Learn how to take a JEVN Vendor, such as a P10 or P20 model (though for the demo I use a 6 panel for speed. :D ), and make it into a Hippo Vendor. As I (Rose) say, if you are converting from JEVN to Hippo you got to build it anyway you might as well use what ya got already set up. :D Best viewed full screen!

'''The following's a list of Second Life tutorials.''' This isn't meant to be a complete compilation, but includes tutorials I've personally viewed and have found helpful. I ([[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]]) started this with the intention of providing an easy-access resource for SL vidtuts, because currently (2007-02-27), they're scarce and hard-to-find.

Please add what you've found useful; all I request is that you keep the presentation consistent so this page serves future generations well, and I'll be revisiting to learn from your knowledge —

'''The following's a list of Second Life tutorials.''' This isn't meant to be a complete compilation, but includes tutorials I've personally viewed and have found helpful. I ([[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]]) started this with the intention of providing an easy-access resource for SL vidtuts, because currently (2007-02-27), they're scarce and hard-to-find.

Please add what you've found useful; all I request is that you keep the presentation consistent so this page serves future generations well, and I'll be revisiting to learn from your knowledge —

'''The following's a list of Second Life tutorials.''' This isn't meant to be a complete compilation, but includes tutorials I've personally viewed and have found helpful. I ([[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]]) started this with the intention of providing an easy-access resource for SL vidtuts, because currently (2007-02-27), they're scarce and hard-to-find.

Please add what you've found useful; all I request is that you keep the presentation consistent so this page serves future generations well, and I'll be revisiting to learn from your knowledge —

''"May we watch over the shoulders of our enlightened educators with smiles as plentiful as water!"''

Amras Alder:

'''The following's a list of Second Life tutorials.''' This isn't meant to be a complete compilation, but includes tutorials I've personally viewed and have found helpful. I ([[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]]) started this with the intention of providing an easy-access resource for SL vidtuts, because currently (2007-02-27), they're scarce and hard-to-find.

Please add what you've found useful; all I request is that you keep the presentation consistent so this page serves future generations well, and I'll be revisiting to learn from your knowledge —

''"May we watch over the shoulders of our enlightened educators with smiles as plentiful as water!"''
