Unity Indie Now Free: Make Games And Virtual Worlds
|
The package that was called Unity Indie and now is called simply "Unity" will be free for developers of virtual worlds and games that generate less than $100,000 a year.
In their License page they say:
"Companies or incorporated entities that had a turnover in excess of US$100,000 in their last fiscal year must use Unity Pro."
Unity is a set of browser plugin (very small, 3 mb), and toolkit to make games and virtual worlds.
For modelers, Unity can read .FBX, .dae (Collada), .3DS, .dxf and .obj files.
This news appeared on this past 28th on Virtual Worlds News, and is now live. You can go to Unity's site and download your copy of Unity and start developing virtual worlds and games with it for free.
Unity was used in the development of Nurien as explained here.
3DTotal Announces its new FREE Texture And Reference Image Library
|
3DTotal would just announced today their brand new Texture and Reference Image Library – a fantastic FREE archive of high-resolution images featuring 12,500 royalty free photos currently available to everyone without any download limitations.
Example photo
Here’s what you can do:
- Use any images royalty free within the following work definitions, either private or commercial: video games, printed media, movies, animations, websites, presentations, e-books, e-zines, advertising media, digital media – providing the images are embedded and cannot be easily extracted, so as not to be classified as re-distributing.
- Sell textures when bundled with a 3D model, as long as the texture has been significantly modified to map to that model only.
But you can't sell, redistribute or bundle the images in any way (apart from modifying and bundling with a 3D model).
The library is currently in beta version. Express your feedback about this brand new feature, and let them know your thoughts about this free service: Please use this forum thread to post your feedback.

DAZ Considers Licensing For 3D Games And Virtual Worlds
|
DAZ3D may offer a new service called DAZ Links: the huge catalog of 3D models from DAZ site may be available to be purchased for 3D games and virtual worlds.
In this moment, DAZ's content is licensed only for 2D works, render works and art in 2D, but not for real time 3D like games and virtual worlds. But DAZ may change this in a near future and offer licensing for these.
3D Modelers that sell in their marketplace may be benefited from this by getting higher revenue.
The reasons for this are announced in DAZ's forum:
"Recognized as a premier provider of 3D tools, figures and content, DAZ 3D has frequently been contacted by game developers looking to use DAZ 3D assets in their games and virtual worlds. Current licensing (EULA) limits the use of DAZ 3D content. An examination of the issues surrounding this topic including licensing and compatibility raises a number of additional questions. DAZ 3D would like to solicit input from members of the community who are in game development."

This video gives you hints about this too:
DAZ3D wants the opinions of game developers and virtual worlds developers, both individuals, small companies and big businesses.
Please take a few moments to take a short survey:
http://survey.daz3d.com/index.php?sid=77755&lang=en
If you are a member of game development communities, feel free to share this survey link with those that may be interested in using DAZ 3D content in their game and virtual world projects.

Evolver Exhibits at Unite Conference
|
Aliso Viejo, CA (October 27, 2009)-Evolver, the easy-to-use web interface for building and customizing 3D character models and avatars, will be at the Unite conference being hosted by Unity Technologies, the leading provider of the multi-platform game development platform for Web, PC, Mac, Wii" and iPhone.
Unite is taking place October 27-30, at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, CA.
"The Unity platform and its community of developers are served incredibly well by Evolver's strengths, and our participation at the Unite event is most welcome," said Evolver CEO, Brian Nilles. "Evolver has taken the formerly very complex and time consuming process of 'modeling' and 'rigging' a 3D character and turned it into a process which can be done by anyone in just a few minutes. Any Evolver character can then be integrated into projects developed in the Unity game engine to help developers save significant time and production costs."
Evolver's 3D character generator launched in July and provides both professionals and consumers with the creative freedom to design and build highly customized 3d human models on the fly. The tool is entirely web based, allows users to start with assets available on the site, or a photograph to produce a version of themselves, and then automatically produces an animation ready version of the new avatar design.
For the professional, the complete custom character can be purchased
royalty free for just $39 - or $69 with 77 blend shapes ready for facial
animation.
Evolver also offers a "white label" version for developers who wish to make
Evolver their own 3D character generator available to their audience.
Users create and customize their models in a custom branded version of
Evolver, then they are delivered completely automatically using a
server-to-server delivery system.
At the Unite conference, developers, artists and publishers from around the
world will come together for a few days to learn more about Unity - a
professional solution that combines a full development platform with a 3D
game engine in an integrated software package that enables high performance 3D interactive content - and how to get the most out of it. For more information about Unite visit http://unity3d.com/unite/
Evolver is the flagship product of Darwin Dimensions Inc., the first
solution to bring together complex 3D modeling, consumer ease of use, and
fully interoperable avatars. Evolver provides a central portal to design,
manage and transport digital avatars that can be deployed in virtual
worlds, online games, social networks and professional animation and
pre-visualization projects. For more information visit www.evolver.com
3D Printing Your Spore Characters
|
In case you missed it, have a look how Shapeways Blog tells how one of their users (Eric Finley) is exporting his characters from the game Spore and tweaks them to be printed in 3D with Shapeways.

This is because Spore can export to COLLADA, a file format that Shapeways can use.
Read the article and see the video to get an idea on how was this done.

New Open Source 3D Engine For Games And Virtual Worlds
|
Syntensity develops Intensity Engine, a 3D engine for virtual worlds and 3D games of high quality. It is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.
They're in open beta, and are also looking for C++ coders and people that may help them with business development.
Their page explains:
"The Intensity Engine is the open source project that forms the basis of Syntensity, and consists of a client, server, and master (metadata) server - everything you need to run your own games or even your own virtual world."
It is written mostly in C++, with Python for high-level code and JavaScript for game logic. It is cross-platform: Windows and Linux are supported for both client and server (OS X support should arrive as soon as we find a maintainer).
The license is GNU Affero GPL 3.0 (AGPL). They say that they "do not consider your games/activities/content to be 'derivative works' of the engine", so you can license your virtual game or 3D game as you wish.
The engine accepts models in OBJ file format.

Photo-Tutorial: How To Get The Step UP! Pack
|
This is a visual guide on how to wear the orange ribbon to help the Step UP! campaign.
I was unable to get the pack in-world, so better get it at XStreet.
The easiest way is to go to XStreet, login with your Second Life name and password and then enter Second Life to take what you purchased.
Get it for free at XStreet here: tinyurl.com/ydlpely
Then, enter Second Life and you'll get a message similar to this:
Drop it, click it, and select "Open".
Inside it, you'll find text documents to read, a logo for you to use in objects as texture, and the ribbon.
In this photo, I wear it on the chest and used the orange texture of Step UP! for my shirt:

Step UP! Campaign: Help Stop Content Theft In SL
|
Step UP! is a campaign against the wholesale theft of sims and content in Second Life.
The Content Creators Association organizes a campaign in magazines, TV, Internet media and inside Second Life to stop theft of content and make people think about the value of intellectual property.
Toxic Menges has made this machinima to help the campaign:
There will be a special celebration day, that will be November 5. In that day, that will be called "Step Up! Day", no one will upload textures to the Grid.
This is to call the attention of Linden Lab on this problem and make a display of the power of content creators.
The day will end with bonfire parties all around the sims that help in the campaign. Feel free to organize your own festival or party of "Step Up! Day".
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP CONTENT CREATORS?
- If you're a blogger, blog about this, against content theft.
- If you're an artist or machinima director, create something to express the problem, to encourage people to join the campaign.
- As a land owner, place a kiosk of Step Up! propaganda and organize parties for November 5.
- As a citizen of Second Life, wear the orange ribbon as a sign of support for creators. There are also backpacks, notes, and info to distribute and give to your fiends or everyone you know.
WHERE TO GET THE ORANGE RIBBON
You can get it for free at XStreet here: tinyurl.com/ydlpely
Or in-world at: Prim Perfect Main Offices, The Primgraph Press and Designing Worlds Studio (just follow the signs from the landing point to the DW studios and you’ll find it).
HOW TO GET UPDATES
You can visit the official blog of the campaign and follow its RSS Feed. (Don't know what RSS is? Read this)
Official blog: http://stepupsl.wordpress.com/
RSS Feed: http://stepupsl.wordpress.com/feed/
There's also a community at Ning. Join it and also go to the groups tab so you can join some and use your skills or area of knowledge to help creators: http://step-up-sl.ning.com/
REMEMBER
Don't upload any texture on the next November 5. Wear the ribbon, and join the parties of that day.

Nurien Will Be Browser-Based, No Client App Download
|
Nurien Software is now getting ready for full-scale launches in key international markets.
"With no client download, amazing animation and 3D graphics, and the ability to utilize existing social networks we’ve developed enhancements that are specifically tailored for U.S. audiences.
After several years in development, we are confident that we’ve created a new, innovative and fun way for people to interact and play online here and worldwide."
- Taehoon Kim, co-founder of Nurien Software.
After several years in development, we are confident that we’ve created a new, innovative and fun way for people to interact and play online here and worldwide."
- Taehoon Kim, co-founder of Nurien Software.
Users will be able to create visually rich 3D avatars, message and chat with friends and family and upload self-created fashionable clothing items. Consumers can also utilize their avatars and items they have developed to play advanced casual games with real friends from Facebook or MySpace. Current games include MStar (a music dance game) and Runway (a fashion show application).
Advanced casual games have been a mega success story in Asia due to faster broadband connection, monolithic PC install base and PC room/Net-cafe infrastructure. One of the biggest barriers in the U.S. market is download distribution and client installation, as these games are often more than 1GB downloads and the client is heavily dependent on PC specifications.
Another barrier is that most casual gamers in the U.S. want to play with their real friends online rather than making new friends “in world.”
As part of its U.S. strategy, Nurien intends to solve these problems by making the service web browser-based with zero download utilizing the Unity 3D engine, while keeping high fidelity graphics such as NVIDIA PhysX, and keeping great game play as expected from advanced casual games.
This is a demo of NVIDIA PhysX. See the body of the monster, that has an outstanding realism:
Unity-made games can be played inside a web browser thanks to the Unity Web Player Plug-in. The plug-in download is small (about 3 MB), auto-installs without a browser restart, and already has a 8-digit distribution. It works on all modern browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and most Mozilla-based browsers.
And this is how Unity 3D looks:
Nurien is also retaining the virtual goods micro-transaction business model that has been successful in Asia and receiving rapid adoption in U.S., but adding a marketplace for user-created content that have been successful in services such as Second Life and IMVU.

Vue 7 PLE: Render And Animate 3D Landscapes For Free
|
Vue 7 PLE is a free version of Vue 7. It is called Free Personal Learning Edition because it's for non commercial use.
The Free Personal Learning Edition (PLE) is a fully functionnal version of Vue 7.5 Infinite/xStream (selection of Infinite or xStream is done during installation).
Here's a presentation video of Vue 7:
Vue is a rendering application in which you can create natural landscapes, and also import 3D models to be rendered inside these landscapes. You can also create animated films of your landscapes, but Vue is often used for renders.
You can save your work, render without size limit, and it never expires. As said, PLE is for personal, non-commercial use only, files cannot be exchanged with other PLE users and are not compatible with other versions of Vue, renders may be watermarked and carry a logo.
I must say that I tried Vue and could not make a decent and fast render. To be true, neither a slow and decent render. I have seen stunning images of renders made with Vue, so I suppose that you get the most of the application if you use the feature that it has to render a same scene using multiple computers. In that case, you can set rendering parameters to maximum. Anyway, a very powerful machine is recommended.
