<div>Some of the models in Virtual Playa were developed using Gmax. <br/> <br/>Autodesk acquired Discreet systems, and now Discreet's free <br/>version of Gmax is no longer available. <br/> <br/>http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5562445&amp;siteID=123112 <br/>says: <br/>"As of October 6, 2005, Autodesk will no longer offer Gmax® software as a stand-alone product. If you are interested in other 3D animation, modeling, and rendering applications from Autodesk please check out Autodesk® 3ds Max® software. You can download a free 30-day trial, view product demonstrations, read customer success stories, and get more information about this powerful, versatile product." <br/> <br/>Anyone have a preferred free replacement?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://VirtualPlaya.tribe.net">Virtual Playa</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>The Virual Playa model files can be downloaded from http://www.virtualplaya.org. <br/>Virtual Playa looks awesome in Microsoft Flight Simulator, but for those of use who can't or won't run it, FlightGear from http://www.flightgear.org is a possibility. FlightGear is freely available and runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. <br/> <br/>I converted some of the Virtual Playa models that Andrew posted in January(?) of last year for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 to FlightGear. Those converted files can be found at http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/sapub/flightgear.htm <br/>There are various problems with the converted files, which are documented on that page. In particular, the converted files _do not_ work on the Mac yet <br/> <br/>Unfortunately, the recent files from the Virtual Playa January 2004 release do not all convert. I'll see what I can do, but I'm swamped with some other tasks. Any C programmers out there want to take a shot?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://VirtualPlaya.tribe.net">Virtual Playa</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Fellow folks, <br/>Burningman is a festival of radical self expression held in Nevada's Black Rock Desert (or "playa") at the beginning of September. It is a beacon for some of the most amazing large scale artists in the world, and becomes the fifth largest city in Nevada, before it vanishes without a trace. <br/> <br/>We have developed a project called the Virtual Playa Project. It is a complete scenery pack designed for Microsoft flight sim, and allows users to navigate the art and city of Burningman in great detail. It has recently been featured on CNN, Wired and Tech TV, and It may be the most fun scenery ever designed for flight sim.... and its FREE!! <br/> <br/>Our experiment this year is to be running the project live from the desert each night between 9:00pm and midnight (maybe later!) form Monday29th August to Saturday 3rd September, and opening multiplayer rooms at zone.msn.com to allow anyone from anywhere in the world to join us for a guided tour. <br/> <br/>You will first need to download and install the scenery pack from http://virtualplaya.org/ or you will only see blank desert! <br/> <br/>If you are lucky enough to be on the playa, come by and see us in Centercamp &amp; 3:30 and we will show you whats up. <br/> <br/>If you want to participate in this experiment, please contact me at Andrew@virtualplaya.org so we can get everyone on the same page. <br/>Thanks for your participation... See you in the desert! <br/> <br/>Andrew Johnstone <br/> <br/> http://virtualplaya.org/ (project site) <br/> http://virtualplaya.tribe.net/ (tribe.net site) <br/> http://Burningman.com (Burningman main site)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://VirtualPlaya.tribe.net">Virtual Playa</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Howdy Andrew and the rest of the Burning Wall Tribe. First off I'd like to thank you for helping out with Burning Wall Diagram...great stuff. Its an evolving idea and I'm glad you helped out in its journey. I'd like to know how difficult it would be to map some of the images from the Dig it Tribe onto the plywd. bitmap and also if both sides of the structure could be covered. <br/> <br/> <br/>Thanks again <br/> <br/>-M</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://VirtualPlaya.tribe.net">Virtual Playa</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div> http://virtualplaya.org/ <br/> <br/>The VIRTUAL PLAYA is a digital Burningman enviroment using Microsoft Flight Simulator as a platform. <br/> <br/>It is intended to be an open-ended project that invites participation at various levels. It can be downloaded for home use; played on a giant screen at an Anon Salon event, or even be used as a design tool for DPW or an artist wishing to show a preview of an installation before it ever gets to Black Rock City. <br/> <br/>The ultimate wish for the project however, is for the Virtual Playa to become a portal through which we can meet and share ideas from anywhere in the world in real time. This takes the project from just being a cool piece of collaborative digital art, to a true meeting place for the cyber-tribe. <br/> <br/>Download it, copy it, send it to pals, leave it on buses, give it away as a gift.....spread the word... be nice to your mother ...eat your greens. <br/> <br/>Your brother, <br/>Andrew Johnstone. <br/> <br/> <br/> </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://VirtualPlaya.tribe.net">Virtual Playa</a> - 0 replies </div>
