alice-teacher Alice 2.4 Quad View

[mt_cwaddle]

Thanks so much for your suggestion - it really helped!  My students are having so much fun creating and learning!  Even students who struggle in other "core" classes are feeling so good about what they are able to create and accomplish!  Alice is great!

Carol

>From Wanda Dann, director of the Alice project…

Add the statement camera.getAGoodLookAt(ground) with a 20 second duration...  the ground is way up, up, up and away from
where the scene has been constructed.

Unfortunately, three of the Quad view panes (UpperRight, LowerLeft, and LowerRight) are pre-set to view the ground location from three different angles....
so all the camera sees in these three panes is white space...and it is too far away from the scene to ever zoom in correctly.

The fog settings, as Matjaz noted, also has an impact…

All the best,

Anyone have suggestions why quad view won't show the scene or objects from top, front, or right in Alice 2.4?  All we have are blue screens and no amount of zooming in or out seems to help.
