Abstract: Currently, Second Life does not have the ability to import anything except textures, sounds, and BVH animation files. 3d models are not able to be imported from other programs - all building with prims is done with the tools within SL itself. There have been some user-created projects to develop ways to import objects. One such project is Jeffrey Gomez’s importer, which uses the free Blender tool along with a custom tool he has developed and some scripts within SL to be able to build items offline. For more information on that project, see the forum thread linked below….
