Been playing around with the new Physics nodes in BS Contact, not a fun task. There is little to no documention, well none I could find. The examples are good but still leave a lot of guess work, hence the experiments I had to do. Mostly been trying to make items move, as you would from an Interpolator, but using applied forces to start/stop movement. I was good with physics at school, but I expect others might struggle with this even more. Continue

New version of the Hiperia Valley with streamedmusic from Jamendo

As these days in Revemonde there's the celebration of Retrouvailles 2009, I have published a new version of the Valley that you can visit if you want here: http://virtualworld.atspace.org/new_version/acceso/contact.htm The new version does not use midis anymore. Most people hate them and find the sound of midis irritating, so I have modified the Jukebox. There's a right frame that will load a Jamendo p… Continue

Google Sketchup as a VRML authoring tool

About a month ago I friend of mine hooked me up with a copy of his Sketchup Pro that he uses at this digital media school he attends to. Anyway, I have been playing around with this Sketchup Pro 3D editor, and I must say that compared to other high end editors out there, this one got to be the most easiest one to work with! Well, to get to the point here, of the several 3D formats that Sketchup Pro outputs to, VRML is one of them. So to demonstrate what can be done in Sketchup Pro with VRML, I d… Continue

Beginning

I am quite new to this. I'm a k-12 arts teacher who uses 3d tools with pupils. For my master's thesis my tutor suggested work in vrml, wich i'm loving. Mixes the fun from modelling and creating 3D images with the joy of creating and exploring worlds. Some of my incipient worlds: Museum a visual arts museum, not quite ready yet.… Continue

I am back!...with a little something to show....

Yea, it's been a few months since I have trolled or posted anything on WBandD. Just been too busy with my day jobs and a few other time hogging problems, but I least I made the effort to drop by again. I must say there's been a lot of cool stuff posted in WBandD on my absence, some of which is way, way beyond my web3d work skills, he, he! Also, I will try to see if I drop by my favorite platform, ABnet and see what Rick and vcard are up to. Anyway, on my little time off I managed to have on the… Continue

A bit about me!

Hi I am in my 4th year of Degree Digital Innovations and have majored 3D modelling and programming, This semester I am doing a course Innovation in Interactivity and Social Networks and my Professor has said I could do a VRML community website, so it has been a while since I have played with VRML combined with community software like Java and Blaxxun and it looks like Bitmanagement has taken over the scene, all the old Blaxxun documentation sites appear to be down! It is starting to look like I… Continue

Thyme's walkthrough

Hello all, Recently Thyme was gracious enough to send me a few walk-throughs, laying out the process of importing a mesh into seamless3D, converting it to smls format, adding the bone structure for animation, animating the mesh and then the exporting to either setbyVertexTransform method or Hanim method. I arranged his pictures and steps to accomplishing this is html format and thought I would share it with anyone interested in learning this process themselves. Below is a link to the tutori… Continue

Important bug fix for 2.155

2.154 had a bug that could cause the OpenNetFile control panel to fail to open. I have Fixed the bug for 2.155 which is now ready for download. It was not a minor bug recently added, but an old low level bug brought to the surface. I am now very hopeful this bug was behind the crashes that could occur after resizing a 2d window and who knows what else. Continue

Shared TouchSensor Events, ColorEffect Animation, CopyPart transform & landOffset for 2.154

Open source Seamless3d 2.154 modeller and server is now ready for download It has significant new features and bug fixes. All TouchSensor's that have a name are now automatically shared in seamless chat. Since 90% of the time when a blaxxun world builder would want shared events all they really needed them for was for TouchSensors and the only way to do this was to add protos and instances of the protos and extra routes to and from the server, seaml… Continue

A very interesting letter...

I am not sure how long ago this was written but when I came across this on the net I had to chuckle a bit. I have to admit that i share in Justin's views on this matter and although it doesn't help any of us in the here and now it is nice to see one of the VRML heavywieghts chime in on this matter. Below is the url to the letter written by Justin Couch. Justin's Goodbye letter to the VRML community Continue

website downtime.

For those who have noticed, yes my website is down at the moment. Main problem is the domain, I don't have the passwords to shift it to another webserver at the moment. When that is fixed I'll point it to a working server. Might take a week to fix it all. In the meantime I'll see about making some new content, the odd new tutorial or something. Continue

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)
