Script Developers Meeting - Tuesday November 27th
We have held this Tuesday shared space Meeting together before now inside:
1) an abandoned outdoor night time alien world complete with a pool and a huge animated vertex expanding universe light show
2) a sunny alien treehouse with a teleporter and a long thin glass bridge connecting it to a distant hight tower
3) animated intelligent shark infested waters (this shark is getting smarter all the time too)
4) a shared space jaccuzzi (good clean avatar fun) always good for a few laughs
5) the calix of an orchid the size of Mount Everest (which turned out to be a great high diving platform)
6) an underwater laboratory (this was fun and pretty but is also being enhanced some more now)
7) an absolutely enormous interactive deep space flying saucer and docking platform (this was impressive and very interesting indeed)
Now, in keeping with what has become our Tuesday Night tradition of bringing you an interesting new and unique shared space meeting environment every week, I am preparing something very special for us all again.
8) This Tuesday night we will begin the Meeting with a brand new portal scene at 6:00PM sharp Caligari time... we will all be meeting this time inside an Active Volcano World.:D
There will be unusual places to explore and unusual things to discover there when you do, so by all means be sure to make it to this Meeting, there may never be another like it again.;)
As always, anything you'd like to discuss or share there with us all is most welcome, and even if you have very little or no understanding of trueSpace Scripting, Shared Space Development, or Immersive 3D Desktop Development, drop by anyway... it's always an interesting and fun experience and each of us, including you, make it so every time.
I hope to see you all there for this one, it will definitely be interesting and fun.
Thanks.

Directions:
Directions for those WITH an existing truePlace password:
Option 1:
Go to the following web page and look for the "Scripting Live!" links for either truePlay or trueSpace then click the one you wish to use.
http://www.caligari.com/birdsofafeather.asp (http://www.caligari.com/birdsofafeather.asp)
Option 2:
Download the scripted objects which I created (in the following forum posts) and click them to be taken there.
For trueSpace 7.51, 7.5, and the TS Demo:
I created a new object for trueSpace7.5x users who are either unfamiliar with setting the Network Server and Portal Settings (the Demo users for instance) or are like me and just get tired of doing it manually when you are in a rush.
Just load this puppy into Workspace or any scene and then click on it, it will automatically (and harmlessly) reset your current Network Server and Portal Settings (which you can do yourself manually anytime if you wish) to match "The Scriptorium" where our Meetings are held, and it will bring up the standard Shared Space "Login" Dialog to connect you right to us.

For truePlay Users:
for truePlay users - go to the following thread and download the scripted scene there then load it in truePlay and click on the green book inside the scene.

Directions for those WITHOUT an existing truePlace password:
(1) Getting a Password and Username to enter truePlaces:
(Our Tuesday Night Meeting is held inside a truePlace Portal (#1212) and you will need both a Password and Username to enter there which is different from your Caligari Customer Password and Username. Also be sure to get your truePlace Password and Username during Caligari business hours well before the meeting begins)

(2) Instruction Page on Port Address Settings in trueSpace 7.5x:
(Note that the following instructions show you how to set the portal entry point in trueSpace to the truePlace Meetingroom (tpportal 1111) where once you arrive you will find an easel with an image on it which says "click here to enter the Scriptorium," and one you click on that image you will be instantly transported to the actual Script Developers Meeting held in tpportal 1212)

(3) truePlace "Scripting Live1" Page: (with countdown timer in PST):
(This is the Caligari Countdown Timer and Info Page for our Tuesday Meetings)
http://www.caligari.com/ScriptLive.asp (http://www.caligari.com/ScriptLive.asp)
(4) The "connect to shared space" icon in truSpace7.5x:
The "connect to shared space" icon in trueSpace7.5x looks like two Avatars facing each other (ie: sharing space).
When you are all set and ready to connect you just need to click the appropriate icon in trueSpace and then enter your truePlaces Username and Password into the Dialog Box which will then pop up, then hit the "connect" button on the Dialog Box.
See you there folks! |

Man what a wild night this was!
There were some tremendous new developments at this meeting we'll all be talking about for a long time to come.
Thanks to all of you who dropped in, that was one very large gathering there for sure and a lot of fun!
In the following thread you'll see a few screengrabs and maybe some more tomorrow from all the folks who were there, and there is also a brief movie there from SteveBe of the new intelligent attacking and swarming shared space insects... although 7 hours into the meeting they were a whole lot more intelligent and swarmed in formation as they attacked! LOL!:D

Seeing is believing, so here's a link to a post with a brief movie made last night by SteveBe of this new Artificial Intelligence Scripting applied to giant avatar chasing flying insects in shared space! Hahaha!:D

The wings can be procedurally animated, so when the bug moves forward, the wings bat up and down. |
