See this quiz-building tutorial using Unreal Tournament put together by Physics dept. instructional developers at Drexel University.

EDU-MUVE quote of the day: “…a chemistry student should be able to play with a biology student, each sharing the same space but being quizzed on different content. In this version of UT they would not be able to shoot each other but they could have a race.”

From this YouTube Machinima, the latest entry in the MUVE arena appears to be more about “singing songs, going to bars and watching movies” than education. But our comely host “Christina” starts in an orientation space nearly identical to the Linden Lab spot, including a walk downhill with rustic wooden signs.

See the HipiHi website (via machine-translation) and the dismissive Second Life Insider post from Feb 2.

Salacious tidbit - HipiHi’s senior managers hale from Wuhan - home city to Anshe Chung studios. Chung’s Guni Graef told me in November that AC Studios was hiring heavily from local multimedia design schools and had upped its staff to over 30! He sold a 10% stake to a German publisher two weeks ago.

Pure Gossip - Where could that capital be headed? It may not be coincidental that the HipiHi video is narrated in the first person by a young female character….

I have posted our latest Machinima on YouTube from our fledgling campus.
Several innovations you might steal:

• Create a giant logo up at about 250m and film backwards as you jump off.
• Create a duplicate of a campus building and then use camera controls to match a RL video shot of the building.
• Create a 2D chart graphic and then cut it into prims - turn them physical and drop them from the chart - on your avatar’s head! Hardest part of this is getting a single texture to align on every prim to the millimeter.

Created with a MacBook Pro, SnapzPro, iMovie and Garage Band.

TP to the campus and browse the website.
