wouldn't the client work like a browser would on the internet..
that was the impression i was getting from brian..
if we look at the client as the browser and the world as the net..
we download the client not the net..
some sites are set up to use flash and some are not..
but the browser would be able to see all those sites..
so basically what i am understanding is you have old uthervers with all it's stuff and all those little sites in those sections of it that are like older websites..
a zabay is a virtual world or considered a site on the 3d internet..
it has it's own url..
all those older utherverse sites should be able to be seen with the new client..
where the client we have now would not be able to see the new curio sites..
the new curio sites may not be set up for flash, but that doesn't mean the new client won't be able to see flash from the older sites..
from a lot of what i've heard it is for the most part back ported to support the old world..
if that is the case it should be able to see anything in it..
from what i am gathering,with curio it will be more uploading content to a server than it will be having to link things to other sites for them to work..
sort of like it is done in second life..
you upload your textures and mesh and animations to an asset server rather than say textures sitting on photo bucket..
i could be way off,but a lot of what i have heard so far sounds pretty similar to other content creation worlds i'm part of that have content uploaded rather than linked through scripts..although they allow scripts to still do that in the others..
flash and textures in the current utherverse are more or less just linked from the url they are sitting on through the client to our system ..
if our flash player is not up to par we can't see flash..
if the server our textures are sitting on crashes and kills off the link..it kills off our being able to see the textures in world..
because we are actually linked through the client to those outside sites..
curio sounds to me like it will be eliminating a lot of the outside linking and handling more of the asset load itself..
again this is just me picking up pieces along the way like everyone else..but just seeing similarities in a many things..things that i think will be very nice for creators and users in the new world..
if i am close in my assumptions anyways hehehe
i could be 10 miles off and just spinning tires here as well lol
