New AfterEllen.com 3D chat room (beta)

Discuss the AfterEllen.com chat room (www.afterellen.com/chat) here!

NOTE: technical questions, issues, etc. should be addressed to Google in their Lively Help section or their Lively Help Group. This thread is for more general, non-technical questions or discussion about the chat room.

Here are a few tips to get started:

YOUR AVATAR

1. To move your avatar, click on it, hold down the mouse, then move the mouse around - OR just move your cursor to wherever you want to go in the room and double-click.

2. Click on your avatar then the "animations" tab to make it dance, wave, etc. Your avatar will also perform pre-programmed actions when you type in commonly-used acronymns like LOL and ROFL, or words like "laugh" or "no."

3. Add a Display Name to your avatar by clicking on your avatar and change the name in the field at the top of the pop-up window

OTHER AVATARS

1. Right-click on other avatars to choose a list of actions to perform (kiss, slap, hug, high-five, etc.)

OBJECTS

1. Click on objects to see what you can do with them (usually "sit" or "play animation")
