For macOS, Windows and Linux.

Not another viewer.

  1. A completely different look

    Forget what you know about Second Life viewers. Realm is sharp, pixel-styled and built around what you came to do, with colour themes you swap like game cartridges.

  2. Your avatar fleet

    Run up to 4 avatars in real time during the beta. Each keeps its own place, outfit and conversations, all from one window.

  3. AI operations

    Let AI chat with residents, follow your instructions and handle operations for your avatars. You decide who it talks to and what it can do.

  4. Merchant communication

    Stay in touch with your customers right inside Second Life. With ANS support, sales land in your dashboard and buyers are recognised the moment they message you.

  5. Floorplan

    Manage level plans without rezzing a thing. Capture a place, rearrange it floor by floor, and walk through it before anything changes in-world.

For explorers

Go further, and get there on your own.

Point at a spot on the map and go. Realm plans the way from the terrain and collision shapes around you, stairs and openings included.

  • Walk the map

    Walk or run to a target on the live region map, follow someone, or set a patrol route and let it loop.

  • Paste a link, check it, go

    Paste a secondlife:// or Maps link and see the destination before you press Teleport. Keep bookmarks for the places worth returning to.

  • Find what's nearby

    Search close objects by name, like a sign, a vendor or a welcome pack giver. Realm marks each one on the minimap so you can walk over or touch it.

  • Remember the way in

    Record a route through a tricky entrance, then adjust it as a flowchart with branches for what the place throws at you.

For creators

See it finished before you rez it.

Capture a place you already have, or start from an empty floor. Lay it out, stage objects from your inventory, and rez it when it looks right.

  • Every angle

    Plan in top, front, side and 45° cutaway views, with separate projects for each avatar that you can export and import.

  • Walk it offline

    Take a captured place with you as a walkthrough, with geometry and textures saved, and step through it with no region loaded.

  • Wardrobe and preview

    Try objects on in the 3D preview, adjust the lighting, then save the look as an outfit folder of links. Your originals stay where they are.

  • Photo mode

    Compose shots of your avatar and the scene around it, with camera and style controls in Render Studio.

Since 2018

We built this for ourselves. Now it's your turn.

We've been working on this viewer since 2018, mostly for our own needs. Today we decided to make a first beta and give it a try. It solves our problems, and we hope it helps someone else too.

This is a beta

Many features are still experimental or under consideration, so expect things to change as we go.

Voice and pay options are disabled for now. Like many other features, they'll ship in later beta releases.

Roadmap

Where this is going

  1. First beta

    You are here.

  2. Voice and pay options

    Switched on, along with more features from our list.

  3. Server option

    An optimised version to run on your own server.

  4. Inventory, sorted

    Every folder. Every freebie. Finally.

Dates are approximate. Very approximate.
