![]() ![]() ![]() While technically you can capture video from within Second Life, the truth is that your frame rate suffers as the client (at least on the Mac) attempts to render both your viewer screen while scrambling to also record to the HD. Most of what is available on the web as to the creation of machinima refers to creating in Windows, but I truly wanted to take advantage of the best of both worlds: the speed of Second Life on Windows combined with the video capture tools available for that platform, while using the excellent editing tool iMovie in Mac OS X. I will preface by saying that I play Second Life on a 17″ iMac with a 1.83Mhz Intel processor, 1GB of RAM and 250GB HD. Nonetheless, actually getting the system working at a decent level takes a fair bit of research which I wanted to distill here. Technically, Second Life is an amazing platform for the creation of machinima, allowing you to create avatars, animations, sets and lighting in-world, in addition to containing tools for the capture of video to your hard drive. ![]()
