I needed a break from the work that presents sections of the book that connect to the personalities that are clicked. It's really kind of overwhelming. There's a lot of things that can go wrong.
Anyway, I've shifted back to doing some 3d stuff. The 3d view now has 7 galaxies floating around Havona in the personality view. I want to place something above the infinite spirit's sphere around Paradise that has a kind of arc from the sphere to the galaxy that appears when they are clicked, because each Master Spirit controls a galaxy on the other side of Paradise.
I think what would work if you click on a Master Spirit sphere or a galaxy, it displays the arc showing that the Master Spirit residing on that sphere controls that galaxy. It's a bit of work because i need to connect those spheres to the ability to hide or show spheres. I believe I did that for the Jesus papers so maybe I can use that code to make it work because, when a sphere is selected and it shows the arc, the last arc has to disappear.
I removed the Jesus paper animations. They are just too primitive and I don't want anyone leaving because of underdeveloped scenes. I'll come back when I've figured out how to bring in scene information and remove scenes that appear in the current scene. Stuff like, for instance, when Jesus visits the temple, the scene shifts to a close up view within the temple that has shrubbery, people walking around and all the other things that need to be seen that fit the section. The problem is, three.js, the 3d engine that creates the scenes cannot be overwhelmed with huge scene files that temporarily freeze the scene waiting for downloading object information.
There is a way I can fill in information a bit at a time so that a smartphone won't be stuck downloading huge files. It'll take a bit of finesse to make that happen. I would love to have stuff like a glowing arc so that it's attractive. It can't all be about listening to the book because a personality is clicked. Although, it does allow the user to experience the actual interconnections between the personalities of the book and then see what the book says about that personality.
I can't imaging the personality tree being done quickly. I'd be lucky, at this rate, to be done in a couple of months.
The world needs the Urantia book. There are some really powerful visuals and videos of the Urantia book. As yet, though, I've yet to see something like what I'm building. I have the ability to show the incredible connections within the Urantia book. I've kept them in my head, but even after 35 years of weekly study group, it's difficult to continue to see in my imagination all the relationships between concepts, so this helps me to refresh all these connections.
Here I now have the ability to lay down these relationships with programs that manipulate tree based and 3d scene based presentations that do something, rather than just being there. I learned in my days as a contractor, that if you are to present information to executives, don't try to present everything at once. Normal human minds need to decide what they are interested in and then be able to drill down into what attracts them.
Adding languages sure complicated the papers for me but wow, it sure makes it possible to spread this to other countries. With all the wars and problems around the world, I believe with all my heart, that if the world understood the Urantia book, the world would realize that they can live forever and what they do here will last forever.
