These are all good questions. I'll try to take a stab at it, although Trevor has been doing most of the avatar-related stuff on Transmutable. 1) I believe we can handle pretty much anything in OBJ format, provided it stays under our limit in terms of total file size. I believe that the system currently imposes a 1 megabyte limit on OBJ files. Once you get your avatar model done (see #2) then we should talk about how to insure that your server exports them properly so that web browsers will see them. There is also some work to do if you would like to have the animations (which are BVH form) work properly with your avatar. I'd say first get the modeling done (the hard part!) and then the rest you can copy from our examples. 2) Ogoglio will be getting some new avatars in the next couple of weeks. Early pictures of "joe" the male avatar are already available: http://blog.transmutable.com/2008/01/hey-joe.html These will be CC licensed, so it should not be too onerous to use. 3) We currently have no "built-in" story for how to do sound in a space. This has to be done by other web-based means at the moment. We have experimented successfully with getting audio streams played into a space, but this is not generally available. If you have ideas of web-based systems that can support this type of functionality, please let us know. hope this helps ian Michel DENIS wrote: > > Hi! > > I would like to ask 3 questions: > > - I have started to make models with the very user-friendly Google > Sketchup -- do you have any best practices or recommendations for > importing Google Sketchup models (exported in OBJ format) into Ogoglio ? > > - The set of Ogoglio avatars is pretty limited today -- I'd like to > create more of them-- do you have guidelines/tricks/sources for us > making additional ones ? > > - "Spatial sound": what's the best way to get "spatial sound" in an > Ogoglio space/world, ie sound whose volume depends on distance from > sources (I guess one would need to javascript something or so) ? > > Thanks in advance ! > -michel > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
