John, Greg Patton (GrPatton) on AOL has written a utility that converts DXFs to SEGs. The utility is in Hashes forum on CIS. Maybe you could incorporate gregs utility into your conversion program. I would LOVE to buy 3D clip that could be used in Animation Master efficiently. Hope this…

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Had quite a bit of work to do this week. Does InterChange work with Animation Master?
Shucks, thanks! I guess I am. It's very kind of you to call my work amazing. Which renderings have you seen? They seem to be stirring up alot of interest these days. Thanks again for the note:) – Rod

Hi Peter, Your messages are number 315 and 316. Somehow they didn't make it to the Demo Team section (they were in Section 1). Do you want me to repost them here? Sorry you didn't get an answer. Gotta keep trying! hugs Lily
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> While I didn't really think about clipping, that is something which affects every shape. Of course, if a triangle ever got that close in 3D, I think it would crash through the screen.
A 3-D rotating pelvic bone?? Now that is kinky! hehe
Hi Joel, You need MACzip to unzip files. Try using the MAC File Finder, GO MACFF, to locate it. Then you shouldn't have any trouble unzipping files. Becareful, tho, that you don't download programs for PCs. You won't have any trouble viewing text files, but programs wouldn't run correctly. Always…

TapeRecorder Trip Tone?
Message #1013
I would like any information available on a way to use a regular cassette player to interface with a PC. The method would have to be something that any receipient of the cassette tape could employ to have his tape recorder actually advance a PC slide show. Any technology would…
Josh, I am _very_ impressed with Imphobia. It's one of the cleanest virtual mags I've seen. If this group comes up with any position papers or such for submission to Imphobia, let me know so I can offer the promotional text I have here in adjunct. We have the ability…
Nils, CompuServe supports the full 127-character ASCII set – characters from 128 to 255 are _not_ ASCII but are subject to interpretation based on the code page and platform you're running on. Good news, though: CIS supports the Latin-1 character set for extended characters such as umlauts, and has done…
Joel, Not at all. There's a wide variety of unZIP utilities for the Macintosh, and the newer ones are just as good as the ones on the PC end. For now, GO MACFF and search on the keyword UNZIP for programs newer than mid-1993. This will help ensure the 2.04…
ShaBLAMM! Computer's number is 1-800-742-2526.
Hi Fred, ue is the best replacement for the U-Umlaut. It's a shame, that Compuserve doesn't support the complete ASCII-Character-set. Blockgraphics and german (or spain) texts look ugly in 7-Bit chars. I hope that they'll fix it sometimes… >> But anyway, we should be discussing Demo stuff. Frame rate. >>…
Hi Dan, nice to hear from you, that also you speak some german… So I don't have to rewrite all my comments if I upload sources. By the way, I'm sure the Beatles never sung in german.. It suppose it was a german (or austrian) Beatles-Rvival-Band. But some days ago…
Hi Erik, I'll take a look at it.. Thank you. Nils
Hi Geoffrey, I'll ask Dreaden and will post his message here.. I'm sure it's not only interesting to me. Cheers, Nils
Eric: The AVI file format you can get by purchasing Microsoft Video for Windows developer kit which has a bunch of other things that you may not need. I guess Microsoft needs the money! MPEG specs are put out by ISO (international standards organization) and it is fairly complicated. If…
I publish a free newsletter which (among other topics) hypes my fractal animation programs, which are quite different than FRACTINT and HOP. If you're interested, e-mail me your mailing address. –|> | < |<
I think I have that program and did get it to work. It works on some files and not on others. Try the Mac Multimedia forum for help. Steve
Imphobia 8
Message #994
I just uploaded Imphobia 8 to the file library. It's generally considered _the_ diskmagazine of the Demo Scene. There's something in there for lots of people. Interviews, music, coding ideas and techniques, demo-scene zeitgeist, as well as bull from scene members, really really bad poetry and more. It's an interesting…
Nope! In the Fremont area… California… However… you'll find some ads in Digital Video Magazine You can send an associate of mine an E-Mail Kelly Smith 72274.3577 he will be able to get you info needed! Honest!
I've bought a few Gateways over the years, as well as recommending them for relatives. As soon as I understood that the system I bought today has nothing to do with the "same" system I'd order next week, I didn't have many problems. 🙂
>>peolpe say "3DS can do that" but forget to mention that it's an external modul. People get the impression 3DS can do all these things.
Thanks for the info. Don't suppose you have any address/phone #'s for Optibase by any chance??? Much appreciated!
Nils, I agree. We also have to switch back because my German is too terrible to say anything of any importance . Hmm … is "ue" actually an acceptable alternative to u-umlaut? That's interesting, I've never seen that done before. But anyway, we should be discussing Demo stuff. Frame rate.…
Bri, Bad as me. "One of these days" I'm gonna become Master of the Earth. No, the Galaxy. No, the Universe! Maybe tomorrow … Regards, Fred Trafton
Lee, No big secret. I just said "Hi" and that I spoke a bit of German too. Und … die Toilette ist daruber. (The Toilet's over there). Regards, Fred Trafton
And no, none of what I've done is shipping w/the systems, yet. John Stetzer JWs

Mac de zip
Message #983
Mr. Wood: I am new to this forum. I am concerned that most of the library is .zipped and I am running a macintosh (Quadra 800). Before I spend time and MB downloading, does this preclude me from using these files? In the past I have not had easy times…
Would you mind taking a look in your \windows\system directory and tell me the date fo the file "64k_800.drv"? Mine is 19.03.93. Do you have a newer one? -David

Andy, SGI is used for mostly major applications (with a lot of bucks) However the bulk of 3D aniamtions is still done on more discrete platforms like PC MAC and AMIGA. And a lot of those animations are as good as any animations created on an SGI. I know of…

Hi Nils, See my program 'FLAGTEST' on the IBMPRO forum in the assembly library. It also contains some documentation. (not A-flag specific though) Cheers, Erik 'Mr. Flag' de Neve 😉

Does that mean you work for Gateway?
My company makes several inexpensive CDROMs of 3D models. We have two editions of the "Syndesis 3D-ROM". Volume I contains more than 500 models. Volume II contains more than 200 new models. All models are unlocked and ready to use, each is stored in five 3D formats: AutoCAD DXF, 3DS,…

Hey, aren't you the guy who does those amazing Animation Master renderings of humans?
>>I don't know what the other forum-members are thinking,
>>Darf ich bitte zur al toilette (or something like that)
Kevin, I reccoment the PAR (personal animation recoder) from DPS. It's a card for the PC (or Amiga). It's a HD-VCR. You give it the TGA files and after a short time you can play back your anim as video. Supports full video resolution. I think it's $2500 plus HD.…
Nils, Good luck on your quest. You might want to e-mail Draeden of VLA. He can be reached at draeden@u.washington.edu. Jeff > By the way.. Of cause it's a hidden meaning… I thought it was obvious Of course, it's the good old obvious hidden meaning!!! I knew I was missing…
