Designing will be opened to all:
Moove community is to live trough a Big-Bang expansion
A new Moove is coming

Moove is actively working on a
new version that
will certainly make it a very big hit on the Web, and will allow hundreds if not thousands of
users to create, modify and personalise all their environment including the avatar head, all this
with very user friendly tools.
No date has been even mentioned for the release, so we don't know if the next generation of Moove
is for this year or next, or in even in how many years… but it shall be coming. Moove is presently
looking for partners to make it the big thing… Does this means we are entering the Second Life path…
and ways? Well from the little information made available, we can think that Moove has a different
plan for the future and will au contraire make it a 3D world with even more free options and items than it is now.
Designers will be legions
With such user-friendly tools available, can you imagine the number of personal shops, pages and sites, with heads and more that will pop up on the Web? Designing will never have been made accessible to so many people… and this should drown any Moove designer fight over files copyright and exchange presently running in the community's background. There will be so many designers modifying heads, facial motions and furniture, so many files… impossible to keep track of the original file… hehe (I kind of like that).
Moreover, according to information Moove has made available on the Moove board, the new version will include Enhanced peer to peer technology. That means that automatic file download will finally work as it should… meaning you will not have to send a file to another user so that it can be seen for all, it will really load automatically (and fast enough). So no one can steel your very own personal face (and other files… furniture, outfits…). So there goes… the angry designers will be happy. But then again, anyone will be able to create or give away loads of stuff…
And everyone else too will be happy. Here's why: the new Moove version should include ''Fully skinned (game quality) avatars'', ''Further user customisation (including face editing)'', ''Material Editor'', Object ("Assembly") Editor, '' Editor for Post-Processing-Effects'', and ''Room Editor''.
Very little details about these changes have been made available by Moove (except a few
images made available here on TigreMoove) but we are told of a facial motion editor, as well as a motion editor… we can make the next
generation Moove actors move and talk (move the lips… the eyes… the rest too I guess hehehe…) as
we wish on our very own PCs … well, these must be also files we can exchange… That is why I predict
the thousand Web designers' sites. In any case, we can foresee the next Moove software upgrade will
completely change the Moove community… Moove is just about to go through a Big-Bang expansion
internationally (they also intend to multiply the languages support) and on the creativity side too.
Free Web philosophy
Another amazing news comes out of the Little information made available is that Moove clearly
is betting on the free Web philosophy… its free side will remain and this is what will help it beat
the other 3D worlds. All this put together means that anyone will be able to open a free account and
download tons of free stuff, faces, heads, actors, outfits, furniture and rooms, all personalized,
on the many, many new Web sites and shops to open.

Above pics show New Moove features with light and shadows
The following screen shots are just a glimpse at New Moove's user friendly tools possibilities.
It also gives an idea of what the actors will look like after the upgrade, but as everyone knows...
Moove's basic actors are not the sexiests... which doesn't mean they cannot become sexier.
Click the pictures to see them from closer and see more details and try to figure yourself what to expect...
(coming up). No particular information has been released about these tools, but the picture reveals
some details.
The Body Motion Editor
With the Body Motion Editor, Moove users will
apparently be able to add up postures to create movement of all the actor's body with the possibility
to control independently the lenght of time each posture lasts. This screen shot, though, shows only
2 postures aligned... Let's hope it will be possible to use more than 2 postures...
The Facial
Motion Editor
We see here a similar tool, with length of time control.
It looks as though this tool controls mainly the mouth, to make actors look like they are speaking...
On the left, we can see letters, and the mouth on the small pics looks like they are shaped to the
corresponding letter... But we cannot see any control tool for any part of the face... maybe it
loads some other file...
The Head Editor
The head editor will be included in actor studio... this is the gloss editor portion...
This tool is very similar to Brand World Tools,
the other software Moove creators have been working on these past years. The transfer to Roomancer
doesn't look like it's completed here... looks more like a sketch, but we can foresee what it will
be able to do if we use the Brand World Tools to create a 2D Face as seen on many Moove users' nickpage.
The head editor will be included in actor studio... this is the bump editor portion...
The Material Editor
This is the Material Editor, allowing to... hmmmm add textures to walls and floors? I'm not sure...
Let's not forget Moove is also announcing an Object ("Assembly") Editor, an Editor for Post-Processing-Effects (???what's that?), and a ''Room Editor''

Introduction
Mooveburgh, October 4th, 2007 - It had been a long time I wanted to start some kind of publication for (and about) the Moove community, but there used to be ''One'' already.
So I had joined One magazine's writting staff... I submitted texts in 2 issues, then 2 texts for a third issue... think it was the January 2007 issue. It never came out. One mag seems to have died along the way, following it's main human soul's departure for another country in RL.
Then Torrence came out with Crystal Angel magazine... And Wow, what a nice magazine is it ever!!! But I felt like something was missing all these times in Moove community: a space for plain news about the community, as well as a place for artists to express their art (well that space for artists did exist in One.... but it's gone now). But also, I want to do things my own way (well... as usual).
I had a clearer idea of what I wanted to do in the summer of 2007. Talking about it with a friend of mine, Graved1gger, I even gave it a name: The News of the (Moove) World, and I even made the logo, copying the famous British Weekly (is it a weekly? lol). But, after all, I felt that this name was lacking originality and might be prejudiciable. So On the Moove... seemed like saying what it had to say... I don't want it straight so... added a little Groove...
Deadlines are deadly, so I decided there will not be any deadlines at On the Moove. It will be updated as often as I can, some items may stay on front page longer, new stuff will be added as inspiration or news, or contributions (or courage) will come along. Of course, things would be better if we were a whole team, but this is also when trouble comes, as one counts on another... stuff doesn't come in... big stress ahead. So I prefer to start small, just me, and grow if needed and wanted... But even if we end up to be a whole bunch of contributors, I intend to: keep good control on the content and leave it an ''update anytime and as things flow in'' publication. Come back often as you never know when new stuff is published.
