Cinemassively: realXtend demo video
Filed under: Video, Second Life, Cinemassively, Machinima
While this is obviously just the beginning, they already have mesh avatars, mesh objects, and html on a prim! With the next update on February 29th, they'll be adding avatar attachments, avatar appearance storage, and single sign-on to multiple worlds, among other things. Change is coming. Are you ready?

Ok. I've tried the demo itself, viewer and server. The ONLY thing that is impressive is HTML-on-prim.
(which already has been done by a linden, not forget to mention that he did give out open source of his work. Guess where RealXtread got it from? It haven't been added to LL's official viewer because for some reason on some videocard drivers don't work.)
And other impressive thing is shadow casting.... but that's part of ORGE's standard shadow system. It's too pixelated.
That's it.... rest of it is very disappointing. They tried to create new hair for your (not forget to mention how extremely ugly, like an old whore off the street of Las Vegas.) avatar, but they don't line up right.
Lack of water rendering support than LL's Windlight water reflection. Just plain simple pixel shader for the effect but no actual reflection.
Physic..... is cheap, very very very cheap. I can not express any more than that because I specialize in racing with realistic physic law as possible on SL. I had a thought maybe I could do better racing on these... Look like I was dead wrong with those idea.
This isn't a real improvement at all. Surely it's different though. Linden Labs still wins for me.

They're developers, not artists. go take a look at 2002-2003 LindenWorld content and tell me if it's not laughable too.
I don't expect LL to give me a perfectly pretty world. I expect tools to do the job, and a handsoff attitude that doesn't interfere (as long as I don't break any real-life laws)

Pity the Linden's can't do that isn't it. They need to impose their "broadly offensive" rulings against things that are not illegal.
Mind Crimes.

Hi experimented it. It's impressive!!!
Yes not totally as SL is currently but impressive!!!
Meshes prims are impressive !!! (I don't see it on sl)
URL on prims... If this is so easy, why they don't do in sl? it is almost year sl says it's so easy
I'm not a fan of opensim, BUT this is a real step forward!!!
SL should be REALLY concerned... Just add a bit of scripting and many people will flow out from sl. :)))))
