Isle of Jeenix

[Len Bullard <cbullard@hiwaay.net>]

For those of you who are keeping up with 
VRML, the new VRML 2.0 language which includes
animation nodes is now functional.  You will 
need a 2.0 browser such as CosmoPlayer 
from http://vrml.sgi.com

I have added a VRML 2.0 world, Isle of the Jeenix
to the KateWorlds page at http://fly.hiwaay.net/~cbullard 
or if you want to skip the index, 
http://fly.hiwaay.net/~cbullard/jeenix.wrl

There are no textures, so the initial scene will load
fairly quickly.  The sound files and midi file take 
a little while but aren't bad overall.  You will 
load inside the flying saucer and two of the controls 
inside are active for controlling flight. Alternately,
you can use the right mouse button to click on viewpoints 
and go to the Temple on the isle where the sacred 
harp of the Talosians is guarded by the Jeenix.  These
were the pets of the Princess.  The Talosians declared 
the site sacred because they are too chicken to defy 
the Jeenix and try to retrieve it.  It plays a nice 
Debussy piece if you click on it.  If the wavs weren't
so big, I would put Kate's The Women of Ireland there.
But midi is just smaller.  Don't feed the birds.

If you watch for a bit, the mood will change as 
the orbiting moon changes the light and shadow patterns.

Enjoy.
