Dan… Thanks for the info. I'll call for pricing… Roger C@V
Bill…. Our application allows the instructor to build an exam as well. But does not run in AutoCAD. How do you handle exam takers being able to poke around in AutoCAD to find out answers (or is this like an open book exam)… Whan you said that this exam was…
Bill….. Don't butt in just say excuse me and upload a demo on the forums…:-) Seriously.. did you download mine and will you upload yours? If your system runs in AutoCAD and ours does not require AutoCAD. sounds like different applications for different reasons. N'est pas? Anyway like to see…
Gary…. Doing an architectural project in 3DS is definately the next best thing to being there… If you can't get out to see a wonder like fallingwater (a mistical experince for arch. students) having an animation on a CD would be fantastic way of experiencing the space of such a…
Dan…. Who is publishing falling water in 3DS? sounds like a really cool idea. Roger C@V
Ken… Thanks for the suggestions. So you would like to have control over how the exam marks are reported? sort of like a check box ( print to screen, to printer, or file or all of the above? Roger C@V
Ken… I don't have much time now. But quickly I'd like to thank you for the suggestions. Some of them are being adressed in our current programming efforts. Especially encription. We would also like to have the certificate printable. Do you think the certificate is a good idea to give…
Cameron.. Yes it would be useful for anyone using AutoCAD under any environment. The AQT needs to run under Windows thats the only requirement. Roger C@V
Ken…. I'm not sure of the problem you are having. I'll check with Amer (he is the VB programmer) of the AQT…and get back to you. College P.O.'s will be fine. We will ship product based on that (as long as it is eventially followed by a cheque…:-)….) Ok that…
Cameron…. I am the person responsible for uploading the AQT exam. Did this manouver solve the installation problems? Roger C.
Todd… A metal buliding? and you're doing a 3D model of it? Well it must be a special kind of metal building… Anyway thanks for the encouraging words. Every little bit helps… Roger C. IAS
Yes indeed the CD did find its way to the snowy north… Thanks for your assembling the list of names. BTW it seems that Viewpoint has a program of placing models from 3D modelers in their catalogue. and paying them royalties when a model is sold? Do you know anything…
I just checked my database and I found that I have sent you a copy of these symbols already. These were mailed to you in November of 1993, for a conference of the AIA in puerto rico. Did you get them? and what did happen at the conference? Feedback would…
Todd… I'll send info. but if you give me a fax no. it will get there quicker. Roger C. IAS

Stewart…. One of these days you will be able to buy and AutoCAD R12 test from me…But It's still being worked on… right now professe software offers a test at around 200$. alternatively you could sign up for the AutoCAD certification exam. Roger C@V

Ed… The Waite group's Walkthrough's and flybys has a lot of 3DS animations in it. Advanstar's/N.Fulton's book also have examples of animations and stills done with 3DS. Roger C@V
Nancy…. FLC's play fine in Aniplay, so do GIF'f the success ratio of 75% came with the combination of aniplay and this universal vesa driver called Uvesa that I pick up in the forums about 4-6 months ago. Unfortunately the player used on the CD-ROM did not display the images…
N. Yeah I havn't figured out how to get 640x480x256 on all machines yet either. I did try aniplay with a universal vesa driver which I downloaded off these forums. I seems to work on 75% of th machines I have had feedback on. But does not work as configured…
Nancy…. I've been going through the book slowly in the last few days.. and I'm really disappointed… not a single..Cooool…:-).. but seriously looks really good we may adopt in our advanced 3DS courses. Just have to get through the rest of the chapters… Roger C@V
JK… Thanks for the tip on Mastering 3D studio. I just called today Payne and almost ordered a copy. Since I havn't seen it and I agree with your assessment of Nancy's book and Tips and Tricks I think I'll pass. BTW I looked at 3D Studio applied in greater…

Nancy…. I just recieved your book today and had a quick scan over it. Looks really nice. I did have some problems with the menu selections on the CD rom to display the images I submitted to the book… Am I doing something wrong? Ie.. I invoke the menu with…
Shoe… I'd have to chack out the HMD unit they were using.. It might have been Virtual Research…The HMD was quite lightweight and non obtrusive. I also remember their logo a green VR embossed on the front of the unit. Also tracking control for head movement… Roger C@V
Shoe…. I remember seeing something in the VR video festival called the cage or the cave. It looked the most interesting as there was no HMD but a sense of imersion as projectors displayed images around several large screens. The HMD that sense8 displayed at MEckler gave me little or…
Shoe… Thanks for the comments and advice…. Roger C@V
Shoe…. Thanks for the ammunition on the VR approval process. Having both systems would you absolutely suggest going with CDK? I know I might get banished for this but…. I was more impressed with Sense 8. I also read an unofficial review which appeared here a few months ago that…

Message #66248
I've been saving TIFF files in 3DS and getting them printed at a local Image processing center on photographic paper. Although I havn't tried this from AVE I imagine a Saveimg would accomplish the same result.
