3. Viewer

The viewer is the equivalent of your web browser for 3D worlds. You can use any OpenSimulator compatible viewer to access Speculoos. We recommend Firestorm :
https://www.firestormviewer.org/os-operating-system/
.

Make sure you download the “Opensim Only” version (not the “SL Only” version).

First add Speculoos World to your viewer:

  • Go to the “Viewer” menu -> “Preferences” (or type Ctrl-P)
    > Grid Manager” tab
    > Section “Add a new grid”.
  • Click on “Apply” and then “OK”.

When the Speculoos is added, you will be able to log in:

  • Make sure that the grid selected in the “Grid” menu is Speculoos.
  • Enter your avatar’s first and last name in the “Username” box and your password in the “Password” box.
  • Click on “Connection”.
