VR Project Final...

THE VR project with a story to tell...  Anyway, I suggest you view this with a powerful computer.  The simulation environment is very big.  A PII 400 should be good on the low end.  Second, alot of details were added to this simulation.  Such as, accessing external models, voice overs, java scripts LOD nodes (fountains) and many others too numerous to list.  Look around you may find something interesting...  But stick with the story as the world is boring with out it.  Since the speed of the simulation is very important alot of models were removed so that the simulation isn't bogged down.  Any non-critical actor in the story was removed.  This includes volleyball players, cars and many buildings...  This was done for speed purposes.

The story:

You awake on a beach in the middle of the day.  Something in the back of your head tells you that you want the TRUTH.  In fact you need the TRUTH.  The search for the TRUTH has consumed you.  The story begins when you turn around to hear what the first actor has to say.  You will then be led on a quest in which you talk to 9 different funny people!  Each will fill you in a little more as the story progresses.  One thing you notice about the would is that it doesn't quite look real.  Things look a little "off"  ...  You'll have to discover why!

Below is a psuedo map of the region you will explore include the approximate spots where each character is and the order in which you must talk to them...

  STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET          STREET

                                       BUILDING  8                                                                                                    7  BUILDING

                                                                                                                                                            HOUSE

                                                                                                                                                             5  

  STREET                        STREET                STREET                      STREET                              STREET                              STREET

                                                               HOUSE                                                     4 HOUSE

                                                                3           

                                                                                                    1

                                                              2                                Start

Start:: where you start

1::  first dude

2::  surfer boy

3::  smiley chic girl

4::  flamer man

5::  bucky boy!

6::  xray man

7::  queen woman

8::  frenchie

9::  final homer

The list of character names is amusing huh???  Anyway, have fun and try not to get lost.  Basically you will first talk to people 1 - 4 then cross the street and talk to 5 then go through the house and talk to 6, you will then walk to the end of the block and talk to 7.  After this you will walk the rest of the block and let the bird out of the cage.  You will follow the bird across town where you will meet 8.  8 will tell you to go into the door.  Here you will be taken to a room with 9...  He will give you two options, the red options will end the simulation while the blue one will restart it!!

Have fun!!!
