Shop N Fly

Shop N Fly is a white-label product for Second Life event managers who want to add full-feature HUD with full resolution image downloading to their events using a submission system that works entirely within Second Life.

We offload most of the work required to:
  1. Organize and send a HUD according to your sorting categories and client submissions order.
  2. Download all of the thumbnails and images for distribution on platforms like Flickr.
  3. Produce an event notecard listing the ads, landmark links, notecard and object links. (coming soon)

For each event, you get a Google Drive ZIP containing:
  1. The Notecard that drives the HUD (provided as a text document, simply copy and paste.)
  2. Each of the index images (upload to Second Life, then drop into the HUD with the notecard).
  3. Full images export of event for alphabetical sorting on platforms like Flickr.
  4. Coming Soon: A notecard with embedded textures, landmarks, notecards and objects for group notice distribution.
  5. Coming Soon: Use a single HUD for recurring events that is refreshed to get the latest event.

Shop N Fly - HUD Features

Four editable size modes (Small Thumbnail, Texture Only (no controls), Normal Size, Maximized Size)
  • Texture-Only makes it easy to see what you're looking for when seeking a specific item.

Supports up to 10 fully custom sorting and/or pricing categories.  Examples:
  • Gold, Silver, or Bronze sponsorship
  • Women's, Men's, Home, Outdoor, Animations, Misc

Comes with a powerful 16-image pageable index.

Other Key Features:

  • Built-in teleporting to the store or location
  • Optional notecard distribution; to provide information about a product.
  • Optional object distribution; to distribute demos directly to the HUD.
  • add-on "Pointer" (video demo; from 2018). This was a capability added to make navigation at the The Chapter Four event easier.  Dropping into mouse-look mode the pointer identifies the exact spot of the booth.
  • It's possible to specify a "thumbnail" image for the index, that is different than the advertisement.
    • For example, useful for event organizers or vendors who wish to display client logos, in the index instead.
