  • Hippo Viewer - a fork of version 1.23 of the Linden Client with OpenSim specific enhancements
  • Imprudence Innovative viewer with a high focus on OpenSimulator (good OSSL support). Highly popular amongst users on OSGrid.
  • Phoenix Viewer Based on the now discontinued Emerald Viewer (which was based on the 1.23 LL viewer), one of the most popular viewers. Combines many improvements and features from different viewers. (Not fully supported)

  • Dolphin Viewer v3 based viewer, but v1 and v2 based versions are also available. Contains modifications which are useful for building, sailing, and for using vehicles.

Viewers without Grid Selector

You need to launch this viewer with a --loginuri command line parameter to connect to OpenSim grids.

Text-only Viewers

These are lightweight viewers, which do not offer a graphical environment or where the graphical component is not used by deault. The function of these viewers however is to connect to a grid, chat, manage inventory, etc. Useful on systems with low specifications or for bringing an alt online without having your main avatar log out, or to quickly take care of messages, inventory, etc.

Other Viewers

  • Idealist viewer, Not actively developed.
  • 3Di viewer, Status unknown.
  • Xenki, an XBAP 3D application intended to be a browser add-on for OpenSim. Not actively developed.

Notes
  • #1 LightShare is a method for altering WindLight settings on a parcel or region by means of a script. See Lightshare.
  • #2 The Parcel Windlight referred to here, is a Phoenix/Firestorm feature which lets parcel owners define a windlight setting which is to be applied to a user's viewer if the viewer supports it, and if the visitor has enabled that feature. See the Parcel WL article on the Phoenix wiki for more info.
  • #3 RealXtend requires an additional module to be active on OpenSim. See ModRex.
  • #4 Data based on Kokua-3.0.0-WIP [1], may soon be out of date!
  • #5 Only source code is provided. No precompiled binaries!
