With support to other languages besides Chinese it could have a big market.

This file came from the forums at http://www.hipihi.com and was prepared by the Hipihi company.

There should be an annoucement about this forum on the Hipihi web site this Monday.

The file is available now.

The Hipihi prim editor has some features that Second Life’s prim editor doesn’t, such as being able to select multiple objects and align them with each other by x, y,z or all axes.

A document with screenshots of the Chinese interface annotated with English translations should be available very shortly, if it’s not already been made available. The new piece of information already exists but may by waiting for possible final tweaking and a decision by Hipihi on how to make it available.

While this is of course not as nice as having a true English version of the program, it should make it easy enough to test the program and the prim editing system that those who didn’t perform thorough tests of Hipihi earlier due to the language issue should give it another look with the new documention.

SL builders looking to expand their market should examine Hipihi now so they can start pressuring Hipihi and Linden Lab to makes the prim systems fully compatible and interoperable.

Both companies claim to be working toward a 3D internet. Both companies should demonstrate therir committment to this ideal by adopting a standard prim format so that objects can used in both virtual world systems, just like jpg files can be viewed in any browser.

They were not apparently shown in the demonstration video.

There’s talk of them creating an economic system within HiPiHi World, but last I looked no timelines or specifics. ‘Soon’.

Just a slight correction, Hipihi does not literally translate to “The World Exists Because Of You.”

The Chinese derived “hipihi” from 3 words; “I”, “Hi” and “Hapi” (from the phonetically similar “Happy”. This is all explained on their “Logos” page here: http://www.hipihi.com/hipihi_logos.html
