Welcomes

I have a chat set up as part of my nonprofit wildlife conservation efforts.

It links from the National Wildlife Humane Society and our Ning community as a chat for members. It has Bedrick's Rainforest, a cavern, a couple lowlevel sky worlds and a sea world.

I always desire to get owner permissions, and just now was finally able to contact the owner of the undersea world I am using. He doesn't want us to use it so I am removing it from the chain.

If anyone knows of a decent vrml underwater world I can serve, and keep in the chain of chats, I would be deeply grateful. There is no money money involved in that chats, and are just being used as conservation outreach by NWHS.

Thanks,
Patrick "Catman" Webb

LOL Alain. Not sure that conveys a wildlife theme ;)
Cool animation though.

This is the Rainforest Bedrick has permissioned me to use.

I would eventually like to get the elevators working and actually go down and change worlds.

This is the world I have to replace, that I was hoping to use as a SeaZone
http://catman1.com/seazone/contact.htm

The builder would prefer NWHS and wildlife1.com not use it, so I am seeking replacement.
As you can see, it conveys the concept of underwater habitat and has some fish and a couple sharks swimming about. Had I been able to get proper permissions I wanted to add more fish and some seafloor plants.

I feel obligated to get it replaced and/or just removed as soon as possible now, to comply with the builder's wishes.

Ahh yes, that's an awesome world. I have chatted there many times.

I will check with Skippy, maybe he would consider busting it out of a seaquarium, and making it the ocean with everything swimming wild and free :)

I will enquire.

ParallelGraphics starts beta-testing of Cortona3D Viewer 6.0 Beta (previously known as Cortona VRML Client) and invites participants to take part in the beta testing program. Cortona3D Viewer is a fast and highly interactive VRML viewer that is ideal for viewing 3D models on the Web. It works as a VRML plug-in for popular Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome.

Cortona3D Viewer v. 6.0 Beta: What’s new

Unicode support

Cortona3D Viewer 6.0 provides full support for UTF-8 in VRML.

Localization of the user interface

Now the menus of Cortona3D Viewer can be easily translated into other languages by licensed users.

Latest Web browsers support

Cortona3D Viewer now supports Mozilla Firefox v. 3.0 and Google Chrome.

Phong lighting support

The support for Phong lighting model is provided for graphical cards supporting the shader model v. 3.0 and higher. Limited support for the shader model v. 2.x is also provided.

Improved performance: new DirectX renderer

- Support for real-time anti-aliasing (multisampling).
- Support idle-time anti-aliasing by means of Direct3D.
- Support for composite textures.
- Improved processing of textures and 3D primitives.

Improved installation procedure

The use of Microsoft Installer (MSI) allows for easier installation of Cortona3D Viewer within an enterprise and as a part of third party applications.

New VRML extensions

- The Transform2DEx node allows for positioning layers on the screen and specifying their size in pixels.
- The CompositeTexture3D and CompositeTexture2D nodes allow for adding composite textures to the 3D scene.
- The GradientBackground node allows for creating horizontal or vertical gradient background that is static relatively to the camera movements.

Changes in VRML Automation interface

- Pick method has been changed:
Layers without background: areas with no geometry are considered transparent for the picker.
One-sided surfaces: invisible side is ignored by picker.
Double-sided surfaces: the normal calculation is based on a visible side of the surface.
- New method of geometry bounding box calculation:
§ Now the bounding box can be calculated in global coordinates.


The FreeWRL team have put FreeWRL 1.21.2 on-line, with source, debian (.deb) and Apple OSX dmg downloads.

http://freewrl.sourceforge.net

Summary of changes:
- Verified MIME types for OSX and Linux plugins.

- Classic VRML/X3D parser:
- fixed memory error when IS fields were large.
- dramatic speed improvement in PROTO expansions; visible when large protos are
instantiated.

- XML parser:
- speed increase in parsing attribute values (one test shows 100x speed increase)
- PROTO expansion and Script invocation being reworked - may still have parse errors.
(in progress)

- Source Code:
- OpenGL Shaders code should compile on OpenGL 1.5 and above now (was 2.0 and above)
- CFuncs/sounds.h - include unistd.h on Linux machines.

- Misc rendering changes:

- Javascript, direct writing to scenegraph, boolean values were not correctly translated from
javascript to freewrl internal values.

- FaceSets with Color node, not taking material properties correctly (especially transparency)

- FaceSets, with RGB Color node, keep track of associated material transparency, and work through
color node changes.

- removal of temporary files - code has been reworked, as some temporary files (specific:
files retrieved by wget or curl) were not removed.

- initial work on CubeMapTextures.

- GeoPositionInterpolator - output value not translated to local spatial units. (fixed)
