Bonjour,
For those interested by web3D and VET technology, it appears that
outcries about the new license scheme finaly reached the
ears of some Viewpoint executives and forced them to ease their
policies a bit.
A news was released today with the following content(usefull excerpts
followed by my comments) :
"(...)After careful consideration, we have decided to provide
full access to our Developer Central site to licensed and
non-licensed developers alike (...)We will provide this
access at least until we launch our full-featured
authoring and compiling tool, which we expect to occur in
the third quarter of this year."
This means that the XML-reference guid (the core documentation for
anything above a nice hobbyist display of a funny rotating VET object ...) is
again on-line without
restriction. I strongly recommend anyone interested to site-suck it
quickly before it vades again in the void ...
"For licensed developers, we are easing the restrictions on
use of Viewpoint?s Communication API feature to permit
interactivity between user interface elements in the HTML
page and the Viewpoint scene."
The full signification of this is not clear yet.
It means that it is now possible again, with the $900/year lciense, to
pilote the VET scene from the enclosing HTML page but it is not clear
if more complexe interactions, such as real-time data feed, is now
allowed.
"We will soon be introducing licensing programs for
not-for-profit organizations, students, and educational
institutions"
It is not clear neither from this if renewable licenses for hobbyist
and things similar will resume or if new but currently unknwown
schemes will prevail.
