Fractal Animation !
Message #654
I uploaded a fractal program to Lib 1. It does static fractals and various types of fractal animations. If you want a truly amazing screensaver, check this out: [100041,247] Lib: 1 HOPZIP.EXE/Bin Bytes: 433418, Count: 1, 08-Nov-94 Last:09-Nov-94 Title : HOP – Fractals in Motion (1.1 version for DOS) Keywords:…

Animation Works
Message #652
I am new to animation and this forum. I have played with a few programs and found Animation Works by Gold Disk the most user friendly. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with it or knows of a better one. I am sure there are better ones.…
> full screen animation of something like a fractal generation program < Have you played with fractint? It can do no end of interesting images, and is very popular for generating backgrounds, background animations, and so on. ..mark
>Wondering if we are related< Where is you at? Any relatives down around Oklahoma/Georgia way? ..mark
jim Airframe is not compressed, and it is not a data file. Rather, it's an executable the creates each frame from scratch (calculates what is where and draws it to the screen) each time it is run. Now, I don't think that any of us here actually dis-like .FLI/.FLC files…
David, Thanks for your reply. Please see my reply to Claude Benoit. -Frank
Thanks for the answer Perry. I'll try to stop by the ER booth at COMDEX. Unfortunately I'll only have two days at COMDEX this year, and it's got to the point where not even in the whole week you can see everybody and all the things you want to check…
Thanks for your encouraging reply. I am a cardiac electrophysiologist and do, among other things, radiofrequency catheter ablation of bypass tracts and reentry circuits. You may already know about the field, but it involves using electrical signals through catheters to localize discrete areas in the heart. The only "visual" tool…
David, OK, (if you don't mind me asking) how did you do the splashing water (the dolphins)? It looks GREAT!!!!! You can GO ANIMVENA and ask about Playmations DXF, I started out with A:M so I don't know the answer. Jim Jonah
If you can solve a problem for me maybe we can talk about it. I need to know how to set a Windows screen saver name dynamically without having to recompile my .DEF file. Any ideas?
I know how you feel. No offense intended. I've just been playing "flame wars" with some of these kids in the demo area for fun. I hope I didn't act too rashly. Thanks for your understanding. John
AVI to Quicktime
Message #640
Is there a public domain or shareware program which convert AVI to quicktime. I have a AVIQT.SIT which is supposed to do it, but neither Stuffit, Expander, or CompactPro can uncompress the program.
>> Medical, Dental, and related software for networked offices…
Thanks.
I have as-built drawings of the projects, so inputting the dimensional info into a program is no problem. Tony
>> Look at Airframe…It's something like 6 minutes long…It's a 60k file. 60k, not 60 megs…. I haven't seen the sequence you talk about, but I have been programming graphics for quite a few years. I've recently written a FLI/FLC player for our companies use, but I don't know of…
I've recently looked at several 3D rendering packages in the market. My docs are at work, but I've seen demos from Caligari TrueSpace 3D. It's Windows based and features a very intuitive interface with quick rendering times. The cameras are placed similar to Lightwave 3D (Video Toaster fame and now…
Please fax me a copy of your logo, I am already working on it. The whole thing will cost you $500 and will turn it around overnight (if you stick with the plan you mentioned). Kouros Moghaddam TCI Cable (909) 466-4539 or call me at (909) 466-4545 ext 256
David, Your animations on the CompuServe CD look GREAT!!! Congratulations! I've got some questions on them, but gotta go to work, I'll ask later.:) Jim Jonah
David, > tja, wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual! 🙂
No problem, just wanted to make sure you got it OK! Thanks Jeff
Fred, I've read you're comments to Nils about vertical lines in mode-X for 3D polygons and was wondering… What would be more advantageous, the square pixels of 320 x 240, or the ease of puting pixels in 320 x 200 (and then adjusting the aspect ratio) ? I've gotten the…
Texture Mapping
Message #628
If any one has any FAST idea about texture mapping besides object intersection tests and is willing to show me how they work I would grately appreciate it. I have been trying for the past two weeks or so to get one working but have had only a little sucsess.…
Hi Matt, I only downloaded the GraphSup Catalogue last week!!! Its out of date already? You must be having fun with all these forum splits and sub-divisions of sub-divisions or whatever!! Colin
Hi Andrew, I've checked, and in my \QTW\BIN directory there are a couple of 'em: QTMOVIE.VBX and QTPIC.VBX, theres also assembler, basic and c/c++ files aswell. Colin 😉
>> any advantages
Gerald, see my other message to Thomas. There are many 3D animation programs available. Hardware: the faster the better. -David
#Raytrace Animations
Message #623
Hi Thomas, Finding a good program for the PC isn't that hard, but on the other hand it is, since there are so many now! I use Imagine from Impluse. It's quite powerful and the price is very low compared to the features. But there is much more. 3D-Studio from…
Ok when I have more time I'll send some of my objects. -David
Did the Faro feel substantially smoother in operation/manuervability than the Immersion? Did you notice how deft either of the digitizing points felt in your hand?
#VMPEG V1.2a
Message #620
Any chance of the sysop putting vmpegv1.2a onto the forum. Its suppose to be 30% quicker and have some really cool features. Thanks Ian McNeill
Thanks! 🙂 – Shane

Thanks Colin! – Shane 😉
Tim, How do you like QT for the PC. I know you've worked a lot with .AVI s as well. Do you see any advantages to them from a programming and performance aspect? Andrew McClary Graphic Alchemy Productions, Inc.
Was any of that code a .VBX file? Andrew
I have got a copy of True Space that I never use. Make me an offer and its yours. (Within reason!) Its a good program, but we have 3D Studio which we like better for broadcast work. 3DS also has network rendering so we can render our animations on a…
What type of graphics are you looking for. I do freelance animation for a number of companies across the country. Drop me an E-mail message of what you are looking for. Andrew McClary Graphic Alchemy Productions
Hi David, Thanks for the information. There will be a RAW export. Bernard
Thanks for the reply. I don't like very much triangles oriented models because they need too much CPU time for the animation, but for the portability it's a good solution. I shall try to write a converter 2RAW. Where can I get some info about this format? I have already…

Again, thank's for your help. But I don't want waste your time.
Hi Ed, GO GRVENA and ask John Bridges in section 3. John Bridges [75300,2137]. He's the expert. Bruce Herzog Graphics Forums Staff NY 08-Nov-94 at 3:31p DST
Confused? You bet! I felt kinda lost when I, after having been away for a week or so, discovered that there wasn't a Demo Team section anymore. Luckily, it had just moved… 🙂 Best regards, Jens.
