realXtend can be the next big thing for game developers - it offers a free to use base for any good and visually rich 3D game.

Concise introduction to the realXtend platform, grabbed from Evocativi's web site.

With the current boom in 3D movies, such as Avatar, virtual worlds will soon follow.

This summer Vitali took a challenge - from a total virtual worlds newbie to a seasoned veteran. He will blog his experiences here at Maxping starting from now.

One of the most compelling aspects of virtual worlds is the ability create your own worlds. One of the problems with that is that modeling 3D objects requires a lot of skill and time. People want to bring their own physical world objects to the virtual world.

While realXtend project concentrates on Naali, the next generation virtual worlds viewer, they still maintain the old viewer, which now hits 0.42 and brings some previously unseen and exciting features.
