Beyond Building
Building in Activeworlds 3D virtual reality.
About this blog and its purpose
There are many things to do in Activeworlds virtual reality environment. I've chosen my way. It is a way of a builder. There are also many ways to build. My way is to create a virtual town.
The town is Horizon City. It was established January 2000 and it quickly became one of the most popular cities back then, with hundreds of builders. Besides that the town serves as historic reminder of how things were at Activeworlds, it is still constantly developing virtual experience, displaying latest features and architectural possibilities.
In this blog I will keep track how the things are going in Horizon City and in Activeworlds community.Tuesday, May 24, 2016
Minor Revelations
Because the area is still quite a mess and not many have seen it yet. The area is currently made with full sheared landscape and it has currently a size of a P-30 world. I already tried making sheared terrain some years ago, but this time it's much better. The name and location will be announced later.

The other revelation under this posts topic can be found at AWPortals. Since it is getting into serious community portal once again and registered people can maintain their own profile there, I took an opportunity to reveal something of my RL status too.

After Hiatus
After almost a year, I am back now with my citizenship renewed and I'm going to start to create those builds in ActiveWorlds environment once again. There's more to come and many projects still waiting. I'll try to keep this blog updated too.

Missing Mauz
Today, a sad and unexpected news was announced. One of my long time AW friends, Mauz has passed. Many will miss her.
In Activeworlds Universe, the welcome message was updated to display the news:
It is with great great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mauz, one of our first users and most dedicated person to the AW community. Mauz was a huge source of inspiration and made enormous contributions to ActiveWorlds. May she rest in peace and may we all spend this weekend remembering her passing. All Bingo games have been canceled until further notice.

Snowy End of 2010
While there are another set of new features for AW users I haven't played with them much yet. Instead I made winter updates in the city ground zero. Eventually, the virtual snow will melt and I'll learn the new features. They integrated nVidia PhysX physics engine to AW Browser, allowing new object types such as Cloth.
Happy New Year!

They're Coming
I have some expired citizenships in my pocket as well. Today I logged in with old AWTA citizenship and updated some textures of a building in Horizon City.
