Seamless3d Forum!!!

Yet another attempt at transforming Lucy’s head (which is a result of years of evolution) into a male head.
It only took a few hours to:
Slope back her forehead to reduce her ability to reason when solving problems so that she is more likely to use force.
Lengthened the face between the eyes and mouth.
Increased the eyebrow ridge and lowered it down closer to the eyes to make the head more effective at head butting.
Sunk in the upper nose ridge between the eyes.
Reduced the size of the eyes.
Made the nose bigger and straighter.
Reduced the cheek bones.
Widened the mouth
Reduced the lips.
Widened the jaw.
Thickened the neck.
Made the ears bigger.

The nurbs control cage for the smiley with a nose

I thought adding a nose and keeping it cute would be more challenging but there was nothing to it

It can be hard making a face look both realistic and cute but when beginning with a face as simple as a smiley you only have to deal with where you place the eyes and the mouth on a sphere

Wallace & Gromit Style Character made using the new upcoming features. I plan to upload the new version of Seamless3d by May

Hi Sean,
Thanks for posting an image of your good work, your comments and questions
Seamless3d began oriented around real time animation but in recent years more of my focus has been on making seamless able to take advantage of nurbs animation which is well suited for making movies in non real time but Seamless will continue to improve as a modeller for both real and non time animation. The new modelling features I have been developing for the upcoming version (I have been working on it for over a year now) will make seamless a much easier program to model with regardless of the type of animation that is targeted. A long time important feature of Seamless has been Nurbs surface poly editing (NSPE) which allows the user to optimise meshes without the need to convert everything to a mesh (nurbs control points can continue to model the shape). NSPE will be improved for the upcoming version by allowing for any vertex in the mesh to be dragged from the surface of one nurbs patch to another. Though seamless will continue to support and improve skinned animated mesh modelling, it’s worth noting that as computers get faster nurbs animation will increasingly be used for real time animation too.

You can synchronize the view to an animated model using a few simple script instructions like I did for to my hoppy in techuelife island when the view orbits the hoppy.

The text to speech used in Lucy on the catwalk used nurbs patches to create the speech which I have not had much of a chance to document yet though I spent most of 2011 developing this. The idea behind this is to allow the artist to create expressive speech by controlling the shapes but because this is more like painting an image than playing a musical instrument, it is not practical for real time speech.
Seamless3d also can utilise the built in Microsoft speech engine to synthesize words for seamless chat (in real time) but this does not offer much artistic control over the expression.

Currently the only way to move your avatar in seamless chat is to use your arrow keys (you must have the focus on the 3d window for this to work)

Many of my old tutorials will be made obsolete by the new version but the good news is the new version wont need much if any explaining to accomplish many of the things that needed to be explained in detail

I have been messing with different real time formats for years and I found Seamless pretty interesting. I like that you have plenty of tutorials. I use Blender a lot but didn't want to get too far into coding. I was on Active Worlds but was more interested in doing something unique. Is Seamless moving more towards pre rendered animation or real time? For example the Lucy animations with sythesized voice are pretty cool and I thought if Seamless did a real time text to speech with avatars that could open a ton of possibilities. I assume you put the view under the avatar in the tree to get an avatar controlled view? I know there are the gesture keys but are there typical game functions, like W for walk, J for jump, etc.? I included a view of my town made in Blender that I have messed with for years. The plan was to develop it further and have stylized avatars for it. I think what is holding back many chat sites, even Second Life is a lack of very unique worlds and avatars.

Hello corbynblade

There are a number of different ways you can convert the 3d image you see in seamless to a 2d image so that it can be saved as an image file such as a png or jpg file.

One way is to press the F12 key on your keyboard. Each time you press the F12 key, Seamless3d will save a screenshot of the 3d window to your Documents/Seamless3d/Sceenshot folder.

Another way to take a screen shot is to press the PrtSc (print screen) key on your keyboard. This copies your entire screen of your computer to the clipboard allowing for it to be pasted by a paint program such as Paint.Net (which is free) or even the humble paint program that comes with windows.

You can also make Seamless3d generate a povray file of what you see in the 3d window which can then be rendered into a 2d image file using the program Povray. Povray allows for many more options in how your scene is lit and will create shadows.

If you want to create a movie file so as to capture an animation, see www.seamless3d.com/making-movies

how can I take a pic of the figure?

WOW ! Wonderful !!! CONGRATS thyme ! hugs ;o)

Crown I made today for the badge.

Thanks Lilly hugs

CONGRATS thyme ! hugs

CONGRATS thyme ! hugs

I used only a few buttons, extrude, insert control points and select rings of points buttons, thats about it apart from tugging the points

I made this in only a few hours using the new extrude features. It would take a more experienced artist only a few minutes.

Hello Mister Thyme,
My proposal
for the best easy server of 2012 year is Seamless3d.
for the application of 2012 year is SRRT
and for new entry on famous 3d servers, is MineCraft

Congratulation.
Your game Seamless3d will be promoted by our forum.
A very good editor for him is Caligari TrueSpace3.2

With respect,

Becouse I have not visitors, only crowlers, seamless3d server is stoped. Also BSCollaborate too.
Anyway, Seamless workx. The bug was at serverurl.

See You later.
Radu

I spent some time trying to figure out the problem. I was able to load your php file in debug mode with a minor modification to seamless3d's code but I was still unable to log in to your server so i tried logging in directly using your IP address like I did the other day but not even that works now so it would seem the server is not running.
I have spent too much time on this sorry, I have other things I should be doing and I doubt this server is what you want even if we got it working for you so I can not afford to spend anymore time on this.
Best of luck

Hi

Yes, smls_server.php must exist
And at ServerURL
must be
or IP
or WebAddress with path to server

Mean
or 92.80.85.38
or http://suntonlain.no-ip.org/seamless3d-server-2.157/

Nice game.
ThankYou Thyme

I stopped checking this forum after about 2 days seeing you had not replied so I guessed you had given up.
The IP port, PHP etc is irrelevant as we both know I was able to log into the seamless3d server running from your notebook.
All we had to do was get the client load your IP address from a file on your server, that's all !

There are 3 files:
smls_server.txt with an IP
smls_server.php with ather IP
smls_server.php- with original PHP code

At me I have not in server's log this:
IP: an IP number
Name: a name of a world

But I have
Port: port number

Hi,
We are developing a cross browser 3-D and physics simulation engine. It's intended for virtual dressing as well as for general e-commerce. I am thinking about that we can perhaps do something together...

Please see- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZZIfBEbyiY

Our main strong point is, that our software is completely browser-based without any plug-ins and does not require HTML 5 or special graphic cards... It's a software accelerated engines, which includes FFD and physics simulation... It's intended for commercial use. We also have a cloud-based advanced dynamic data structure

Our software relies on the following technology:

A basic 3-D rendering engine, which can take many different input; (currently, we are accepting.OBJ and Json and we can easily develop additional parsers) the geometry is then render in SVG â€" VML, which does not require special graphic cards nor does it require HTML 5 or any plug-ins… We also have the option to accept an .mtl file for color or use standard image as textures.

We then have advanced free-form deformation (FFD) algorithms with collision detection, to modify any object with simple sliders, which implements the min. - max., configured in the bounding boxes.

From the designer’s portal, a designer has the option to dynamically create bounding boxes and control points, with simple text input or via sketching on the viewport…
As for virtual dressing, we have the option for overlapping layers, which automatically render as a unit, we are just aligning the coordinate system for each group of the garment with its correspondence avatar parts; either by simple drag-and-drop or via matching bounding boxes, which we can automatically detected when using some of our, or by developing custom templates.

Since we have collision detection, we can modify and visualize the garments according to posture and fit.
Our software also offers zoom and pan, with the option to move the camera, which moves all layers at once, without changing the coordinate system or, drag-and-drop which changes coordinate system, as with the example for placing garments on different avatars.

We have also developed a robust cloud-based (on Google app engine) database, with a very advanced data structure, where we can dynamically create data joints and even able to merge public and private primary keys and thereby enabling us to load for each user, customized garment, avatar etc. without the need of repetitive data.

Our software is very flexible, scalable, and pluggable; each part is a separate widget, which enables custom assembly, including designing etc., and enables different data sources as well as different databases.

Our widgets are available to use in other website, or within our complete customized websites.
A designer can customize our website from the UI in the admin counsel. We can build entire forms, customize widgets, WebPages etc. even without coding experience.
We are expecting to complete our software within a few weeks. Most of our algorithms and functions are completed; we are just completing our commercial infrastructure… However, our software is already available for general 3-D use cases.

our software is almost complete. We are seeking to license our software and I would much rather partner with other companies to do so... I have not done any marketing yet. Very few people know about what we do and I'm exploring all options...

So, I would love to know your opinion about the following matters and hoping a good news from you.

I tried this on my website and it worked. I see no reason why it should need PHP because there is NO PHP script in the file, it just contains the IP number.

Please do not complicate the exercise.

Please ignore all other files because we are not using them.

The only file that concerns us here is the smls_server.php and this will not have any script, just the IP.

Please do as I instructed in the previous post.

Please leave your server running at 9:00 PM your time so that I can check what is going wrong with the client reading your file to get the number.

smls_server.php read IP from smls_server.txt
but I have not php,
then I write IP in smls_server.php.
Not work
The client cannot use webaddress to locate the server ...

hi suntonlain, the Seamless3d server is a sockets based server, it does not need PHP. The PHP is only used for getting the IP number for the clients. If you don't have a PHP server, it seems all you need to do is open notepad and write in the IP number on the first line, then press the enter key to add an empty line after the IP number, this is important.
Save this text file with the name smls_server.php and upload it to the same folder the server is running from.

Please let me know if this works or not.

If seamless3d use php, then his php pages ca not work properly without a php engine

I am online when I have opened my netbook.

Now is
time = 9:18 PM
I have
IP = 109.96.156.252
and
no-ip address = suntonlain.no-ip.org

suntonlain,
if you click on the following link:
http://mixed3d.net:7778/

You should see the world url list in your html browser.
This page is generated directly by the seamless3d online server. This direct link bypasses any PHP stuff.

If I try doing this with your link:
http://suntonlain.no-ip.org:7778/

I get the following message from my browser:

This webpage is not available

It works for you when you try your local address in your html browser:
http://127.0.0.1:7778/

?

Hello Thyme
The server is running at http://suntonlain.no-ip.org/
The world address is
http://suntonlain.no-ip.org/seamless3d-server-2.157/my_world.smls

ThankYou for help

Hi suntonlain
If you have got the server working so that a html browser on the internet can access the seamless3d server (through firewalls etc), the Seamless3d modeller should also be able to log in as a client, however a client running from the same computer as the server will not be able to. This problem is not unique to seamless3d server. Clients running from a separate computer that have a different IP address to the server will not have this problem and so will be able to log in and send and receive chat messages to and from the server.
You can however join in and chat with these clients from the same computer as the server if you log into the server with your local IP address 127.0.0.1 because the server will pass your local messages to and from the internet.

If you want me to test to see if your server can be accessed from the internet, send me your server url and I will try using it to log in.

Hi Amir
Seamless3d has support for activating a user defined script when the mouse clicks a hot spot but it does not currently have a feature for displaying popups.
My brother made a functioning rubix cube type object using Seamless3d that had a hotspot for each square but this involved having a Seamless node for each square in the cube because a TouchSensor node acts for the entire region of the geometry contained in the Seamless node. I can see how this would pose a problem for a world model that has multiple hot spots because you would have to cut the geometry up so that you have a separate piece of geometry for each hot spot which might cause unwanted seams between your hot spots. The scripting involved may also be rather unfriendly for a beginner at this stage of development. If your still interested I have a tutorial that shows how to make a simple touch activated switch here:
http://www.seamless3d.com/tut/switch_anim3d/
And will answer further questions.
Best wishes

Trouble with 'Seamless3d 2.172'

Your 'Seamless3d Server 2.157' can run on my PC. He is visible from internet.

I use 'Seamless3d 2.172' client, and he has a bug.
Original was ServerUrl: http://www.seamless3d.com
* When I put ServerUrl: http://My_Adress he return me an error message: "gethostbyname error: :11004", and the server not work
* When I put IP of my PC, http://My_IP at ServerUrl,
ServerUrl: http://My_IP, the server work

Why the client not work with the name of address for the server url ?
For WorldUrl I can put the address but at ServerUrl I can not do this.

ThankYou

Hi
I am looking for a software to make a 3d earth and add thousands hotspot everywhere on it, with some description. for example when you move your mouse on a special place, it will show a popup with information.
I don't know if Seamless3D is the software which I'm looking for?
