Recent advances include integration of an
advanced real-time 3D graphics engine—Wild
Magic. Wild Magic is an open source rendering
engine developed by Geometric Tools, LLC and
version 4.8 enables the display of superior
graphics in addition to a number of visual qualities
such as reflections, water effects, volume fog,
lighting, complex shaders and alpha channel
transparency, to name a few.
The Worlds player and the graphic engine, Wild
Granny 3D offers a uniquely powerful character
animation system. Many of the benefits of these
next generation avatars are available now or soon
to World’s members:
Advanced Shaders
Layered Geometry
Normal Mapping
Ragdoll Physics
LOD Scalability—animations/textures
Complex, Efficient Animation Shared State–The Worlds player enables shared state for mesh objects. Shared state allows other users to see dynamic changes to objects that have this property activated so that when a ball is ‘kicked’ all users present will see this action. This feature creats opportunity for enhanced social interaction and game play.
Inventory– Inventory allows users to trade items or be ‘awarded’ items and provides the foundation for the installation of an ‘in Worlds’ currency. Currency and tradable items will make unique features available to Worlds Members such as special/hidden rooms, videos and music.
