In the weeks / months ahead, there are tons of free unrestricted resources we could all add to this forum section and I hope we all join in that effort.

As for me I will upload zipped versions of all my shared space scenes (well over 20) which we met in together back in 2007 at the Caligari shared space Servers, as well as the truePlace Desktop Prototype (which I will have to update scriptwise for the new 7.61 coding) and many scripted objects of particular use and value in your own interactive scenes and projects, whether they be used online or offline or both is up to you!

I will also provide links to the downloads of others which were placed at the Caligari Forum and are vital to future shared space development here for us all.

Be sure and download them soon though, the Caligari Forum as you know will vanish any day now along with those linked downloads.

Great days these.... we are on the brink together of the best development days this Community ever had!

OK folks.... here come a slew of zipped shared space scenes which were made back in 2007. Most are by me, one is by Dele (the Size-O-Matic Machines) for shrinking down and then growing up avatars in shared space.

Disclaimer: As always, some scripts will need tweaking for 7.61, also beware of entry point cameras, my suggestion is open these in 7.61, DELETE any entry point camera and then save the scene overwriting the original file, otherwise you may forget sometime and accidentally drag one of these scenes into shared space and inadvertantly add a second entry point cam, and I have no idea what effect that may have on your online scene.

OK, let the zips begin!

First the Size-O-Matic created entirely by Dele (who I wish was around these days)

Now a slew of scenes I put together in 2007:

(this is just the start, I have MANY MORE, and these will require many posts here)

Boolean Room (This one you must go inside in FPN to appreciate): DuskWorld (the prettiest scene I ever placed in shared space) Island World (a pacific island kinda thing, sunny and way nice, oh, and the waves are a hacked version of SteveBe's WavePool, they are animated displacement and surface texture scripted!)

Meeting Tree (a monolithic tree with teleporter up and wild texturing) Sea Lab (an underwater meetingplace.... gotta explore this one!) Stonehenge (oh yeah... this is one of my favorites!)

Volcano Meet (a meetingplace inside a giant volcano with scripted lava inside!) Ice Cave (this should be a treat, none of you have ever seen this one!) 3DVDAvatarShip ( a scene with a ship and landing platform intended for script testing on avatar transport... we did in fact get this working at one point, collision was an issue but we had a trick to overcome it. Not sure if this is the scripted versionm but it will require new scripting either way.)
and that's it for today's treats! Enjoy!

Awesome 3dVisuals Dude! Will try these out tonight!

Can you tell me/us some of the limitations of shared space for like file size, polygon count etc.?

Just 5 mega scenes/objects.

We need to bring the shark into the underwater scene. I think clinton made some flocking scripts; make some
low poly fish, add them to the flock script, and we have a nice aquarium scene. Hm...
Johnny Quest...

So 5 mb max? What happens when they are larger then that? I guess larger scenes are more for download and view or send file via CD/DVD/BlueRay.

ok, we have cross-posting on the scene size limitations issues, so I will address that in another thread here where it is more on-topic.

Suffice it to say here though, the only limitations we have are those we embrace, we can beat any limitations together.

sorry about that; you're right; just pumped about this.

Yes!

As you know we had flocking (and homing) insects and sharks before in shared space and we can do it again, all that code was saved. I wish Gordon and Dele were still with us on all this, I deeply do, and not just to harvest their code, but far more importantly to share together the genuine collaboration on shared space development which until now was actually hindered by corporate objectives, but we are free now and the sky is the limit on our collaborative capabilities.

I would also like to see that underwater scene get the things it had scheduled.... the mini-sub with robotic claw arms for underwater games and challenges, as well as the schooling fish. We were close to making that happen, and we can get it done together once we get past the realistic avatar deployment and the avatar animation (new custom gestures) tools and pipeline which is truly needed to make trueServe viable businesswise.

Great days these!

oh hey no biggie, just trying to keep all our oranges and apples in different threads, lol!
