Canada release title: "Virtual Reality Studio II" and "Virtual Reality Studio 2.0"), also known as "3D Construction Kit 2.0", is a utility for creating 3D worlds inFreescape . Developed byIncentive Software and published byDomark , it was released in 1992 as asequel to the original and highly successful "3D Construction Kit ".Features
"3D Construction Kit II" takes full advantage of the refined
Freescape engine to take 3D graphics to a new level. Compared to the original game, "3D Construction Kit II" has double the number of controls and commands for added complexity and flexibility. Transparent objects can be created and even ones that fade over time. The game supports rounded objects such as flexicubes and spheres, which were not possible in the original "3D Construction Kit". This feature is clearly emphasised in the game's modified cover art. The sound effects editor is also an improvement, allowing players to add sounds and music to their virtual creations. The program comes with a library of predesigned 3D "clipart" aimed at novice users who may not know how to create more complex structures themselves. Another new feature allows files to be saved as stand-alone programs that do not require the game to run.Like the original "3D Construction Kit", the program came packaged with a tutorial on
VHS video cassette.Version
Unlike its predecessor, "3D Construction Kit II" was only released on three platforms.
