There's a pretty big new update to Equimake, the free-to-use platform for collaborative real-time 3D creation on the web (and a proud partner to New World Notes): It now comes with 900 free Unreal-based 3D assets to use in your scene-building, and there's a User Presence "avatar" indicator, to make collaborative interaction easier within the 3D world.
The assets are from the Unreal Engine Marketplace, part of the "Permanent Free Collection" which includes a license for use outside of Unreal (I.E., in Equimake), and run the gamut from basic everyday objects to full immersive 3D scenes like a hipster cafe and outdoor park. (At right.) And new assets will be added to the platform library roughly every 1-2 weeks.
The User Presence indicator looks a bit like Google Docs when multiple people are working on the same document, except in 3D. Look:

"Gives a sense of presence and is more interactive," as leads developer Alex explains. "Like, 'oh my friend is trying to build this part of the world, let me help them.'" (I put "avatar" in quotes because the User Presence indicator is not exactly that, and Equimake plans to add genuine avatars in a future update.)
