I have (but didn't make) a Smurf and Smurfette avatar (3D model you can control) for Active Worlds (Hole world) you might be interested in.

OK, guess I should provide more info about what Active Worlds is (http://activeworlds.com/) and which worlds to go in to see the Smurf avatars: Cubed and Hole world (Cubed is more Smurflike--green, lots of trees, hills, a simple Smurf Village mockup, etc).

You can make your own Smurf world if you want (can get a trial world for a month, but then have to pay like $80/year if you want to keep it) but can create practically anything you want once you learn how to model (create 3D objects) and build.

I didn't create the Smurf avatars but did modify them so their color was more accurate, some inner polygons were removed to increase frame rate, and surface settings adjusted so they reflect light better and more realistically.

Anyway, check out Active Worlds (AW) and all the interesting things people have built there. More of my stuff can be seen at http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/sites.html

Oh and for those who may not know what an avatar is, it's just a character you control (like a player's character in a 2D/3D game). But the Smurf avatars allow many actions compared to most games' limited movement (walk, run, jump, etc).

Hi Eep! Your work on the avatars is impressive - it looks like it takes an incredible amount of time to work on those figures.

How long does it take? And can these figures be used in multiplayer games?

Hi, Sassette. I finally found this post I made years ago! Now that I'm a registered user (dunno why I wasn't before), I'll answer your question (if you're still around).

Anyway, again, I didn't make these avatars, specifically, but how long it takes to make them depends on the modeller. These are RenderWare script (RWX) avatars and can only be used in Active Worlds (another one by someone else--search for "smurf"; no direct link). I've seen a smurf avatar for Half-Life (the original) here and here.

I made a bunch of smurf avatars (generic, Handy, Brainy, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Greedy, Vanity, Grandpa, Hefty, Lazy, Grouchy, Miner, and Harmony). The base model probably took me a couple hours initially, then after tweaks, probably a couple more hours--and it still needs some work.

The links in your previous message are cool...the renderings look very good. As for the last link, unfortunately you need to be a member to view the attachment pics [Frown]

I would hate to become a memeber just to see a pic then have no use for the site afterwords.

But thanks for sharing the other cool sites Eep [Smile]

Stay Smurfy,
Raven Child.

Yea, I had to become a member too but if you're worried about giving out your email address, you can use an anonymous email site like mailinator.com.
