sered on Virtual London’s expansion
sered posted about the expansion of Virtual London:
Famous landmarks along the Thames river such as the Big Ben, the Westminster Abbey and the ‘London Eye’ became available. Due to family matters I couldn’t spend too much time, and it was already evening, but here’s a few snapshots of the Westminster Abbey and the London Eye, the way a real world tourist would never be able to view them. Enjoy!
That’s a really interesting point, and one I hadn’t considered so much – you can see things from so many different angles and perspectives, in ways that you really couldn’t in real life. Neat!

Virtual London Grows!
Metaversum, developer of Twinity, the virtual world based on real people and real cities, is adding new areas to the beta of Virtual London on February 3rd. To mark this occasion, members will be greeted with lots of events and new launches.
Berlin, 2 February 2010 – After successfully launching various parts of Central London, the mirror world Twinity is opening up more areas in Virtual London.
These areas will include famous buildings and monuments, from the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace to the Millennium Bridge, and the Trocadero. With this, Virtual London, will have grown to the east and south of its present spread, while also marking a foray across the virtual Thames.
From the 3rd of February onwards, Twinity is celebrating this launch by showcasing the creative expression of its global community. From art exhibitions to live music gigs, all Twinizens will have a chance to display their work to the entire community, receive comments, or link to other websites.

The Twinity Monitor on the Altes Museum
The Altes Museum in Virtual Berlin is online, and the Twinity Monitor paid a visit.
As usual, I was blown away by the architecture (I’m an architecture nut) as well as the attention to detail.
There’s some nice pictures over there, so give it a look!
New Engine Release
We released a new version of our core engine today, which mainly includes a new user interface rendering system that improved the performance of UI rendering significantly.
The new UI renderer automatically groups all UI elements into texture atlases. This makes it possible to draw the UI elements with much less draw-calls and therefore leaves more performance for rendering the 3d part of the scene.
Two small issues are already identified (black icon textures) and will be fixed with the next hot-fix patch.
