Mineworlds: From Minecraft to VRML

 

My pupils are finishing their multimedia projects, and some of them chose minecraft. I've started to test their worlds in VRML, and posted the results to sketchfab (because, well, it's very in alpha... upon completion, they'll be published here in Babel). It's pretty amazing what kids create in this game! Pictured is one of their worlds.

 

Update: changed some models in sketchfab...

Moon Films (beta 2)

It's a new year resolution of sorts... i'm revamping Moon Films, my world about sci fi cinema and the moon. It's a good excuse to practice vrml skill, test new ideas (playing with light sources, for example) and model cool spaceships. And space bases. And some sci fi interior design... later. Have fun!

Moon Films (beta)

Testing Vítor Cardoso's (vcard) ingenious solution to display web video in a virtual world, i'm building the Moon Films world - around the idea of space exploration in classic sci-fi cinema (and a good excuse to model fun stuff). It's in beta - more models and films will be added soon, as well as some information regarding the fictional vehicles in the broader context of space exploration. And some surprises, cool stuff and testing of interaction ideas. I'm open to tips, suggestions and new ideas. Visit here: Moon Films. And if gremlins do strike and things do not display correctly, drop me a line!

Mouse interaction in Unity

Simple mouse interaction is useful but some basic interactions like point, click, grab, ... are not available in Unity out of the box.

This test shows some basic interaction and uses.

Notice that mouse icon changes accordingly:

  1. Point and click on objects to show content or open external links (you need to authorize on browsers that block pop-ups)
  2. Point and click on interface buttons to show content/open links
  3. Point/Grab objects to move them
  4. Control camera distance to Avatar with mouse wheel.  This is also an easy way to have both 3rd Person and 1st Person view.
  5. Lifting the avatar over the scene is an interesting use of the grab feature (see Lifting Avatar)

A temporary bug in Unity's current WebGL export prevents mouse image change (it did work fine in previous versions) so we had to force the change by software. That is why, until the bug is corrected, the standard pointer is seen over the mouse image.

DEMO: http://odisseia.babelx3d.net/unity3d/Mouse_interactions/index.html   (Beware! Don't let the ball fall off the scene platform!)

None of the standard Unity scripts where modified. All the functionality is achieved by additional scripts. Tutorial info and project sources will be released as soon as possible.

Enjoy the demo and imagine your own uses for mouse interaction!
