Webcarzz Launches CarStructor Creativity Tool

2009_01_07_webcarz.jpgIt seems like the current "hot" concept in kids virtual worlds is creativity, and on that topic Webcarzz has pre-launched its "CarStructor"—a 3D vehicle creation tool for its upcoming virtual world specifically targeted at boys, which is currently in closed beta.

Users can create vehicles—such as cars, trucks, planes or motorcycles—by starting with a basic canvas consisting of two cubes and a set of wheels. By clicking and dragging users can pull or shorten the cubes into chosen shapes before customizing their vehicle with colors and textures.

Once finalized and saved, every custom car can be posted in the Webcarzz Gallery, where it can be voted on, shared and used for racing and exploring in the Webcarzz world once it has been launched.

“CarStructor provides a simplified introduction to modeling and modifying 3D shapes and also provides children with the basics of geometry,” said Nique Fajors, Executive Vice President of Webcarzz. “Children’s minds are full of imagination, and CarStructor opens up more roads for them to explore.”
