GreG, I haven't heard anyone talking about Steve's exploding space station (I forgot the name). Have you seen it? Incredible. Also I want to add David's Banan1 (and 2 which I haven't seen yet) to the animations. Sam – Sam J. Bowling, Written 30-Sep-1994 @ 01:53:56 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO…

I'm finally getting somewhere thanks to you people. The only trouble I'm having now is what to create. Bigger Thanks everyone. – Sam Bowling, Written 25-May-1994 @ 08:05:41 Using: Windows NavCIS TE 1.2
Yup, it sure is great. I will be sending away for 3.0 very soon. I can't wait. – Sam Bowling, Written 20-May-1994 @ 07:09:54 Using: Windows NavCIS TE 1.2

Thanks a MILLION Charles. Now the fun begins. ;*) – Sam Bowling, Written 19-May-1994 @ 07:45:02 Using: Windows NavCIS TE 1.2

Charles, After thinking about that last reply I sent you I realize it sounds kinda stupid. I understand that I need two of the same objects objects with different textures and than make them morph. What I'm trying to figure out is what editor do I load them into to…
One more question Charles. (don't hit me please) How do you morph? I'm going to be ordering 3.0 very soon (by the end of the week) so I'll have the whole set (docs and all), but is it possible in 2.0? Thanks, Sam – Sam Bowling, Written 17-May-1994 @ 19:11:12…

3D modeling bee project
Message #82149
Hi all. I'm having trouble attempting to animate the bee object in the book 3D Modeling Lab. First, When I pick Sphere.1 only the sphere is highlited not the whole group ( I'm in Pick groups mode). I'm able to select all of them separately but I don't know if…
Thanks a lot Alan. Sam – Sam Bowling, Written 16-May-1994 @ 07:26:03 Using: Windows NavCIS TE 1.2
Thanks, Alan. That should help. While I have your ear (eyes?) I wanted to say I love your bee image in the book. I haven't animated it yet, but I was looking through the chapter and I was wondering if the wings just flicker from all the way up to…

Message #81844
Help! I was using the forms editor in Imagine 2.0 (PC)and was editing in the side view and when I went back into the full view (all for views) the perspective view was gone. I tried using the re-center function and then all my side views dissapeared. I next tried…

3D MODELING LAB
Message #81558
Hi, I just got 3d modeling lab and it looks realy good. I'm having a few problems getting the displays set up for imagine 2.0. Can some one give me pointers on the prefrences editor? they are not covered in the book. Also how do I get true color with…

#Imagine info (PC)
Message #80905
Hi, Is there a file I can D/L with all the features of imagine 3.0? I"m reeeely interested and any available info would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam
YOu can DXFout your files and convert them to POV-Ray with DXF2POV but they will be raw triangle data ( I think) which is slower, takes alot of space but it would be useful for odd shapes (meshes etc..) . check out PV3D if you want a front endprogram for…
Thanks dan, the real problem I had was just the name of the file (povmod) which I couldnt find, but the real problem was I didnt have enough disk space ont my C: drive and I was trying to render an extremely large file (the bigest and in my opinion…
I keep getting a "time out error and CIM then disconnected. It might have something to do with the network. Sam Read action !
Dan, I've got a problem, I am getting an out of memory error and I can't for the life of me remember how to set the omount of memory for POV to use . can you please help me? Thanks, Sam There are 2 Replies. Read action !
Vic, I do a great deal of my POV-Ray files through PV3D so I'm not calling anyone a wimp for using one, as a matter of fact my images have increased in complexity about ten times since I've been using one. I personaly prefer mountain bikes! Sam Dan, I personally…
Dan, I have a speedstar24x and I have three different versions of POV-Ray the ones I got through the image lab book and from TSL( shareware company) run fine in svga but the one I u/l frome here ( ibmicb ) wont and it is the only one that will…

Visual Basic and POV
Message #20609
Vic, I use PV3DV1 available as (PV3DV1.zip) which I found to have the most features of all the GUI's that I've tried. PV3D does still have some bugs in it but I I"ve found them not to be much of a problem if you save alot. I also agree with…
Peter, PV3dV1.0 is the best wire frame modeler That I have found yet! You any number of things from CSG shapes to animations and so on(it would take too long to list them all). there are a ffew bugs still so you should save constantly and the documentation is dificult…
