Alice in Action (Software) - Java TM Programming (Introduction)

Alice in Action (Software)

    Software Alice in Action is one of more Java Programming in the world. Alice release at 1998 by Carnegie Mellon University. Alice uses drag and drop environtment to create animations with 3D models. This software very compatible for Windows XP, Windows 7 , Windows 8, and all of product OS from Microsoft. But, Alice in Action need good hardware for compiling. If you want to create a video 3D animation, you need some greatfully hardware like RAM, Memory, and VGA for compiling in the end of project. And the end of the project, you can also share to youtube. Because Alice in Action cooperate with youtube. Oke Start for the begening for Project.

When you was installing the software (Alice in Action) in you Computer. You can also run the launcher after install. When you open the launcher, you can also look like this :

It's the beginning of our project, where we must to choose one of the background of the world in project. Like condition or environtment in your project. It's so important to adjust the story of your project video. Choose the better you like. Specifically for ROOM (one of the Background), is just a small room. Not too board environtment if you choose it. After you choose one of them, you can look this :

This the screen when you successfull creating the world of your project. Dont forget to save first the our project ( in file on top of the screen) before you do the next step. Now, i will tell you about the tools of that screen.

The Tools 

This tools is important for addition many animation who Alice give to you. When you click that tools, you can look the world who you create before.

Because it is the 3D animations, there have x , y , z coordination in this project. It's so interesting for create your 3D animations as you like. You can install the newest version of alice in action for many animations when you addition your scene.

This is prosedural action who provided by alice action. It is automatic function to get move, turn, roll, and other else to your animations. Like animals, tree, things, and other else.
