Waiting for SL2? You now can already make mesh-models in SL, save them onto your hard-disk. Use them in SL, other games, or whatever. Build your own creative portfolio.
Celzium is an inworld mesh creation tool for SecondLife.
You can select from 32 mesh objects and create more complex build with these, Upto 8 different textures/materials are supported, includes UV-texturing and layout. Upto 200 sub-meshes can be rezzed and converted to a collada .dae file. You can upload into SL, or like blender and other 3D software packages.
I allow people to use, give away and sell the creations created with celzium (if using more then 2 building-blocks of this tool ) inworld, on other grids, to use for graphic & games, your portefolio.
(Selling or distributing the the individual building blocks of celzium I do not allowed at the moment)
And I would ask you to be wise about the distribution of your work, like giving it out copy/mod.
So it doesnt endup in a big biab-pile.
Although I work with standalone 3Dsoftware, I still love the ease of building and sketching in SL, for fine-tuning for certain models, I use like blender now and then.

The idea behind it is, easy to create mesh objects and builds. From beginning to more advanced builders. Its nice to have an inworld tool, from simple sketching, collision models for your more complex builds.. etc.
Can these shapes be cut like sl prims?
No, the shapes are individual types of mesh themself, low-poly mesh-objects including the UV-layout. They can be scaled/rotated/translated, like sculpties. In the future I want to add more mesh shapes and Celzium addons to choose from.
(There are some other tools around for 'normal' sl-prims to 3D-models incase you need that)
Needs:
Second Life client
You need land in SL where you can create and build, and can use scripts.
The tool itself is 1-prim, and 1 prim for each for every building block rezzed (max 200+)
Only the owner of the tool, can use it
A recent browser
To convert the data generated in celzium to a .dae collada file.
Current supports Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera with java-script enabled.

Easy to use, limited shapes, but still great little mesh maker
Easy to use, but limited shapes.
Still 5 star product for simple mesh shapes.
Books aren't as clean as I would like on texturing. No open square hollow, circle or half circle shapes unfortunately. Could use more shape options.
Faster than any sculpt maker program I've seen.
A must have!
Idiot proof so perfect for me :-) Easy to use tool for beginners or advanced builders, your imagination is the limit, the only thing I would wish for: More shapes to choose from, dear creator, if you want to make many people very very happy, please think about providing more shapes *smiles* Due to the easy and customer friendly interface and the great quality of the mesh creations 5 stars :-)
WOW
Easy and quick creation of Mesh without hassle with Blender or other tools. If you know to build and know how to work a browser you know enough for this tool.
Thank you!
I was very scared of Mesh, until a friend showed me this tool! I love it.
At first i thought it wasn't going to work for me - USE GOOGLE CHROME! NOT Windows!!!!! After figuring that out, it works like a charm!
I have made dozens of items already, and the Tool has already paid for itself!
MORE!!! WE WANT MORE SHAPES!!!!!!! :)
Thank you for a great product, and a great intro to Mesh!

Easy to use, low on land impact
This is the best inworld tool as quickstart & works easy for beginners too. Whenever you want to make a mesh which looks good & both low on land impact, this is the one. Also good if you want to use just basic(no torturing) shapes. Only thing i want to see in the future is more shapes that we all need. I want to hollow out more when i stretch out the tube but thats the only kind of thing i can't do... so for that i would use another tool that does it without increase of land impact.
Great, fab. Epic
After an initially bumpy start with Celzium, though the creator didn't actually get back to me verbally, my niggling issues were solved 24 hrs after reporting. So Customer Service is a solid 7 stars.
Product itself as stated n the previous review, is really quite good, I had initial issues with some slight mis-rotations in the sub meshes which didn't match up with the SL Bounding boxes, but after a quick notecard, I was given a replacement which, touch wood, has not given me the same issues.
It is thus a great system :D
