No one is allowed to "encroach" on territory that has been "claimed" by another user. Tourists may build, but their builds may be deleted by anyone. Screenshot of the Object Properties dialog box (with a texture command) showing the properties box and the object the command is applied to. Builders must work with the available objects, or else purchase a private world.
The available objects are defined by the world owner it is not possible to upload custom objects to a public world. Active Worlds supports objects stored as RenderWare script RWX (and the RW3+ binary equivalent DFF) and trueSpace objects COB, as well as DirectX "X" objects. The user may then decide to add windows, doors, furniture, landscaping, etc. For example, a user may search for or request an open plot of land and then construct the walls of the building with 4x4 meter wall pieces. There are also custom design services for 3D art available, especially avatars.īuilding allows users to create their own environment. There is also plenty of free exchange of 3D content. The necessity for 3D art within Active Worlds to enrich one's world has led to the development of a market place for 3D models, textures, avatars (and associated animation sequences), and more. Instead of creating a website, the user could construct an office, building, or area in which to display products or information. The program's original goal was to be the 3D-equivalent of a 2D web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox). On May 30, 2006, version 4.1 was released to the general public.
Corporate and educational clients of Active Worlds can make use of the interaction, communication, and media to provide functional environments suited for their objective. This integrated software can allow users to connect, explore, and gain a more in depth understanding of 3D.
The browser has web browsing capabilities, voice chat, and basic instant messaging. AW allows users to own worlds and universes, and develop 3D content. Users can chat with one another or build structures and areas from a selection of objects. Users assign themselves a unique name, log into the Active Worlds virtual world universe, and explore 3D virtual worlds and environments that other users have built. The "Active Worlds Browser" runs on Windows.
