This reminds me of a project I was very exited in, but I let in
standby at a pre-conception level, for lack of time (and lack
of enthusiasm, since it completely missed to arouse any kind of
interest on the Glorantha3D list). It was the project of vrmlmodeling
parts of Glorantha -my initial suggestion being of following
Janes Williams path with a Pavis 3D model, but any other locality was
(is) possible.
This vrml project would have been (can still be) hosted as a vrml-
world (or technically a set of connected vrml-worlds) with a chat,
allowing collective building with real-time speaking about the
process.
I sadly lack most of the technical skills on many aspects of the
task, but I had a very positive feedback to this project by the
vr4all (w w w . vr4all . net) staff, after speaking to them both
through the net and physically at the 2008 Laval Virtual
international Exhibition, in France, (vr4all is a French non-profit
organization hosting a set of virtual worlds allowing "to easily
build worlds in 3 dimensions in an environment multi-user" through a
very intuitive interface, using a collective license of the plug-in
BS Contact vrml as engine 3d -access to the world & building process
is free of charge, world hosting is for a very small annual
subscription, these world being either public, displayed on a listing
on the general vr4all page, or private, accessible through the
world's owner page only - so we could put it on a specific gloranthan
page with all the needed fan's policy legal notices; a limited access
through an inscription is technically possible too, independantly at
every levels: admin, builder, visitor).
The strong side of the idea were the possibility of a fully collective building project, with real-time discussion, feedback and help through the chat. The bad side of this is the restricted availability of the vr4all developers, all being volunteers with busy lives.
Anyone interested or do we just let the whole thing being canceled? -BTW, the vr4all's President (who beside rules a commercial virtual reality design enterprise) privately confessed having played RuneQuest, in a previous half-forgotten life...-
With apologies for my bad English.
