OZML is a 3d xml language similar to 3dml and VRML.

I needed ozml to approach web design in a differently. I wanted to soften the gap between making 3d websites and the current 2d websites. For me, who is not much of a programmer, php is much easier to understand than C# and to connect to a db with C# the challenge seemed like a big leap.

But with this I can pull data from a db and create dynamic XML files. So the possibilities are huge for me now. This weekend I will create a Unity app to Vj at a local chiptune show and people in the crowd will be able to vote for some elements of the visuals with their phones. And I will definitely be using this to create persistant 3d worlds full of procedural things.

Here is an example:

Code:

<?php
$loop = 0;
while($loop<100){
   $loop2 = $loop-50;
   $loop3 = $loop*2;
   print '
<object 
   type="cube" 
   id="'.$loop.'" 
   material="mat1" 
   size="2,'.$loop.',2" 
   position="'.$loop2.','.$loop2.',20" 
   rotation="'.$loop3.',0,20"
></object>';
   $loop++;
?>

will create something such as:



You can read the doc at http://wiki.xxiivv.com/Ozml.

We will publish a OZML browser(Dorothy) soon, you don't need to have Unity installed to create these environements, just a plain text file.

The fog is a bit tricky, 0.015 is a good setting.

Code:

<scene background="240,240,240" fog="240,240,240,0.015" fov="60" />

Heya zeroZshadow here, the programmer on this project.

There has been some nice progress.
Mouse now locks, so its easyer to look around
The world updates itself every 10 seconds.
you can hit I to see what version you are running (so if you vind a bug, please say the version)
For everyone creating worlds themselfs, you can now hit R to force it updating ^^ no need to wait 10 seconds.

Still trying to fix some smaller bugs like the breaking camera rotation, but slowly getting somewhere.

that's really cool and useful, I haven't messed much with unity's networking and didn't realize it could allow for these sorts of things
