The News page now details news from 30 Days in ActiveWorlds II. News from
the first phase of 30 Days is available from our News Archive,
providing detailed animations and maps of the world.
As anticipated there was been
a slow start to user modelling in phase II of 30 Days. However, 30 Days is pleased to
announce that the first model submitted by a user is available for viewing in the world. A
range of newly designed park benches and a love seat were submitted via email by Betty B
(pictured right). Betty used the freeware Modeller package, details are available on the Modelling page. Her first
impressions on modelling have been favourable stating that she 'likes modeller, and
never thought it would be so great to use it and so much fun to see the result'.
The Blue Bench is not however on general release due to a high polygon count. As soon as
an updated version is available it will be released for general use.
Building in the world continues, with over 34,000 objects now placed. The
latest map is illustrated below.
It is notable that although building is still steady in the world, 30 Days is
become increasingly social. For example, a number of users took part in a 'Butch Day'
organised by Stick, where all users had to use the Butch Avatar (pictured right).
More details on how to model and upload objects into the world are available on the Modelling page.
