3D software cost savings

* Don't post links to downloads of pirated software or directions/tools to crack trial software. They'll be deleted.
* Don't ask in a public forum where you can download pirated software.
* Don't be fooled by online retailers selling "cheap OEM" copies of software online. None of these programs come in OEM (original equipment manufacturer, or anyone who makes computer hardware and bundles software with them) versions. Many companies such as Autodesk only sell their software through authorized retailers. These too good to be true offers are just that: crooks trying to get you to pay them money for pirated software. (ed.: Trust me: I've fallen for it before and now know better).
* Do be aware that downloading pirated software is a good way to end up with malware on your system such as trojans and keyloggers.
That said, here are some of the legal options you can look for:
* Educational Licenses: If you're a student or know one willing to help you, you can usually get a significant discount on most of these programs. The downside is that many educational licenses say you're not supposed to use the program for commercial purposes.
* Annual Licenses: Many of the same educational vendors also offer an option to buy a one or two year license to the full version of the program, sometimes for as little as $200 or less. Even over the course of several years, this could be the most economical option and you won't be crippled by the terms of an educational license.
* Subscriptions: If you already own the software, some companies, particularly Autodesk, offer subscriptions that can get you access to extra new features and deals on upgrades.
* Trials: Most 3d software has a demo or a "learning edition" that you can download from the software maker and try on your system. They will be either time or feature limited but this is a good way to get your feet wet.
* Old versions: Someone who just bought the latest version of that expensive software might be able to sell you their old version at a very low cost. eBay might be a good source of this. 
So with that out of the way,

3dm2sculpt

== 3dm2sculpt ==
Converter for .3dm Files from MoI (or Rhino, see 'Limits' and 'discussion') to Sculpt Map (.TGA)
===How to use ?===
Copy the 3dm2sculpt.exe File to the Folder where you save your .3dm Files.
Drag and Drop a .3dm File on 3dm2sculpt.exe.
If it worked, you will find a new .tga File in the same Folder.
Note : if a File of the same Name exists, it will be overwritten.
Alternative : use the command Line like "3dm2sculpt mycuteobject.3dm"
===Where to Download ?===
Mod Version: (if it doesn't work, you may need to install this)
*here (128x128) (Hosted by Darien Caldwell)
*here (64x64) (Link unavailable)
*here (32x32) (Link unavailable)
Old Version:
*here (Link unavailable)
*or here (Link unavailable)
 
Updated :
* Normals should be OK now :)
* TGA size changed from 64x64 to 128x128
* Object is now centered correctly
* Multiple Objects are exported as numbered .TGA Files
* Fixed broken File, this Time as .ZIP 
* Output Image flipped horizontally
====Limits====
The Object needs perfect UV Coordinates. Each surface of an object will be output in it's own file. The user will have to manually stitch multi-surface objects together with a image editing application.
Warning : this Program is new and needs more testing, make sure to use the Preview in the Upload Dialog.
===Who did it ?===
 started it with a lot of help from Michael Gibson, author of MoI (Moment of Inspiration) and then took the provided source and embellished it.
Questions ? Comments ? Did it work or Crash ?
===Works with Rhino===
It does work with Rhino-generated *.3dm files under certain, rather specific conditions which are not very intuitive to the novice Rhino user (which I most certainly am). I have a web page on using Rhino in combination with 3dm2sculpt which I intend to maintain and update regularly.
Designing in Rhino for Second Life
Thanks so very much to Cindy Crabgrass and associates for their fine work.
Hope this helps.

A007 Sim Cluster

A007 is a Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 1155-1168/1307-1317, Grid Sector K13, Eastern Ocean.
It can be divided in a few microcontinents. Land is owned by teen estates. Part of the land has access restrictions.

A011 Sim Group

A011 is the temporary name given to the most isolated Sim Group on the map. It is located in Grid Sector G7, Southern Ocean and can be seen as a white dot in the far South-West of the map. Coordinates are 700-701/789-791.
The sim group is composed of only 3 sims. Two of them are in direct contact, the third is only in diagonal contact. The sims are named Sweeny, Lovett and Insula Esoterica. Lovett is adult, the other two are moderate. All 3 sims are owned by the same estate owner.
All 3 islands have nature-themed landscapes. Sweeny is covered with trees, Lovett has beaches (and grain crops on a skybox) and Insula Exoterica has water and beaches.

A014 Sim Cluster

A014 is a Sim Cluster placed at Coordinates 499-541/900-920, both in Grid Sector D9 and E9, in Far West Ocean.
== Structure ==
Only a small part of this sim cluster is in D9 (in fact a grid sector almost entirely void). In E9, it covers more then half of the sim. This means that its surface is higher then any Continent. Sim density is, however, very low, the same density seen in nearby Unassociated Sims. It has 150 sims. For comparation, Serena Sim Cluster is 10 times smaller, but has the same number of sims. In some places, this sim cluster is composed of sims with mathematical disposition.
== Geography ==
As expected, this sim cluster offers a high variety of landscapes. One of the most notable places are wonderland-themed sims or parcels, with unusual objects. In Venezia Island there is a mountain of 94 meters high (and it is not the only one). Ground textures vary from sim to sim and also with Altitude.
== Land Status ==
Sims are owned by multiple estates (and also by multiple estate owners). So, this sim cluster is not the design of a single mind. Many sims are divided into parcels for their owners. Land With Restricted Access exists, but also Protected Land can be found.

A015 Sim Cluster

A015 is a Sim Cluster placed in Grid Sector E9, Coordinates 536-554/948-963, in Far West Ocean. It has the temporary name A015, that means it is the 15th structure identified on the map by Second Life Geography project.
== Overall ==
A015 is composed of about 50 sims, majority of them sharing a mathematical disposition. They form a grid, with distances of about 4 empty sims between them (so it is a diffuse sim cluster). Not all sims are placed in this scheme and in some places there are sims linked together. It looks like they are owned by multiple estates. Many sims share the world Island.
== Geography ==
More then 50% of these sims share a tropical beach texture and tropical vegetation. That is not a rule, there are places where ground is green or has other colors. Usually, the islands are flat, with Altitude set to 20 meters and sea level to 19.5, without mountains or holes, but also that is not a rule. On an island, there is submerged an entire coral reef, near a beautifull garden.
== Buildings ==
There are multiple buildings, from castles to beach estates and even towns. There are decorative buildings, residential buildings and many places created for gamble.
== Land status ==
Land is for sale in these islands, from small parcels to entire sims. There are sims where all land is Inhabited Land, but also entire sims with Unused Land, usually for sale. Skyboxes are present. Also, in many places there is a welcome area, so Protected Land is also present.

A016 Sim Cluster

A016 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster located at Coordinates 529-547/1014/1028, Grid Sector E10, Far West Ocean.
== Structure ==
This sim cluster is visible since it has a high sim density, much higher then the nearby Unassociated Sims. Very interesting that it is actually a cluster inside a cluster. In its center, there is a smaller sim cluster, where sims are placed in contact one to the other at their corners. They are surrounded by sims with mathematical disposition (they form squares), placed at a distance of one void sim one to another. There are 80 to 90 sims.
== Geography ==
There are a few similarities between the sims found here. Ground has a light-green texture (except for very low land, that is sandy, white). There are low and wide mountains, but you can always find large plateaus. It looks like this is more a residential land.
== Land Status ==
As usually in the far West sim clusters, land is owned by a single estate. There is land available for sale. Land With Restricted Access exists, with the use of entity orb teleporters or whole sims have restricted access.

A023 Sim Cluster

A023 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster that can be found at Coordinates 503-521/1093-1111, in Grid Sector E10 and E11, Far West Ocean.
== Structure ==
It is formed of about 55 sims, all placed with mathematical disposition (to form squares). There is a distance of a sim between two sims, so they are not in contact one to another. The geometrical pattern is not complete, there are a few missing sims.
== Land Status ==
Even if there are many estates in here, there is a single estate owner for the entire sim cluster. Land has diverse levels of division inside a sim. Land With Restricted Access exists, but our survey detected no sim with restricted access. Land is available for sale.
== Geography ==
Variations are from plain sims to places below sea levels and mountains (below 100 meters). Also, the types of buildings vary from a place to another. There are shopping places and residential sims. Paradise beach islands are also present.

A025 Sim Cluster

A025 is the temporary name of a large Sim Cluster. Its Coordinates are 437-488/1182-1242. It is located bith in Grid Sector D11 and D12, Far West Ocean.
== History ==
It was one of the first grid structures detected and it remains about the same shape and size today. 
== Structure ==
It is made of 380 sims, almost all placed in mathematical order (to form squares). The structure is not complete, there are gaps and places where two sims are in close contact. Usually, there are two void sims between each two sims (that means a sim density of 10%, higher then average sim density in Unassociated Sims.
== Geography ==
It is impossible to visit all sims existing in this sim cluster, but by random teleporting, a things can be observed.
A025 has many flat sims and sims with hills (mountains are not so frequent), Water exists and sometimes it is full of aquatic life forms. Also, on dryland you might often find vegetation, tropical and temperate forests. There is a high variety of structures and buildings.
== Land Status ==
Land is owned by a single estate.
Unused Land is frequently found here and a lot of land is avaiilable for sale. At Isle Of Crystals there is information available of all comercial land.

A027 Sim Cluster

A027 is the transitory name of a Sim Cluster located in Grid Sector D12, North - West Ocean. Its Coordinates are: 475-497/1250-1265.
== Structure ==
It is formed of 19 to 22 sims (depending where you draw the border). It is a diffuse sim sluster (sims are placed at some distance one to another) and have a tendince for a Mathematical disposition (to form squares on map). It is one of the smallest sim clusters in the area. Very interesting is the fact that it surrounds A026 - Ocean Microcontinent.
== Geography ==
These islands are tropical beach paradise islands. They are composed of a central island (or more islands), with sand texture for ground, with palm trees, a few residential buildings, sculpted cliffs near the shore and a lot of Water. Altitude is low, a few meters above sea level.
The sims inside the sim cluster are very similar to those on the surrounded microcontinent.
Skyboxes exist.
== Land Status ==
These sims are owned by a single estate.
There is Land With Restricted Access, but evacuation time is generous.

A030 Sim Cluster

A030 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster that can be identified at Coordinates 634-650/1176-1185, Grid Sector F11, Far West Ocean. It is placed at about 50 sims West from Eden Continent, one of the most important orientation points on the map.
== Structure ==
It is formed of about 200 sims, larger then any private-owned Continent. This makes it cover a large prat of its grid sector. Parts of this sim cluster have mathematical distribution (and forms squares, with one void sim between every two sims).
== Geography ==
There is a high number of skyboxes in this sim cluster. Some of them are shops, while others are beautiful gardens. On ground, altitude is usually low and Water is present. There is even a sim 90% flooded. There is a high variety of ground textures, buildings and plants.
== Land Status ==
More then 50% is Land With Restricted Access. Many sims are not opened for public, while others have entity orb teleporters. 90% (Probably all) sims are owned by a single estate owner.

A032 Sim Cluster

A032 is the temporary name of a Sim Cluster found at Coordinates 694-701/1120-1128, in Grid Sector F11, Western Ocean. It is South to Eden Continent.
It is a very diffuse sim cluster, almost unseparated from its nearby Unassociated Sims. Most probably, this is a result of random sim creation and movement then the result of an estate owner's mind. Sims are different (but there is a high percent of sims with low altitude and light-colored ground texture). There are many estates in the area.
At the spring survey (March 20th 2014), this sim cluster was reported as vanished from map.

== Structure ==
A036 is formed of two different parts: The sims in South are in contact one with the other at their corners, while the sims in North are a bit more isolated. There are 50 to 60 sims.
== Geography ==
These sims are residential area, with green landscapes water channels or mountain ranges to separate parcels. Vegetation is present and sometimes there are lush forests that hide large houses behind them.
== Land Status ==
This land is not owned by a single estate. There are multiple estates here.

A044 Sim Cluster

A044 is a Sim Cluster with Coordinates 1067-1073/932-936, Grid Sector J9, Central Ocean. A044 is a transitory name given by Second Life Geography team.
== Structure ==
It is a small sim cluster, like all in Central Ocean. It is placed East to Jeogeot and South - West to Shopping Continent. It is made of 15 sims, with a higher sim density in center.
== Geography ==
Sims in center are beach paradise - themed, with water, ground texture made to look like sand, low altitude and tropical vegetation. In West, there are also sims with water and tropical vegetation, but with some mountains (maximum altitude of 40 meters) and more grass textures. In South, you can find sims with green ground texture and some flower gardens. Shops are present.
== Land Status ==
These sims are not owned by the same estate. Only central sims are owned by the same estate. Land With Restricted Access exists here. Maturity rating includes both moderate and adult sims.

A051 Sim Cluster

A051 is a Sim Cluster placed at Coordinates 1173-1179/1167-1181, Grid Sector K11, Eastern Ocean. It is placed North-East to Gaeta 1 and Gaeta 5, South-East to LR Sims and North-West to Serena Sim Cluster. It is clearly separated by void from any nearby map structure.
It is formed of 21 sims. Many of these sims have elevated land (mountains or hills), with Altitude below 100 meters. Flat sims, if they exist, they are very rare. Water is also present. There are shops and residential buildings. Land belongs to a single estate. There is land for sale (even an entire sim). Land With Restricted Access is rare.

A052 Sim Group

A052 is the temporary name of a Sim Group. It is placed at Coordinates 1209-1213/1277-1279, in Grid Sector L12, Eastern Ocean. It is very isolated of other structures by intersim void ocean. On the map, at low resolution, it looks like a white dot and it is one of the most representative feature of the Eastern Ocean.
The sims that form it are called MLBR Paraty, MLBR Trindale, Ubatuba, Praia Velmelha and Enseada. All sims are heavilly divided into small percels, separated each one by an alley. Overall, their population is higher then the average population for a sim. Maturity rating is General or Moderate. Altitude is low, in fact these sims are flat. Another feature is the white texture of the ground, that gives them this white color on map.
All these sims are owned by a single estate. Land is available for sale. Protected Land is present, in the form of sharp roads between parcels. Land With Restricted Access exists, but since there are roads that allows you to go anywhere, it is not a problem.

A053 Sim Cluster

A053 is a Sim Cluster placed at Coordinates 1347-1358/1171-1182, inside Grid Sector M11, Eastern Ocean.
== Structure ==
It is formed by a central structure of 15 sims and a few sims at higher distance. The central structure cannot be considered a Microcontinent since in some parts access from a sim to the next one is not possible (sims are in contact only on their corners). The West part can still be considered as a microcontinent formed of 7 sims. There are 11 sims placed further away.
== Geography ==
Majority of the sims are flat. They offer a plain for building, where you can find institutions, schools and roads to connect them (and decorative vegetation).
There are a few sims that host hills and rivers (like Healthinfo Island, with maximum Altitude of 46 meters).
== Land Status ==
Land is owned by multiple estates. These are uiversities or institutions, so they are teen estates.

A063 Sim Cluster

A063 is a large Sim Cluster. Its Coordinates are 858-983/1222-1312, so it is found both in Grid Sector H12 and I12, Northern Ocean.
== Structure ==
It is a sim cluster with mathematic disposition. Sims are placed to form squares and between each two existing sims there are two void sims. Its size is impressive. It hosts more then 700 sims, a value that is comparable with a large Continent. Sim density is close to 11%. The total amount of space covered by this enourmes sim cluster is as large as an entire grid sector.
There are a few small microcontinents inside this sim cluster.
== Geography ==
It is impossible to survey by random teleporting even 30% of all sims found here. As expected, the variety of land found here is too big. It is impossible to make statistics about land types. Second Life Geography team made a few random teleports in the area and discovered anything, from tropical beaches, residential land, wilderness sims and large shops, to gay places and buildings that cluld not be defined.
== Land Status ==
Land is owned by multiple estates, but one of them seem to have near 50% of land. Probably there is a land corporation that works through multiple estates. Such a gigantic sim cluster cannot be created by random.
It is a place that deserves to be visited. By random teleporting, there are so many surprises that a traveler might find. Just note that Land With Restricted Access is present and covers about 40% of all land.
