The battle to rebuild London

The Guardian has an interesting piece about different approaches to efforts to build a virtual model of London. Naturally, Twinity is included in the list:

Twinity.com, a German company that has already built a virtual Berlin, is building London from Soho towards Westminster and hopes “definitely” to go live this year. Its avatars, which will look realistic as you can transplant your own photo on to your face, will help it build up a strong Facebook-style community in 3D.

As noted, the strength and compelling point is a community in the 3D virtual world.

Krazy Kakashi’s diary about Twinity

Krazy Kakshi has a diary entry about Twinity.

At first glance of Twinity, I was already impressed especially with the level of character detail

As you can see though, the character customisation options are definitely more advanced and specific than the other games I mentioned, which pleased me a lot, as I can now create a much more detailed avatar of my inner personality woot :P . There are a couple of options that have intriguied me a fair bit, there’s an option to create yoru avatar’s face using a photo, which I will test in a minute and report on it. Also in the bottom middle of the screen, there isa silver toolbar with an “animations” option in it. Upon reading the user guide, I found that you can make your character perform a series of preset animations such as dancing and cheering, which is something I usually like in a game with 3D avatars in :P .

I didn’t bother with the feature that lets you put a photo of yourself as your avatar’s face because I didn’t have a photo that met their requirements, and also I realised more importantly, that this character is supposed to be a self expression of who we are on the inside, so there’s no point basing the character’s appearance around mine, as I didn’t choose how I would look on the outside when I was born, but I chose who I was on the inside when I grew up instead, and that is what is important after all for this module (I have to say though, I think I was starting to sound a little poetic just there!).
