Last week
we talked about how to create an account with Second Life. Now that
you've gotten your account set and you have been able to do some exploring
within Second Life; let’s talk about uploading some of those awesome creations
you’ve been working on. Before you will
be able to upload anything you must login to your account via the Second Life
website. On the left hand side you will see tabs going down such as Account,
Event, Shop, and Land Manager. Click on
the Account tab, a drop-down will occur and you want to look for the category
Mesh Upload Status.
First
thing you must do if the Payment Information and IP Tutorials are in red; click
on the payment info and choose a payment method. This is only used if you want to purchase L$
or buy land and have payment fees. Ok so
you have filled out your payment information and now you have the IP Tutorial
left to do. Click on the go to the IP
Tutorial link. It will walk you through a series of questions regarding
copyright integrity. It’s to make sure
you know what is right and what is wrong when uploading mesh into Second
Life. For example you created a really
cute Mickey Mouse purse. Can you upload
that into Second Life? NO!!! Because even though you created it, Mickey Mouse
is copyrighted by Disney therefore you would not be allowed to upload this
item. So you answered the series of questions and passed with flying colors.
YAY!!! Now you can log onto Second Life and start uploading your mesh and be on
your way to a successful business owner within Second Life. Next week we will talk about actually getting your Mesh uploaded into Second Life.
