World on the Web Beta Program Ending

A few months back, SpotON3D released a beta of its World on the Web Plug-in for Windows -- a revolutionary application which allows you to bypass the standalone browser, and to come directly into SpotON3D from inside of a web page. More recently, we issued a beta release of a Mac version of the plug-in. Both of these have been made available for everyone to use, directly from our web site and through our Facebook app.

During this beta phase, we have not take measures to restrict Web World access. That is, although you initially log in to SpotON3D, it has been possible to then log off and back into another virtual world, such as Second Life. Although we have permitted this up until now, the fact is that it took a great deal of time, effort and investment on our part to come up with a plug-in that provides a full client experience, something that no one else has been able to accomplish to date.

The World on a Web beta program is now approaching its end. As of January 5, 2012, access using our plug-in will be restricted to the SpotOn3D Network of Web Worlds. After that date, you will no longer be able to use the plug-in to access worlds which are not directly affiliated with SpotON3D.

If you have a particular project for which you'd like to continue using our World on the Web program after January 5, 2012, please get in touch with us at contact@spoton3d.com.

Meet Calypso Llewellyn and her Wonderful Hair!

Imaginative...stylish...brilliant. It's hard to come up with enough good adjectives to describe the products of Calypso Llewellen, a talented hair designer who recently brought her store "Hair Care" here to SpotON3D. If you go to her listings on SpotONSynergy, you will see page after page of styles to choose from, with more to come.




But it doesn't stop there. Besides traditional hair styles, Calypso has been working on some truly unique concepts for alternative hair...styles such as the teapot, hummingbird, and bunny (pictured below)!

I asked Calypso what the inspiration was for her more unusual designs. "I absolutely adore the weird and wonderful, and whilst scrolling through websites trying to find new ideas I came across this inventive idea of making realistic looking animal heads out of hair and wiremesh and making them into hair hats. Needless to say I found the idea fascinating and promptly started trying to figure out how I could incorporate this into virtual hair, and had the most wonderful fun doing so."

Calypso began making hair in Second Life about four years ago, in late 2007. Unable to find the styles that she wanted anywhere, she spent weeks learning how to build, adjust and shape, and finally managed to create what she had been searching for. She now has nearly 200 styles in circulation, and many more in the works. "I found that I had both the passion and the ability to build hair, and from then on I couldn't imagine doing anything else."

Besides making hair, Calypso enjoys scripting, which has helped her to create custom menu-driven systems for some of her hair. In real life, she is currently working on a degree and says that she loves a good horror story. But virtual worlds will always be an important part of her life. "The real world has its priorities, but my home, and my good friends, sad as it may be, are definately pixelated!"

We definitely are happy to have Calypso here, and look forward to seeing what she will come up with next!

Her musical influences lean towards roots music, spanning country, folk, rock and blues, R&B and POP. She performs original material and fresh arrangements of covers, both popular and eclectic.

“TerryLynn Melody shows a tremendous innate understanding of the essence of compelling song writing.

Her songs are finely crafted but have a raw quality that is delivered with intelligence and captivating emotion“ - Otha Young - Grammy Winning songwriter - "The Sweetest Thing"

"TerryLynn is one of those gifted artists that lights up the stage....and when you listen to her velvet voice, all seems right at that moment in time." - Tracey Edwards - Host - Fox 4 TV's - The Morning Blend

Songs like “We Can Be” manage to captivate the most minimal details and get to the bottom of things by singing personal, delicate, and expansive music. TerryLynn joins enthusiasm with a keen sense of phrasing which is something essential for a vocalist…something she calls genuine. " ...
