It have been a busy week and I managed to make just one single and lonely tree, I wished to do more but it’s a start. To use it you have to get the bark texture from CGTextures here, get my files at the bottom of this post, and upload the mesh and the two textures in realxtend. Textures from cgtextures.comwhere used also to make the foliage.

Once uploaded in realxtend, on the building panel the first texture to apply is the bark, the second are the leaves (they come with two sizes, pick the one that suits your needs better), you will need also to scale the tree in all the 3 dimension up to 10,00.

This week I will try to devote some more time to building, making some grass and plantlife related stuff, hopefully!

Note: LINK REMOVED. I got malware warning from Google about the original source at www.nefe.it – so I removed the direct link, visit if you dare…

realXtend has provided free hosting for your avatar for some time now, but it may not be very widely known. You can host your avatar shape, clothes, textures for free at realXtend project’s servers.

Use Avatar creation tool from the realXtend client software to save your stuff there. You can then use the account to access any realXtend world. This means that your avatar will travel with you from world to world, unchanged. Note: World server admins can override your avatar – this feature is meant to preserve world theme – for example in Ants world all the avatars may need to be ants.

Service provider: realXtend

Click the picture above to download also the Jaana Avatar model – you can use it with the free account! If you want to generate your avatar from a photo, follow the instructions in the Maxping article where Sylvester Stallone avatar was created as an example.

License: Use at your own risk.

This bear was first seen in a realxtend demo video, now you can get it and hug it yourself.

First I just wondered what it is:

Then it grew and now I am a bit worried. It just looks at me, for now.

I just spent whole evening building a new avatar look. Clothing looks like the most problematic part for me, but hey, it is no different in real life… Now it is possible to export the new avatar into a gif animation. For free at Evolver! Here’s a sample what I got out of it:

Follow the white rabbit... click me!

.. and now back to make the next one!

rexxed.com offers a free service to play your MP3 files which are located somewhere on the web. Any web browser should be able to play them and you can embed the player to your web pages or blog entries.

The player is located at http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf

And it can be used to play playlist files. For example http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=metal.xspf&autoplay=true&repeat_playlist=true

Where parameters are:

playlist_url = web address to the playlist, can be for example http://yourserver.com/music/mybest.xspf

autoplay = true or false, says whether the music starts to play automatically or if it waits for the user to press play

repeat_playlist = true or false

xspf file format is really simple, take a look at how the files can be written. Here is the full documentation of the music player. Here is the article at Maxping, where you can find out how to play music with this service at your realXtend virtual world.
