Two Croquet-Specific Blender Tutorials


Croqueteer Waufrepi has created two tutorials to complement the DMU guides. These are focused on Blender, but are specific to Croquet and will show you how to set up your Croquet exporter in Blender and how to export a Blender 3D model in a format that is compatible with Croquet. Cool!

Cobalt released!



For those of you who have been drooling over this release, it is finally available for download. Be aware that this is a very early build, so you can expect some buggy-funkyness.

Information on Cobalt can be found here: http://www.opencroquet.org/index.php/Cobalt

For the purists, the Monticello repository is here: http://croquet-src-01.oit.duke.edu:8886/

Tutorial for Building a Simple Croquet World, Part 1: Setting Up a Croquet World


I am working on putting together a tutorial on how to build your own Croquet world. The entire tutorial will consist of 1.) setting up a Croquet world 2.) customizing a Croquet world and 3.) connecting to other Croquet worlds.

I have finished the first installment of the tutorial series, which will instruct you on how to set up your own Croquet world. Because of the volume of the tutorial, it made sense to make it available as a PDF.

You can download the PDF here.

As always, your feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome and encouraged.
