Latest News from This Week
Deighv tells us "The latest news on 3DP is that Toxic is having the server shipped to him from Virginia to Florida so hopefully 3DP will be back up soon. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I get any new info. We had a MAJOR donation of $500 given to 3DP by Cheyla! I can’t begin to express our gratitude for such a generous amount, I hadda check the account 3 times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, hehe! HUMONGOUS THANKS Cheyla! After PayPal fees and currency conversion the amount totaled about $450. $100 was used to renew the webspace for another year where 3dpNet, 3DP media/storage files and member file storage is located. $50 was earmarked towards getting our own online radio station and the remainder was split three ways between myself (Founder), Toxic (Founder) and Dancerbabe (Co-Founder) to help with hardware and software upgrades. Dancerbabe donated her portion back to 3DP, was REAL nice of her, so we have almost $200 in the 3DP account now including monies left over from our fund-raiser a couple years back. In the past week we suffered a major online crash at 3dpNet and it is now in the process of being re-built. Most of the content was recovered but members will have to rejoin and create new Profiles. I’ve made quite a bit of progress working on 3dpNet over the past 4 days and we “should” be pretty much back to normal within a week or so. A few of the new changes are: Profiles have been beefed-up, the interface has been remodeled and the default screen-size has been increased to 1280, up from the old 1024 standard. More changes and updates will be added soon. We have TWO new movies on the ePod! The new movies are “Pacific Rim” and the other, by special request, is “The Conjuring”. The viewing quality of the latest few movies should be somewhat better as I am now converting them at a 25% greater resolution, approximately the equivalent of an 480p HD movie. This means you need a minimum 1.5 mbps download speed. If you have ANY problems streaming or viewing the movies PLEASE let me know! You can find the ePod on the main MENU in 3dpNet. Open the ePod link and you will see options to directly open the eRadio and eCinema. CONTACT: deighv@live.caNew Recipe Page

Conquering The Mall
by Kyra Meow, Sentinel Reporter This is me, your favorite Galaxy Mall Super Extra Chief (I've already forgotten the exact title so i am making this one up. I don't know, it sorta has a ring to it, don't you think? ) I started 3D in 3DP. When I arrived, nobody was creating and we were living on whatever the old extinct creators left in place. So I decide to start creating, i downloaded dozens of program trying to see which one was the easiest. I had the pleasure of bugging deighv to no end when I finally got vivaty. That was a program that worked (kind of). I bugged deighv some more, especially on re-sizing my table. Originally it was the size of the empire state building and then my fountain was the size of a microbe. At the time the mall chief was overwhelmed with rl problems, so deighv had to do the checking and I was an eager beaver. So, naturally, I kept on jumping around him asking, "did you check?" a lot! Sadly, and of course, with my item sizing problems, my items were rejected many times before they finally passed inspection. But I managed and I started making a bunch of items. You may be asking yourself where are they? Well ... 3dp crashed and all was lost. And, then, my computer crashed and what are still in my shop is all that is left. I have time to remake a bunch! Of course, I'll never catch up to medeusa lol Anyway, back to my story ... so my impatience got the better of me and I finally proposed to apply at the mall as an assistant. I don't remember how long it took, but pretty soon I was the big boss of the galaxy mall and that, my friends, is how I got the job!Amazing TV Find

The 3dpNet website has been toasted during a scheduled update and I may have to re-create it again from scratch, meaning everyone will have to rejoin I'll keep everyone posted with any news. Deighv posted "Good News! I managed to salvage all the custom pages and folders I had created for 3dpNet so it's just a matter of recreating them on the new site, whew! Now all I need are a few 32 hr days and a tanker of coffee to get most everything back in order, hehe Unfortunately everyone will still have to rejoin and create new accounts but that part is easy!"Movie Review

Deighv tells us "No new news on 3DP, as far as I know Toxic should have it back up some time within the next two weeks." "I have just added 8 more 3D worlds to the 3D Chat menu in 3dpNet. The new movie "After Earth" is loaded on the ePod. "Avatar: SCE (Special Collectors Edition)" is also now available on the ePod. It has about 23 extra minutes of footage compared to the regular theatrical version and is about 3 hrs long so make LOTS of popcorn.

I am creating a new website called http://www.3darchive.ca as sort of a storage/display area for all things 3D (VRML) that members of the various blaxxun sites may have made over the years. It'll be setup kinda like 3dpNet, like a community/social network. Creators will have their own Gallery and have access to special tools/downloads. It’s still under construction and I'll let everyone know when it's ready. Until then get your 3D items out of the closet and ready to upload!"
