From: Bill Bohan Subject: Re: MISC: VR Standards Solution Proposal Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 01:30:32 -0600 Message-ID: <34962E17.DBC99E4@technologist.com> Organization: CyberNews Network There is an effort underway on the internet to develop a free, portable, general purpose 6 degree of freedom 3D engine. Led by Jorrit Tyberghein, the project is called Crystal Space. Information including source code and preliminary versions of the executable may be found at http://www.grimmware.com/CrystalSpace/ I keep up with their mailing list and the plans they have would allow for interaction via modem, on a network, or over the internet. The current version is 0.6, with 0.7 beta available if you ask for it. You might want to check it out, or just bookmark it and check their progress later. Although it does not involve commercial software such as Quake, this seems somewhat pertinent to your question. Bill Bohan -- As many programmers as there are, that's how many ways there are to do it.
