A method and apparatus for automatically decorating a three-dimensional model is disclosed. The method may include receiving an image file from a user. The image file is to decorate a surface of a three-dimensional model upon display of the three-dimensional model in a simulated three-dimensional world. The method may also include automatically formatting the image file for display on the three-dimensional model in response to receiving the image file, and storing the formatted image file in a database.

Automatic decoration of a three-dimensional model

The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for providing a dynamic and scalable topology for virtual world environments. In one embodiment, the method may include determining, in response to a request of a user computer system to transfer from a first place to a second place in a virtual environment, an instance of a second place that satisfies the request. The method may also include directing the user computer system to a game server that provides the determined instance of the second place.

Dynamic and scalable topology for virtual world environments

The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for building online games. In one embodiment, the method may include providing a user interface that facilitates user selection of parts, and placing a set of parts selected by a user in a three-dimensional (3D) world. The method may also include joining parts within the set based on their proximity to each other in the 3D world to form one or more models for a game, and sending a model file for each of these models to a server via a network for use by various users.
