[Opalesoya-dev] opalesoya

[Andreas Hoheisel]

Hello,

I'm working at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Architecture and 
Software Technology in Berlin/Germany and we are thinking about using 
OpaleSoya as 3D Engine for the visualization and interaction in an 
actor-based client for virtual worlds in our "M3 Project". At the moment 
we are using the wildtangent browser plugin, but we had a lot of trouble 
with it and we don't want to be limited to MS-Windows, so we are looking 
for alternatives.

The "M3 simulation" (M3 = Man Model Measurement) is a mixture of MUD, 
simulation game and scientific simulation. At the moment, we are 
building a virtual Berlin-Brandenburg where real humans can login via 
Internet as actors. For further information have a look at our website 
http://mmm.first.fraunhofer.de

We have about two people in our group dedicated to the development of 
the "M3 client" (which of cause will be GPL too), so I hope we can push 
the development of soya somehow...

I read about your plans to use python instead of java. Well, for us it 
would be very inconvenient, because our server architecture is already 
coded in java and we want to connect to the client via rmi.


so long,

Andreas.
