3D worlds are interactive environments where the visitor is represented
by a 2D or 3D avatar. The avatar provides a first person viewpoint as it moves
through graphical space with objects being seen as they come into view.
There are also 3D/2D worlds and chats you can put on your own website, games,
software, graphics and miscelleny. The worlds and software listed on this site are free to use.
You'll need to have Shockwave , Flash and Java to view a number of the chats/games listed.
Many 3D worlds here are VRML. The recommended browser plugin to view
VRML worlds is blaxxun's Contact. Download Contact V.5.3 from blaxxun here .
There are also some Bitmanagement Software VRML and X3D worlds which can
only be viewed with the BS Contact VRML/X3D plugin. For information, see the
3D BS Worlds page. For X3D other than Bitmanagement, see the X3D Links page.

GAME:
The Endless Forest

Click To Enter The Endless Forest Site
"The Endless Forest is a multiplayer online game and social screensaver, a virtual place
where you can play with your friends. When your computer goes to sleep you appear as
a deer in this magical place. There are no goals to achieve or rules to follow. Just run through
the forest and see what happens. You are a stag, a male deer. So are the other players. You
meet each other in an endless forest on the internet. The setting is idyllic, the atmosphere
peaceful. You communicate with one another through sounds and body language."
The Endless Forest can be a regular application on your desktop to use anytime, or a
screensaver
which appears when your computer is inactive. Version 3.1 of The Endless Forest contains
both the screensaver and program. For screensaver mode only, download an earlier version.
