How to Import Animations With LibSL

"Second Life" is an online social massively multiplayer online role-playing game that lets players interact with other users around the world and make real-world money. Players can import their own animations into the game using LibSL, or LIB Second Life. This program will convert any XML animation file you can find online or that you have created with the free QAvimator program. Importing the animations into the game then makes them accessible in your "Animation" menu from the "Character Profile" section of the game.

  Download the installation program of QAvimator onto your desktop. Run the program and follow the commands to install it to your computer. Skip this step and the second if you have already found the XML animations appropriate for use in "Second Life."
