<p><a href="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/FS-export.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-164 aligncenter" alt="FS-export" src="http://opensim.21strom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/FS-export-300x264.jpg" width="300" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>The best solution is to use same Viewer for backup and for restoring items. Firestorm in OpenSim version could be used for log in into SL.<br />
There are some problems when same cache directory for several grids is used, <strong>uploaded textures are missing</strong>, because cached items are used for upload. You have to upload all textures separately, including sculpt textures, and apply them on prims again.<br />
Using the several instances of Viewer can help avoid this problem. Make several icons on your desktop, new for every grid, every instance has different directory for cache.<br />
There are same <strong>restrictions for backuping content</strong> &#8211; in SL you can backup only items where you are author. You can backup items, where are the parts from other author (like old huge prims), these parts will be missing after import to new grid.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>HPA export/import with Angstorm</h2>
<p>I have never tried that one, but due the wiki backup includes scripts and textures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>DAE or OBJ export</h2>
<p>There is possibility to export all your objects, including prims and sculpties, into 3D files &#8211; OBJ or DAE. You can edit them in 3D applications or import them as mesh in other grids.<br />
Prims and sculpties exported as mesh will not be low-poly meshes, be aware of that fact.<br />
New <a href="http://www.singularityviewer.org/" target="_blank">Singularity</a> 1.8.3 is able to <strong>backup textures and/or textures setting</strong> (like pattern repeating) with DAE or OBJ files.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Shape export</h2>
<p>You can export your avatar shape in <em><strong>Appearance-Shape</strong></em>. <a href="http://www.singularityviewer.org/" target="_blank">Singularity</a> since 1.8.1 is able to that export.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These informations are based on my experiences, that ones I have tried and I am sure it works. If you know another possibilites, or find some mistakes in my explanation, let me know.</p>
