Check out the epod!
There are movies online at 3DP! We wanted to check out the software so opened the epod in a new page, which opened the cinema in yet another page. We closed down the extra pages and selected a movie. we began looking at Hansel and Gretel: Witchhunters The software worked perfectly for us for the 17 minutes we spent looking. We played with the controls and hope to finish watching it. Last night we watched Olympus Has Fallen. Everything went well until about 25 minutes into the movie we began experiencing brief lags as the streaming cache wasn't keeping ahead. We paused the video for a few minutes and had no problems the rest of the way through the movie.Here is our Planet X Tour at 3DP
We present our quick tour overview of Planet X. None of the images reach 300kb. http://cvnweekly.50megs.com/294/PlanetXtour.html3d Planets: Touring Gaia2

3d Planets: My First Exploration #2
Although I never received an email, I do have access and have begun to explore. Today I saw no one at the Hub (Staff lounge), and no one on Gaia. Over the next several weeks I will take a look at each of the planets within the site. I took a quick trip around looking at all three : Gaia 2, Starhenge, and Planet X. Next I go in depth on each planet to report the findings to our readers. Next week you will have a report on the four hemispheres of Gaia 2. They are Oceania, Skyhome, Highpoint, and the Asteriod Belt. Their 3D Chat World is Courtesy Of Skippybrand !!! Here is their mythos: "Imagine a futuristic planet with little dry land. A planet covered in water that has evolved into a nautical and airborne society held together by determination and ingenuity. The inhabitants of this flourishing planet live not only on incredible floating cities upon the surface of the ocean and in the air, but also deep beneath the waves. Because of the planet's rotation, axial tilt, and short year, Gaia 2 enjoys a constant climate, there are no storms and the ambient temperature hovers around 75 degrees fahrenheit. A constant light breeze makes this a sailors paradise. STAFF Planet Leader - Heather Planet Deputy(s) - Rookie"3d Planet Basics
