Tundra 1.0 preview release out now
Antti Ilomäki
time as any to announce the latest realXtend release.
Basic info on the Tundra project can be found here:
http://realxtend.blogspot.com/2010/11/tundra-project.html
In short: it's pretty cool new technology from the realXtend team,
enabling new ways of content creation and utilization. I suggest you
also check out this short overview of what's going on under the
bonnet: http://www.realxtend.org/doxygen/tundradocumentfiles.html
The current version isn't exactly complete yet and there's not that
much user-level documentation available. We're trying to improve the
situation, but this would be a really good spot for everyone out there
to contribute; let's fill YouTube and all the blog sites with
tutorials and instructions together! The download contains some
examples you can investigate to find out how it works (on Windows you
can find them in the start menu), but feel free to ask questions on
the forums and IRC.
FAQ
Q: The viewer doesn't show any content when I start the avatar demo
and connect to it, I also seem to be getting asset reference errors.
What should I do?
A: Go to the relevant directory (for example Tundra
1.0-preview\scenes\Avatar) and right-click on the .txml file. Select
"Open Tundra viewer in this directory" and you should be good to go.
Currently the Tundra asset system can't relay asset storage info to
the viewer automatically, so we need to use this workaround.
Q: On my WinXP computer the instruction messages seem to be wrong and
some of the demos just don't work, why's that?
A: Not known yet. Only report of these errors are from a fellow with a
somewhat funky laptop and a knack for mangling software. If you bump
into any issues let us know and we'll look into it.
