I was born on a cold September morning at the Gary Methodist Hospital in Gary Indiana. The year was 1966 and the world was much different then. At the time we all lived on or near clay street in Miller across the tracks from the predominantly rich Jewish community of Miller Beach in Gary Indiana. Lots of poor, young men died in Vietnam so that wealthy people could have dinner parties and celebrate the deaths of those young men. If I were old enough to understand what was going on I would have new hero's besides Batman,Superman,Spiderman, and they would be the Weathermen, The Black Panther Party, And the Grateful Dead. Keep up this great space modding is a wonderful hobbie and code is fun. ~ Bret ~
PROJECT SUMMARY: The GalleryVirtuality Project is an Open Source creator community of users and developers co-creating GalleryVirtuality, a "Neutral Zone" virtual environment using the Quake III Game Engine that simulates a modern art gallery. The gallery space can be used by artists to show work in a virtual environment familiar to patrons of the arts. The viewer can wander through the rooms, look at the art, get information about the art and artist, with no time limit or distractions. A music track may be added for ambiance. The code is greatly simplified which makes it a useful tool for viewing maps and features in the design phase at one's leisure. The simplified code environment also can help students of gaming design or the visual arts learn basic coding skills and to simulate how art might express in a physical environment.
