  "Camera controls
  
  In the Viewer's user interface, there's the Camera controls. Like Move, all camera controls have keyboard equivalents. These shortcuts are more complicated than movement controls because they require pressing several keys (and/or the left mouse button) simultaneously, so there's a healthy proportion of Residents using one way or the other — or both.

Short Presentation about Building at CLIVE

Avatar Design Using Mesh in Second Life

Read about mesh on the Linden blog:
http://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2010/09/14/next-steps-for-mesh-import

Mesh: "allows content created in the mainstream 3D creation tools, such as Maya or Blender, to be imported directly into Second Life, in much the same way that animations and textures can be uploaded today. SL plans to provide support for the Collada file format."

Personally, i believe this is going to change the look and feel of Second Life. Also, importance of art and artistic abilities and artists and visions will be ever more critical in builds and other 3d creations.

I think that's a good thing.
