E-maginer Luxury Pack provides Web developers with an innovative 3-D design tool and Web publishing package. Like E-maginer World Modeller, Cryonetworks's other 3-D application, E-maginer Luxury Pack is based on the company's original SCOL programming language. However, the Luxury Pack offers a more extensive selection of objects and textures to help create multiuser sites where people can meet and interact directly with others.

The first steps to using E-maginer Luxury Pack are simple and easy to comprehend. Users are guided through a series of setup pages, which, once completed, generate a basic Web site that is then connected to the Internet. During the customization portion of the setup, developers are given the option to host from their personal computers or on the Internet. Luckily, ISP partners in most countries provide free hosting of the E-maginer site, and you can link to them easily.

Once up and running, the developer is able to shape his or her world by changing the properties of the scene. These properties include the objects located in the world, the materials used to create these objects, and effects such as lighting that are associated with each object. It is also possible to upload photographs, sounds, and even movies to use as backgrounds or textures. With the click of a button, the 3-D scene is displayed as visitors to the site will see it. Developers also have the ability to update their E-maginer sites by using built-in FTP capabilities. Other features allow developers to start mailing lists and create news groups.

Using the World Modeller option, developers can systematically plan the architecture of each room by choosing from a wide variety of colors, textures, sizes, and shapes. Although time-consuming, this feature gives users the ability to make unique virtual landscapes with more than 6,000 textures and 1,000 3-D objects. Less adventurous developers can choose from 14 preloaded 3-D virtual worlds, including a nightclub, a theater, a spaceship, a cartoon landscape, and others.

Each world is complete with its own objects, functions, and soundtrack. For instance, the cartoon world provides backgammon, the game of tag, and the freedom to explore a funny cartoon universe. In comparison, the spaceship world is complete with teleportation and paintball. Inside each world, up to 10 guests can appear as personalized avatars, and can be invited to chat, listen to music, share files, and play games.

E-maginer Luxury Pack is successful because no multimedia expertise is needed to create powerful 3-D environments. Experts and novices are given the opportunity to create virtual communities and meet people from all over the world. --Rich Ting

Amazon.com Product Description

E-maginer is a revolutionary tool that enables users to create their own 3-D Web sites. The product has been developed using SCOL, a programming language written by Cryonetworks. Users can generate their own 3-D worlds on the Internet, letting 10 other users join you to chat, play, listen to music, and exchange data. Visitors will appear in your universe as personalized avatars to join your virtual community.

ISP partners in most countries provide free hosting of the site. Fourteen thematic worlds and thousands of textures and 3-D objects will allow you to create an infinite number of virtual universes. Seventeen functionalities, from paintball to jukebox, can also be included in your Web site. With the E-maginer interface, you can easily modify already created worlds, or you can use the World Modeller option to create the whole architecture of your universe.

The E-maginer Luxury Pack is a more extensive version that includes a generic universe with textures and objects attached to it. Users can add any textures, objects, or music by downloading them from other Web sites, purchasing the One Universe CD, or creating some themselves. The CD includes 14 3-D universes, 6,000 textures, 1,000 3-D objects, 17 functionalities, the World Modeller, and links to the free hosting ISPs. The 14 available universes are: sport, snow-surf-skate, scientist-hacker, music, cinema-theater, fan club, nightclub, cartoon, exotic/paradise, appartement/affaires (Domus), science fiction, renaissance, and mysteries.
