Equimake (a proud NWN partner!) is a web-based, multi-user 3D creation platform that was partly inspired by Making a Metaverse That Matters and designed to be a tool for creators in worlds like Second Life. I've recently been discussing ways Equimake might best work for Second Life creators with founder/lead developer Alex, and we landed on these potential applications:
- Prototype SL sim design / layout on a free multi-user platform -- up to five spaces (5KM in size) for free starter users
- For SL brands: Showcase your 3D mesh content on the web in an interactive setting (see below)
- For SL game creators: Export web-based versions of your SL games to Equimake (Javascript support coming Aug/Sep)
Click here to visit this space
But we should put the question to SL creators: Would Equimake help with your creative pipeline? Or what changes/updates would you first want to see?
Check it out for free here, and if you have questions/feedback, please post in Comments below!
Patreon members, by the way, can get a special Equimake offer here.
Sure lets all upload our 3D stuff to some beardie on the web that does not even have a user agreement on their web page.... What could possibly go wrong?

No. Equimake looks like a fun way to pass about 20 mins of time, and really amounts to what looks like a school project.
An app has to offer me something that isn't already offered somewhere else, or more easily done somewhere else, and doesn't require me to upload my works to their cloud servers in order to operate.
Collaboration has always been cited with many of these type of products, yet in practice, when relating to other users and creators - they don't want to collaborate - they're in constant competition with each other.
I know the author is excited, and in the demonstrate video passionately outlines features that are standard everywhere else, but there is NO REASON for me to use this over anything else.
This is an app I might make as a concept, or on the journey to actually making some sort of studio or app.. not sure what market this is filling or who the author is trying to sell to.
