CHAPTER 8
An avatar's eye level must be aligned with the scene's origin to appear correctly in the Player.
Creating a Portal
Portals link Atmosphere environments. When a user enters a Portal in the Atmosphere Player, a new environment
is loaded and the viewer fi nds themselves in a new place. Portals are represented in Player by glowing red, blue and
green panes which rotate in space just above eye level. Portals are created and positioned using the Scene Editor.
With the Scene Editor active, select the fourth icon from the left on the Scene toolbar. Click on this tool, then click at
the position where you wish to add the Portal.
With the Portal object selected, the Inspector palette includes a Target URL parameter. Enter the URL of the
environment to which you wish to link.
