Official press release

The realXtend July release includes exciting new avatar features and an important step towards the 3D Internet in the form of the first public avatar portability service.

The realXtend architecture is designed from the start to support an interconnected network of virtual worlds, and now is the time to take the next step towards the 3D internet. realXtend offers access to the first public avatar service for a group of pioneers interested in being among the first to try out the new way of browsing virtual worlds. Since the realXtend avatar portability service is free for everyone to setup, more public services are likely to follow shortly, so don't worry, eventually there will be room for everyone! Contact info@realxtend.org if you're interested in trying out the new service.

Since february the realXtend development team has been focusing heavily on the avatar, and the results are now available for everyone to see. The basic models have been greatly improved and they are now more customizable than before. Together with the option to use FaceGen to generate the looks of the avatar, it is now possible to create avatars that are a close match to what their users look like - or would like to look like - in reality. The new software and videos showcasing the new features can be found on the realXtend website at www.realXtend.org.
