DeleD Community Edition

Feedback is always good. I'm glad I found and can use DeleD for sure.

I've re-editied all the posts, and linked the pictures to smaller versions (all 600 wide), so it's easier for everyone to see them.
In doing so, I realised I had missed a couple of projects that I've done in DeleD over the past months:

Roman Baths is a freely available model, which I edited and made alterations to the layout, added water features including a small fountain in one of the urns. Added lighting and seating positions, some statues, flowered ivy and a couple of broad leafed plants.

This one is my version of Stone Henge. I did not make the stone meshes, but I did remap and texture the whole thing as there were a lot of 'issues'. I added a backdrop terrain which takes around 4-5 minutes to walk to an edge. Fog is part of the scene along with lighting layouts.

Yes Atmosphere was way ahead of its time for sure. It could handle Obj files in mtx/mtj formats, had a good range of prims, building tools and a fair rendering engine. Physics were pretty good, along with scripting functionality, graphics being handled by Viewpoint (since bought out by some faceless corp who do not respond to emails and phone calls).

For a product that began in late 1900's it was way ahead of its time, dynamic shadowing, ray tracing, engine, hinge, pivot, skeleton and suspension physics to mention a few.

On the downside, it was clunky, prone to crashing and loosing your work and until it broke out into a browser pluggin, the client took some getting used to. Strange Adobe brought it to the point of marketing and sales, then dropped it like a hot potato. I have spoken to a Director at Adobe, they have no plans to release it, or continue development, they are focusing on Director to produce Flash based VR products. In my opinion, its like dragging a cheiftan tank out to go shopping. Laughing

Thanks to the help of some of the users here, I was able to complete a project I was working on.

You can see a portion of the project here:

However the whole project is around 300 times bigger then you can see here. In other parts I have created dams with water features, scattered farm buildings, lots and lots of hills and Lochs.

We are at the 'out of beta' phase, hence why I've been making content like mad the past few months.

I'll post a link for access and a simple pluggin. We support XP, Vista and Vista-Win7 upgrade (not new install), with IE 6, 7 and 8 browsers, for now, and will increase the OS and Browser spread soon.

There is a known issue with Win7 and some drivers, this includes some activeX pluggins not being recognised as being windows compliant. If you installed the pluggin under Vista and upgraded to Win7, it all works fine.

We have a 'Try our demo' access route, which allows anyone to get into the environments. These have no moderator controls, no guest list controls, no secure communication channels, no bespoke avatar (you choose from a set of default, low poly avatars) and no media available. All that is available on the paid for service.

I've completed the first phase in the SchoolHouse project, posted a couple of views for you to look at.

And one from the opposite corner:

You may recognise the woodburner from the chamfer function request, and the wall hanging posters from the tutorials.

Everything in this project was constructed by myself. I hope to share some of the models, but I've discovered if I make up a material using a texture and a colour blend, it transports as black.

Nice work. If you don't mind, what is the poly count?

An update on when you can run around the projects I've made. Our tech guys are writting a bespoke collaboration server, complete with SIP, XMPP protocols. Its written from a clean sheet, and all code is inhouse. We are doing this, so we can verify security of the code, communications and the platform. This is important to our business plan and to qualify for Military contracts.

The result is, we have had to wait before being able to use the Browser Kiosk wrapper solution, which hosts the pluggin. However (now the good part), the guys are nearly complete with the 'public' access point of the server and the worlds I've created will come on line in the coming week. Once passed our QC, the link to the access point via the wrapper kiosk, will be available while we work on the secure layers.

You can get access already, but the links all go to last generation worlds I created, not the ones seen here on the forums.

Had a update meeting last night with our Tech department. The collaboration server is now out of beta soak testing. It sustained over 900 constant users, throwing 100 messages per second at the server for over 2 weeks without a single issue, or the need for a restart. Logging in and out users in random sequence produced no 'memory leaks' or the need for garbage collection.
Users were swapped between meeting rooms/location in random sequences without a single issue.

I'm no tech guru, but it sounds impressive to me Very Happy

All the other modules like VIOP etc are being combined, then it goes through more tests. However, I should be able to get a link up and running to give a few users at a time, the chance to wander round the builds you have seen me post here and a few besides Smile

It won't be the red carpet, and some modules maybe missing, as these are linked to the paid for service, but you will be able to choose a Avatar and walk around the builds.

I'll post further information here.
