Talk:Adobe Atmosphere

Comparison with other techs
It's not true to say Unlike VRML, which displayed three-dimensional "models," Atmosphere focused on explorable "worlds" (later officially called "environments"), which were linked together by "portals," analogous to the World Wide Web's hyperlinks. Google "VRML World" - over a million hits. The file extension of VRML is .wrl, short for World. And of course inside a VRML world you can have a hyperlink to another VRML world. So, I don't understand what this paragraph is trying to say. I'm sure that Atmosphere did distinguish itself from VRML in some way other than being proprietary, but the article does not tell me how.

Misc Data
Atmosphere Plugin ran as a subcomponent of the Viewpoint Player. Viewpoint stopped supporting this a while before Atmosphere was dropped.

Atmosphere initially was based on parametric primitives, with support for Viewpoint animated meshes. Later in development they added a mesh type of primitive, for which the Builder would import a Viewpoint mesh and store it. This feature was never debugged fully, with the last version of Atmosphere still displaying significant memory leakage (4KB/s for single poly mesh).

Due to the use of the Viewpoint Player for resource management, Atmosphere would never unload resources (textures or .atmo files) until the browser was closed. This made the portal system basically useless.

2010 Community Update
Atmo Lives!!

Beginning November 2009, a new multi-user chat-server is once again online and the Atmo Worlds are no longer silent. The opening of the new Atmo Homeworld on October 29th 2010 heralded the start of the 8th Annual Atmo 3D Halloween Party. Thanks to the establishment of the AtmoJunkies: Atmosphere Addicts Anonymous Facebk page the original Atmosphere Community has gathered together once again.

A few people have experienced problems accessing Atmo Worlds with newer operating systems and browsers, usually however, manually reinstalling the plugin has solved most access difficulties. Currently there is no reason that users of these IE browsers and Windows Vista/7 should not be able to successfully access Atmo Worlds. Contact Donza ThreeDee to begin receiving the AtmoJunkies Newsletter if you are not currently subscribed. Find links below to visit the new Atmo Homeworld, the AtmoJunkies Facebk page, and the browser plugin/player.
