My two > cents, Ric > One note along the same lines, when posting a means to exercise a bit of software, it would be good to say something like: in the default configuration xxx in the upper right area of the panel do ...... Replacing xxx with the full name of the button as it appears. If it is a drag menu, it is accepted to note as follows: window top tool bar tools=>advanced=>toggle halo This makes it clear where to look, how to access the control and with full text helps remove ambiguity. If several menu items start with the same word, I also usually say something like read carefully for "....." to emphasize that there is a possibility of improper selection. Remember that this is for new people to utilize the system and they have NO experience with the application, like me. Thanks, Les H |

Les,
The use of a software at its beta (or pre-alpha) version is not an easy task. Many things can not work well. Many features are not installed yet. By example: if you click the camera at the 3D Panel, nothing will happens. In the future, you will have a copy of the image saved at your hard disk, to read it later. The "X" closes the Panel. The +/- changes the Panel from a text-viewer to a mirror. The "hand", glues the Panel to the avatar. If you move the avatar, the Panel will go with it. All these resources will be documented at the version 1.0 of Cobalt. By now, be pacient and try to do the exercises of the Manual and to have fun. To have fun is very important... And you can also to think: how can I make money being one of the first persons in the world to know this revolucionary technology ? Bezos (Amazon.com) did it in the beginning of the public Internet and now he has some billions of dolares :-) |

Just 'yum install blender'. Wouldn't that work?? Maybe a link needs to be made for Cobalt to run with it?

I understand, and that is why I am attempting to be "gentle" with what I
touch or talk about. Today I attempted again to get the island that was created using blender to load. What I do not understand is: 7 Open cobalt using CrusoeWeb image. I have looked at the demos, at the tools, and I do not see any mention of the CrusoeWeb image anywhere. How do I access this CrusoeWeb image?

I was futzing around in Croquet today with the idea of figuring out how
to make a 3D chessboard. I couldn't get anywhere with mouse gestures, there doesn't seem to be a pre-fab environment with just the tweak UI and the croquet environment, usually it's the raw environment with nothing. =( The morph-menu didn't have anything useful either. And the croquetconsortium website doesn't seem to have any tutorials related to content creation. =( I subclassed frame and tried to add it to the world with: "self future: [ self addFrame: ChessFrame new]. and that errored out nice and pretty. =\ I was using the sailing demo because that one has a user interface but it is a comparatively large world and I have NO IDEA where the frame would have ended up if the command had worked... =( -- Ron Paul: A man of Peace. Chemistry.com: A total rip-off. Powers are not rights. We did not invade Iraq, the government did. |
