A new demo is provided with the last release, starring Andy the robot, and some video tutorials too (in French, but with English subtitles) explaining step by step how to re-create this scene by yourself.

Those video tutorials gives an OpenSpace3D overview in a nutshell, and were wrote to accelerate familiarisation of new users with the tool.

All your questions relative to those tutorials can be posted on the forum.

Another month, another version of OpenSpace3D : version 0.2.2 is available!

We have done a huge work on HCI (or Human-Computer Interactions) interfaces. Now you can easily manage the well known Joypad (by the way, Wii Mote was already supported), plus a bunch of less known interfaces, like the Text to Speech generation, Voice Recognition, and the innovative brain-computer interface NeuroSky Mindset headset.

And, as usual, all of those news functionalities are easily usable in your applications without coding, thanks to OpenSpace3D’s PlugIT system.

On the visual side, we are now supporting Ogre’s particles scripts (work is in progress to make a particle editor available), and you can also render the scene in wired mode. We also added a tool-bar that let you test an animation or a particle system within the editor interface.

Furthermore, the editor now allows panel resizing, multi-selection on PlugITs, and much more !

And last but not least, we have greatly optimized the OpenSpace3D object management system (scene loading time, physics, etc. are improved).

Go to the download section to give it a try. You can also check our online demos, Kid Kitchen (a serious game on home safety), Car Showroom (if you got a microphone, you can now change colors by voice!) and a Virtual Tour.

This version introduce new features like, skeletal bones manipulation, a better animation support, compositor effects and more.

New examples and the “Kid Kitchen” demo are included in this version.

Go to the download section for details.

We will be presenting demos of our open source platform OpenSpace3D with new features.  All our team members will be happy to meet you there.
