Computer Graphics World: “TruePlay works online to allow multiple participants to join the same 3D space. It can also be used in conjunction with trueSpace7, Caligari’s flagship real-time collaborative 3D authoring technology, to allow participants to not only view and share information, but also to create, manipulate, and edit 3D objects in real-time within the shared virtual workspace”.

If the current trend with massively parallel multiplayer online games such as Second Life, Entropia and World of War Craft continues then being able to collaborate in 3D space over the internet is going to be huge. Currently in these virtual worlds it is the programmers that rule, and often make all the money. Imagine what will happen when VFX artists start venturing in there. I’m sure there is lots of money to be made.

Adam Curry is looking for “animators, scripters and people involved in machinima” to work with him on making some cool stuff for second life. Sounds like its for money too. I heard this on Thursday’s DSC while on my way out to the final day of my Redhat course in Guilford (after I’d written the previous two paragraphs..funny how things go). Sounds interesting to me. I can think of quite a few great people who might be interested.
