The Hippo OpenSim Viewer is a modified viewer, targeted at OpenSim users. It allows building up to a height
of 10,000 m, scaling prims up to 256x256x256 m and other exciting features. More specific OpenSim features are under development.

The current version is based on the official Linden Lab release 1.21.6.

NOTE: This viewer can connect to the Second Life grid, but there the usual limits of Second Life apply.

Limitations Removed or Extended

The host simulator platform establishes the exact parameters and limitations enforced by the viewer. For more details please see the limits page. Some highlights for OpenSim:

• Build up to 10,000 m.
• Scale prims up to 256x256x256 m.
• Set transparency up to 100 in the edit window.
