#146-#irony of new location Message #158
From: Fred Trafton Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 28, 1994 7:15 PM
Jeff, Right. Enough Windows-bashing. Everyone who loves it will continue to love it, and everyone who hates it will continue that as well. Nobody's going to smack themselves on the forehead and say, "Now, WHAT was I thinking?" from any arguments we're likely to make here. So, I'll wait until…

Lily, I know, nobody was being rude. It just struck me funny. Judging from the huge number of messages here, it seems that some others have gotten lost in the shuffle as well. Oh, well, I imagine everyone interested in demos will soon find their way here as well. BTW,…

if you are into Client/Server try Gupta SQLWindows (GO GUPTA). That's also a very good development toolkit (in my opinion better than powerbuilder).

#Animation Program Message #150
From: Frank Krueger Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 28, 1994 2:51 PM
I'm a newbie to the world of animation, and would like to know if there is a good freeware or inexpensive shareware program for doing nice animations. I have POV-Raytracer. But I would like a program designed espescially for animations. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Fk P.S. Thanks

Yikes. Leon, let's track the process a bit and see if we can help you. * Did you install from floppy disk or hard drive? * Where did you get the QT4W files from (online, friend, elsewhere)? * Did you exit Windows and restart? Reboot your computer? Sometimes either of…

#139-Any doubts? Message #142
From: Matt Drury Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 28, 1994 10:35 AM
George, Jenee is out today. Files should be uploaded to "New Uploads" (library 1) here for best handling. As time passes, we'll do the "sources to source libs, finished files to New Uploads" trick as was (and is) done in Graphics Developers.

From: Matt Drury Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 28, 1994 7:32 AM
Visitor, While not animated, the "Imagemaps" library in our Graphics Developers Forum (GO GRAPHDEV) is devoted to images you can use with very little in the way of permissions. Most use is already granted, so you can be on your way quickly!

#3D modeling Message #132
From: Dwayne L. Liddell Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 28, 1994 2:53 AM
Both 3DS and Truespace are good programs. I use 3DS every day and like it a lot. It has fantastic speed and versatility. Truespace has a great interface but is a little too thin in the feature department to be used for serious work. As Greg mentioned Imagine is also…

Jeff, Why not restart the fires? I love a good flame . But, seriously, I had to laugh. I had skimmed the news section in the GRAPHDEV forum, but it sounded like there was ANOTHER demo group forming here in this section. Then suddenly I found I was not "authorized"…

From: GreG tsadilas Forum: Computer Animation Forum October 27, 1994 7:52 PM
3DS rev4 is always a safe bet. It is costly, but is very powerfull once you add some of the IPAS routines (added costs). The current version of TrueSpace is lacking in a lot of features. It's basically a begginers program right now. Another contender to consider is Imagine 3.0…

Hi Andrew, You can get QuickTime for Windows in one of the MacIntosh Forums (MACDEV?), can't remember which one, the files are QTDSK1.ZIP and QTDSK2.ZIP. One of the problems though, is the PC bawks at the MAC Header on the file, I haven't found many QT movies that don't have…

It's kinda quiet here since we moved I just thought that after all of the debate comparing Demos to pre-generated .FLIs, .AVIs, etc. that it was kinda ironic that here we are surrounded by them. BTW I'm not trying to restart the fires from that GRAVIS thread (although a little…
