Third party developers can better handle the vertical markets as they can have experts in those fields to tackle the problem. On the AutoCAD side you have a single general CAD program, add in third party programs and you have around 3500 programs avilable to solve a very very wide…
Yes, we are upgrading for R3 fixes at no cost. Just made some changes to Imagine Sun which will ship shortly. We also are committed to providing the best possible product and as such, we provide fixes at no cost whenever we feel it is needed. We will most likely…
100 machines sure will help on that 10,000 frames but you will still need upwards of 120mb of RAM on each of those machines to handle the 4,000,000 polygons…
Dan, We have a catalog. Call 1-800-252-1024 to get a catalog and a dealer near you if need one.

Primary users of QuickSurf are in mining, oil & gas, environmental, civil, surveying, architecture, military, GIS and related fields. AutoSurf is aimed and priced for the mechanical, air craft, automotive and industural engineering…

I assume you mean AutoCAD DOS product. Will AutoVision be released on the Sun Solaris platform?
The ray traced shadows with opacity maps are beautiful…
Gus, A high speed orbit around the sun and you might wind up using R1 again. A cause for thought. Keith.
Altimira is a windows based ap. It also runs fine under Windows NT.
David, Spatial partitioning of a 3D solid basics are outlined in Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice as referenced by Gus. This book also touches on a huge array of other useful material and is a must. The SIGGRAPH conference proceedings also provide several more in depth papers on different methods…
