This document provides step-by-step instructions to build a 3D heart model in Second Life. It describes how to create the different parts of the heart including the atriums, ventricles, arteries, and veins using basic shapes like spheres, tubes, and toruses. The instructions include changing object properties, positioning parts, and linking components to assemble the full heart model. Figures with screenshots support the text directions.
2. Atrium/Ventricle1) In the Build menu on the top navigation bar, select Build or Ctrl + B.2) On the pop-up window, select Create (Note: wand icon, as show in Figure 2.1).3) Select Hemisphere.Figure 2.1
3. Atrium/Ventricle4) Click on the ground with the Wand tool (Note: The hemisphere you selected now appears).5) Under the General tab, change the name to Left Atrium/Ventricle.6) Select the Object tab; change the properties according to Figure 2.2 exceptfor its position.Figure 2.2
4. Atrium/Ventricle7) Repeat steps 2 through 5 and change the hemispheres name into Right Atrium/Ventricle.BeforeAfterFigure 2.3
5. Atrium/Ventricle8) For the second hemisphere, select the Object tab and change its properties according to Figure 2.4 exceptfor its position.AfterBeforeFigure 2.4Figure 2.5
6. Atrium/VentricleAdjust the position of both the Left and Right Atrium/Ventricle to make a heart shape as shown in Figure 2.6.Hold the Shift key and left click on both Left and Right Atrium/Ventricle. Press Ctrl + L to link these two parts.Figure 2.6
7. Atrium/Ventricle11) Create a sphere and change the properties according to Figure 2.7 except for its position.AfterBeforeFigure 2.8Figure 2.7
8. Atrium/VentriclePut this separator in the middle of the heart shape as shown in Figure 2.9.Link the separator with the heart shape by holding Shift and clicking them and then press Ctrl + L.Figure 2.9
9. Atrium/Ventricle14) Create four Toruses (Note: two for Left Atrium/Ventricle, two for Right Atrium/Ventricle)
10. Atrium/Ventricle14-1) Left Atrium/Ventricle(Create two toruses and change its properties according to Figure 2.10 except for its position).Figure 2.10
14. Superior Vena CavaCreate a tube and change its Object properties according to Figure 2.14 except for its position.Figure 2.14
15. Superior Vena Cava2) Change the tubes Texture properties according to Figure 2.15.AfterBeforeFigure 2.15Figure 2.16
16. Superior Vena Cava3) Create a second tube and change its Object properties according to Figure 2.17 except for its position.Figure 2.17
17. Superior Vena Cava4) Change the second tubes Texture properties according to Figure 2.18.BeforeAfterFigure 2.18Figure 2.19
18. Superior Vena CavaPosition the two tubes to the heart as show in Figure 2.20.Link these two tubes to the heart by holding the Shift key, and left click each part and then click Ctrl + L. Figure 2.20
19. Arch of Aorta1) Create a torus and change its Object Properties according to Figure 2.21 except for its position.BeforeAfterFigure 2.22Figure 2.21
20. Arch of Aorta2) Position the torus on the heart as shown in Figure 2.23.Figure 2.23
21. Arch of Aorta3) Create another torus and change its Object properties according to Figure 2.24 except for its position.BeforeAfterFigure 2.25Figure 2.24
22. Arch of Aorta5) Position the torus to the heart as shown in Figure 2.26.Figure 2.26
23. Arch of Aorta6) Create three tubes and change its Object properties as shown in Figure 2.27. Name them as A1, A2, and A3 (Do not copy its position).Figure 2.27A1
26. Arch of AortaPosition A1, A2, and A3 as shown in Figure 2.29.Link all the parts created in Arch of Aorta to the heart by holding Shift and clicking each piece. Then, press Ctrl + L.A1A2A3
27. Pulmonary Artery1) Create a torus and change its Object properties shown in Figure 2.30. Do not change its position.BeforeFigure 2.31AfterFigure 2.30
28. Pulmonary Artery2) Create another torus; change the Object properties shown in Figure 2.32. Ignore its position.BeforeAfterFigure 2.33Figure 2.32
29. Pulmonary ArterySecondTorus3) Position the two toruses to the heart shown in Figure 2.34.4) Hold the Shift key and left click on the two toruses and the heart. Then, press Ctrl + L.FirstTorusFigure 2.34
30. Pulmonary Artery5) Change the texture of the pulmonary artery to Blank and change the color according to Figure 2.35.Figure 2.35
31. Heart Texture1) Upload the texture shown in Figure 2.36 that can be obtained from http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/avianatlas/sites/agilestaging.library.cornell.edu.avian-atlas/files/avian_atlas_assets/38a_kidney_texture%20x750.jpg into your inventory on Second Life.Figure 2.36
32. Heart Texture2) Select the heart and go to the Texture tab. Click on the box above Texture and select My Inventory> Textures and then select heartTexture.
