Pelican Crossing announced their basic version of the web-based virtual world development platform Blink3D is now available for free as of yesterday. Much like the Quest3D and OGRE platforms it allows you to build a virtual world through a ‘game editor’ interface. These 3D environments can reach almost gaming standards graphic levels, use real time shadows and can be visited through the browser (using a 6MB plug-in).
“We are not talking here about simply customizing a pre-built 3D apartment. With Blink 3D you can create your own virtual world, whatever type you want, quickly, easily and for free.“
One interesting bit of information I wasn’t aware of yet in the press release was the following claim: ‘Pelican Crossing has already demonstrated an alpha version of inDuality and the ability to teleport between different virtual worlds, including Blink 3D, Second Life, X3D and the Flash® based Club Penguin®‘. Though this means as much as ‘having these virtual worlds run inside a browser client through the inDuality Plugin’ and not actual avatar interoperability between worlds. However, the list goes on with other promising interoperability features:
- The inDuality client allows virtual worlds from different vendors to be embedded in a Web page. The initial release of inDuality supports Blink 3D virtual worlds, subsequent releases will add support for other virtual worlds, such as Second Life®.
- The digital content creation pipeline has been improved with automatic asset importing and synchronization. Assets can be created with: SketchUp, Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, XSI, AC3D, DeleD and MilkShape.
- Over forty new and enhanced Behaviors including Google Analytics, physics joints and forces.
The video tutorials give a good overview of the actual application, creation and publishing of Blink3D environments. The new release is available in three editions and price points: Blink 3D Standard edition $399, Blink 3D Lite edition $199 and Blink 3D Ultra Lite edition which is free.

Thanks you for the coverage on Blink 3D. Just to maybe clarify something, Blink 3D actually uses the Ogre graphics engine as does for example Multiverse (Multiverse uses a C# port of Ogre). What this does mean, is that your assets are portable. Models created for Multiverse or any other product using the open standard Ogre graphics engine can be directly used in Blink 3D.
So with Blink 3D you can have the same AAA game quality graphics that you would get using Ogre and C++ directly. Of course, with Blink 3D you also get a lot of other things and it’s a lot easier to use :)

You should take a look at Dreamworld on http://www.virtualworld.sl , it’s a new virtual world project based on the technology of Second Life and it offers people land for a fraction of the cost compared to what you pay in Second Life, it’s not entirely free but close to being free. Having fun with friends in cyberspace shouldn’t cost a fortune I think as real life economy is expensive enough as it is.

I think making a virtual world should have good graphics live There, Second Life and Moove. I have experienced GogoFrog and its good but the graphics are very low. Make graphics at least 2D good ones.
