Atmosphere

Welcome to the Atmosphere Page

Atmosphere Tutorials This section of where you can find Adobe Atmosphere Tutorials. Most are in the form of videos, and are in the .ogv Format. Click on the above title for Atmosphere Tutorials. Here are some links. https://jfdhobbies.com/AtmoTips1.html https://jfdhobbies.com/AtmoTips2.html https://jfdhobbies.com/AtmoTips3.html https://jfdhobbies.com/Atmo2HostsTutorial-Win10.html	Public Worlds Listing Click on the above heading to access the Public Worlds Listing. The Public Worlds Listing page shows all Atmosphere Worlds that were made public by their creators. This is made possible by the use of a ctl file (worldname.ctl). To make a world public, the creators of the worlds must place a line of code like this: Private = N If the world is intended to be private, then the code is: Private = Y or omit this line. (default is private) There are other lines of information that should be placed in the control file such as follows: Description = World Name MaxPeople = 20 (or any number) Headroom = 5 ( MaxPeople / 4 ) DefaultChat = Y ( N for no chat ) Private = N ( or Y or omit ) ModeratorPass = JoyBTWpVPC2ho (your code will be different) BroadcastPass= JoyBTWpVPC2ho (your code will be different) Language=English (or another) Category = General Chat (or other) Contact = you@yoursite.com (or your website)

Public World Stats Click on the above heading to access the Public World Stats. This will show a listing of Populated worlds (if any), and the number of people in these worlds. Anyone may enter a 3D Atmosphere World if you already have the Atmosphere Player Plugin installed. Atmosphere will also run on a MAC with Windows emulation (Parallels is one and by now there may be another.) If you have a Video card that is supported by the Atmosphere program, then you should be in Acceleration Rendering mode when you enter an Atmosphere world. If not, then your video card is not on the support list. You will have to download the free HWCONFIG.ZIP *program, (also virus free and safe -- I still use it!) HERE. link is needed here** ATTENTION ! I have renamed HWCONFIG.EXE to HWCONFIG.ZIP because many webhosts or browsers do not allow EXE files to be downloaded. Once you download the file, you must rename it to HWCONFIG.EXE as it needs to have the EXE ending. I always check files that I download from the internet with my AV to be safe, and though this file is virus free, I always recommend that you check it with your own AV, or MalwareBytes, or FixmeStick. This is what I do and have remained malware and virus free for many years. Install it, run it, then follow the directions to configure the Atmosphere program to use your video card. Once completed, enter any Atmosphere world. You should now have Hardware Acceleration Rendering. All Atmosphere worlds ( 3D environments) must be viewed using Hardward Acceleration to be displayed correctly. I recommend that you test this by clicking Eric Chan's environment called "South Seas Chat" below. Its a simple environment and should load in quickly. It should appear clearly on your screen. Try other environments below such as "Lostnight" by the atmosphere development team. It should also appear chrystal clear. If not, check to be sure that Hardware accelaration shows up in the Display tab in the player's Preferences. If you cannot see the Preferences option, Right-Click in the environment window, Click Window, Click Preferences, then click on the Display tab. Both "Preferred Render" and "Active Render" should read as "Hardware (Direct3d)" Above this block, there is a section where you can find out about the Atmosphere Tutorials. You can access the tutorials by clicking there or simply click Atmosphere Tutorials. You will then be taken to the Tutorials page. You will find a video tutorial that will show how to install HWCONFIG.EXE and how to use the program to configure your Atmosphere Player plug-in as well as other tutorials and tips.

Here are some of my Atmosphere Worlds After implementing https:// these links no longer work. I will have to look for a work-a-round!

Click on the image A 3D World of a small section of Cydonia region on Mars at 36N x 12W. There is a synchronized sci-fi spaceship that users can fly by entering word commands in the chat line. Created from a DEM file.	Click on the image A 3D World of the largest volcano in our solar system. Olympus Mons is an inactive volcano at present. It is Huge!!! Created from a DEM file.	Click on the image A 3D World called Town. This is a sci-fi world. I placed a spaceship in it that visitors can fly. Word commands are like the ones in Cydonia. There is also a Chat bot than visitors can communicate with.	Click on the image. A 3D World called SpaceVoyage. An interesting world that visitors enter through a room in a space ship which "flying" in some remote region of space. Take the lift to the upper deck and click HELP on Panel.	Click on the image Lostnight was created by the Atmosphere Development Team. I made one modification by adding a moving water element.
Click on the image South Seas Chat was created by Eric Chan. I have placed it here as a memory of the earlier beta Builder, as it was called. Love the sunset.	Click on the Image Originally created by the Atmosphere Team, and modified by me. Added a Total Solar Eclipse, a few stars, and orange glow sky effect.	Click on the Image Island was created by me. You can hear birds and ocean waves. The tides rise and lower by the time of day or night. Dynamic lighting is used and the direction of sunlight moves by the hour. Nice effect!	World to be added in the future.	World to be added in the future.
