This restructuring includes a consistent internal skeletal and joint structure for each super class in the gallery (Biped, Quadruped, Flyer, Swimmer, Prop). The consistent internal structure allows for a class hierarchy needed for more faithful implementation of inheritance (an object-oriented concept) than does Alice 2. (Note that introductory students do not need this feature but more advanced student do.) </span></div><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Lucida Grande', Arial; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 19.5px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> </p><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Lucida Grande', Arial; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 19.5px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.2em; ">The design of Alice 3 gallery models is joints-based (rather than subparts-based as used in Alice 2). Creating animations using components of an object now involves manipulation of the joints of an object instead of the sub-parts of an object. This may seem to be a subtle change, but it allows the use of a soft-skin for the models, creating more realistic animations when a component of a model is animated. For example, an object kicking its leg outward will no longer move outside its clothing, exposing a bare leg. </span></div><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Lucida Grande', Arial; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 19.5px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "> </p><div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Lucida Grande', Arial; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 19.5px; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); text-align: left; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.2em; ">This redesign of the gallery means that worlds created in Alice2.x, and worlds created in Alice </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.2em; ">3.0 </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.2em; ">Beta , can not be imported into Alice 3.1.
