Scott, Man, I'm really sorry I've not been in touch. But I am swamped. I really think you should give some consideration to getting a group project going with the users of your various products. It is a great way to create community spirit, encourage learning and foster growth in…

Hi Carlos: Thank you for purchasing our SoftF/X software. Although we position SoftF/X primarily as an animation software package with the modeler as an addedutility, we have found many people such as yourself to be very interested in the modeler. Hence we are currently developing a modeling specific tutorial. The…

Dear Rick Quisenberry: The shader color can not be set in the "Shader Preview Dialog." This priview dialog is used only to view the color and shader (texture) combination quickly so that the model does not have to be rendered every time you change the face color, shader color, and/or…

Scott – Thanks for your reply. I'm glad that you folks recognize the need for more 'how-to's" on the modeler. I am feeling my way around, and have made some progress. Perhaps you can give me a bit of a nudge… I'm trying to apply a procedural map to one…

Hi Rick: I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the modeling portion of SoftF/X. You are quite correct in that the modeler is quite sophisticated. We are currently working on a tutorial for the manual. We will let you know when it is completed. In the…

From: ASDG Animation Vendor A Forum · Byte By Byte December 21, 1994 11:51 PM

Rick, Although I'm not with Byte by Byte, I can answer this question. Soft F/X is likely a Win32s application. Microsoft mouse drivers prior to the most recent version will typically crash when a Win32s app is first run. This does not impact the machine, as you have discovered. You…

I've just received my copy of Soft F/X, which I'm running under Windows 3.11. I'm primarily interested in learning the modeler, so I tend to launch it without going through the Soft F/X. When I do this, I consitently get a 'Growstub' Application Error in the POINTER.DLL. I can continue…

Hi Doug: I am pleased that you are excited about SoftF/X. If your designers found Envisage easy, they will be blown away by the ease of use of SoftF/X. We implemented almost all of the suggestions from users of Envisage as well as worked closely with some Microsoft interface designers…

I'll order mine today! I am looking for a program as easy to use as Envisage, but for Windows. As I have said before, I have professional 3D guys who love 3D studio, but I also have some designers and artists who could never learn the interface. They want things…

Hi Doug: Good to speak with you again. SoftF/X is the new Windows 3.1/NT version of Envisage 3D. We have redesigned the interface to be completely Windows-standard.

Hi David: The modeler in SoftF/X offers basically the same features as did Envisage 3D for DOS with the exception of a new 2D Bezier drawing tool. The 2D Bezier drawing tool functions exactly as the one in Adobe Illustrator. The new SoftF/X modeler is much easier to use and…

From: David Hofmann Animation Vendor A Forum · Byte By Byte October 19, 1994 2:28 AM

You will have a demo with a tutorial? Never seen that, but it sure is a good idea. A demo of a complex program without any docs is useless. BTW how has the modeller changed since the DOS version? Are there deformation tools? -David

Quick couple of questions. Do you still offer a demo of Soft F/X as per Envisage? If so, is the cost still the same as per the Envisage demo? And finally, is Soft F/X set up to take advantage of SMP in NT machines? Please reply; I posted a similar…

Sean, I'm sure Bruce meant no offense when he pointed that the public posting of one's home phone number is not a practice CIS encourages. The recent piece on 20/20, or one of those other tv magazine programs, pointed quite well how such postings can lead to grief. As for…
