Thread: [Ogoglio-developers] avatars

I'm moving forward with the new avatar system, and it's finally
starting to look a bit better.

I've added the ability to add a template as an attachment, which means
that we can now have items like hair and custom skins.

I've also committed two new avatars, Joe and Jane, and accompanying
attachments.  These assets were created under contract by our
excellent freelance 3D guy, Sergio: http://www.droffset.com/  He's now
the resident expert on creating bodies for Ogoglio so if you have
special needs I recommend his work.

Transmutable released Joe and Jane under a creative commons license so
that other projects can get started with reasonable avatars.

Trevor, could you send a link to a description of "how to" so that not 
only Transmutable could make/customizer avatars but also Ogoglio fans ?

Thanks :-)

The best way to understand the Ogoglio platform is to look at the many
included examples.  The server code has a test suite demonstrating the
APIs.  The web UI includes a full javascript library and example UI
for every piece of functionality.  The example object templates
include geometry, textures, and scripts.  The two avatars have
geometry, skins, attachments, and a maven build system which
demonstrates how to put them together and deploy them.

Use the source, Luke.

Perhaps some day O'Reilly will pay someone to write a book about
Ogoglio, but in the mean time what exists now is the result of someone
rolling up their sleeves and giving back to the community.  Feel free
to become one of those people!
