TravelTime Beta available, as well as demo reel

[Daniel Smith-2]

Greetings,

Last month I announced TravelTime, a prim animation tool.

The gist of it is that make a series of points for a prim to visit, and control a lot of aspects of what happens at each point:

* time/position/scaling/rotation
* textures, including control of per-face, alpha, offsets, rotation, and repeats
* particles
* rez objects

A video will help:

As well as a SLURL to the store:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cybrary%20City%20II/96/153/23

One use case is pretty simple: slideshows.. it can be as basic as an in-place show, or one
that moves and changes rotation/scaling...  Add in the ideas of controlling time at each
point, particles, and rezzable objects (e.g. temporary lights), and you start to get the gist :)

There are extensive menus, as well as chat commands to handle every aspect.

The beta is free.  It will be a commercial product (this one was hard!), but I will consider edu deals
on a case by case basis.

I anticipate the 1.0 version out by Thanksgiving.

Gosh, there's so much good stuff coming out at the moment. :)

 

I haven't had a proper chance to play but my first observation would be that your avatar can sit on the prim and move with it. Doesn't that make it a tourbot as well?

That's correct.  I dont (yet) support echoing out text at each point.. but.. hmm.. you could rez a prim at whatever spot that whispers some text and then deletes itself.

I have done a few tourbot experiments with trial versions of
TravelTime.  Yes, it does work well for that purpose. You can sit on
the prim, move with it from point to point, and receive a notecard
(object, whatever) at that point. As I have time, I want to see if I
can put together a tour balloon that would carry a few people and do
different things at each stop. Might be kinda fun.

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

I'm getting them but decided not to comment as (i) I'd said enough for today, (ii) the timings are sadly not very Euro-friendly. It is also my experience, however, that the list has a tendency to ban addresses, mine included, on a regular basis for excessive bounces. Normally there is a warning email that allows instant reactivation.

 

That said, that's a great list you have and I'm sure many will appreciate it. It did strike me that it's a pity we don't aggregate such talks in a more useful fashion. I'm aware of the SLED Calendar but that's mainly for educators and this should interest students and the wider public too. Likewise there's a number of groups on Eventful but nothing quite hits the mark. Anyone know of another list?

 

Incidentally, you can always check for your posts on the archive of this list (see http://bit.ly/listfaq for URL).

 

Peter
