Wings Educational group to have more developments in 2009.

During this spring we will try start many activities with Wings group. The activities will be on the following points:
- Experimenting various educational tools bridging RealLife with SecondLife and OpenSim (sloodle, moodle, other local tools)
- Setting up a repository sim in SL on Solaris (and / or other sims)
- Establishing a regular schedule of trainings for educators using simple SL tools
Everybody willing to help can contact me inworld (Salahzar Stenvaag)..

While waiting for the next developments, I’ve found a very interesting **free** tool for printing from Word or any other powerpoint like program on Windows. Previously the only usable method was to use Zan Printer which was a bit costing (60$). Now you can do it free!!!
These are very useful to spare 75% lindens on uploading textures to SecondLife!!!

Here the instructions:

1\ Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/imageprinter/ and download the zip version of that software.

2\ Unzip it and launch the installer. At the end it will ask you for best configuration: choose JPG and choose folder where you want to store the output (default: c:\)

3\ from word or any other wordprocessor or powerpoint, when printing you can choose a new printer “Image Printer”, tell it to print 4 pages per page and to choose the “landscape” orientation. On advanced if needed you can select a high resolution format (600×600).

4\ You now have in c:\ or wherever you choose many .jpg combined multitextures that can be used with my tools.

NB: First lesson I will give in May will be on how to use these multitexture in sl or os.
