ATTENTION: New Objects for Alpha World (Community)
ATTENTION: New Objects for Alpha World // Communityjust inApr 22, 2000, 11:32am
Hi all!
Two months ago TechnoZues and I, under direction from Rick Noll at AWComm created a large number of new objects for Alpha World (and worlds sharing those objects). These objects can be viewed in WWWorld 13S 19E for the objects I created and in the world Boo for those created by TechnoZues. These are on the whole basic type objects selected for versatility in building or extending from existing object sets, and include: stair corners, streets (corner, t-intersection & end), diagonal poles, doors, and modular boards and units of various sizes (by me) and panels, pp16 glass, floors, walks, and walls in new sizes both smaller and larger including some with picture command ability (by TZ). Rick has promised to add these objects as soon as convenient, but because there has been little demand he has been treating it a "low priority". Here is where you come in.... Please take some time out to visit the display sites, and providing you are in agreement, send an email directly to ENZO showing your support to have these objects added. His email address is given at the sites. Once these objects do become a reality in Alpha then we may be able to get a few more added. So for now we are not taking requests for further additions. But we may do in the future. *smile* Best wishes to all.... Just In (& TechnoZues) jetta lewisApr 23, 2000, 10:08pm
Just In, You forgot to mention one thing. It was I who gave you the Caligari
Truespace to build those objects with and the stair corners was my idea. So you got some encourgagement from Rick Noll. How many other people put up the cold hard cash to make it work? Thanks for the acknowledgement. Jetta. [View Quote] just inApr 24, 2000, 3:07am
I answered this direct to Jetta folks.
To clear things up I am very greatful to Jetta Lewis who has sponsored me on to the next step of object modelling by funding my purchase of TrueSpace in return for services. This thankyou is totally unrelated to the new objects for Alpha. Regarding the objects put up to AWComm, all of them were created directly in notepad. Truespace was not used for these because a lot of them are extensions to existing objects which had to match the rwx source code. In particular, the stairs, poles and street objects had to match existing objects for surface settings (lights and shadow), color, texture, and texture mapping. This would have been difficult to do in Truespace. The ideas for each of the various objects came from many sources plus my own ideas. Thanks to all those that provided the ideas.

That diagonal pole is something I've been wanting since the start of AW!! Need something to make the chains for my drawbridge <hehe> Thanks a ton Just In and TZ! Hope Rick adds them soon.
