Hi Chris can I donate any avatars made by seamless?
Yes please, I like the look of the images I have seen. You state here:
http://www.planet-earth.org/sg07/SMAM07.html "creating avatars using all open source tools, starting with Avatar Studio 1." Avatar studio is free but to my understanding it is NOT open source software (OSS). If anyone knows of the source and the OSS license for it please point me to it.
ok, my mistake, sorry. I'll fix that. Some time in the future I will make a simplified specialised interface for
making avatars utilising seamless functionality behind the scenes that will be as simple as avatar studio to make avatars (settings for proportions, mix and match, simple specialised UI for animation) and it will be free OSS but in the meantime seamless how it currently is, is about the only free open source program I am ware of that has examples of vrml/x3d avatars made by it that has any chance of competing with the second life avatars.
great I'm gonna have a play with it, been meaning to for a while It also offers a lot more creative freedom than avatar studio of course.
If anyone knows of another OSS program that can show examples of avs made for VRML/X3D please show the url. Perhaps Blender?
I think it can export to vrml, not sure about x3d. Also not sure if it would export in terns of avatars, cheers, chris. best wishes

Siggraph Mass Avatar Mash (SMAM) 2Do Updated 10 May 07 Here are the various task areas I would like help with, for the rest of May at least. For more information pls look at the online "blat": http://www.planet-earth.org/sg07/SMAM07.html. Tasking 1. May 1.1Find/allocate servers for prototypingprovide server resources look for sponsors - I'm getting some ppl saying they might sponsor. 1.2 Collect together a set of public avatars to use and test them (we want to ensure there are no scripts that would bog a client down and they all basically work). collect and test avatars. We want good looking/interesting ones but not too heavy on scripting/processor. May want someone who can vet avatars during the event too, as some ppl may want to use ones they created for the event at the last minute. 1.3 Work out a simple protocol for streaming avatar movements over tcp/ip or udp (or both). analyse protocol proposals, test existing protocol code, suggest what else needs to be done. 1.4 Choose one or more server software components to test client-server comms and server-server comms.looking for tcp/ip and udp software for this. 1.5 Choose some client software to run tests on. This may not be a big issue as there should be multiple clients to choose from. But someone might want to periodically run tests and let us know which ones work best, look best etc. 1.6 Run server-server tests and client-server tests. do some server prototyping. 1.7 Analysis, planning next month.1.8 Organise booth(s) at siggraph show floor. My company (Systemic) is putting some money in, what about yours? I'm doing this with Rita atm. 1.9 UI for login and avatar selection.Prepare simple online page for logging in and selecting avatar then loading world. The login part does not have to be secure and maybe we can even do without it? It will have to communicate the entry of another avatar into the world to a server program - it may not have to be on the same host 1.10 Client side designFor those who wan to help here, pls check out what is on the blat then see what you can come up with. -- http://www.planet-earth.org http://ping.com.au http://systemic.com.au http://planet-earth.org/Rez/RezIndex.html -- It be a great secret: there be more truth at the centre.
