Angela, I'm gettin' real concerned. I caught you hanging out with all those mortarboard and tassle types again over in Cybercity. I'm not going back over there 'cause they might make me sit in the corner with a dunce cap on and I don't feel like writing "I will be…

Message #135301
Hey Mr. Accu-Weather, This is a follow-up to a conversation that we were having at SIGGRAPH. I would like to recommend you look into: DeLorme Mapping's Street Atlas U.S.A. Access to city and state maps is quick. You can throw it up on the screen as a .wmf or .pcx…

Greg: In a recent post to me you said: < Hope this clears it up for ya! > Well yeah… maybe… but it did raise a few new questions…. You said: < Advanced Media, Inc. was the company which purchased Pyros Computers > < AMI is a sales organization. >…
How's your singing, John? BTW Where did the logo come from? The arch of black circles against a yellow field?
Gee, John. Guess we've run this into the ground… and all in 48 hours!!!!! I can't disagree with anything you said in your last message. It sounds like very good advice that 3D Studio users can benefit from. I would add that it is the "past creations" or "what you've…
Chuck, You Silver Tongued Devil You. You prove my point. This forum is filled with people willing to help if given the chance. Thanks for reminding me about the NAAUG courses. I've been meaning to check them out. Do you have to be a member of NAAUG in order to…
John, old pal, You said: < I think it's a long shot to make money for holiday spending in the short < term by selling a few models. > Agreed. < My point about the brokering path is that it's not a short-term > < source of cash. > Now…
Casey, You said: < Sure, there are a few little companies offering models on cd's but only in > < specific formats. That seems to be a key issue. > Maybe they have to buy Syndesis' Interchange and convert 'em to other formats. Kevin Gibson Animation Nation -=Having a 3D…
John, You've clouded the issue here with your erroneous perception of my thoughts. Nothing I said ignores talent. Talent deserves to be rewarded. You say: < there are lots of companies selling models as part of their PR, > < marketing, upgrade or bundle. > No, what I believe you…
Mr. Camp, This concidence thing is … wait a minute… do you subscribe to Mrs. Do You Know The Way To San Jose's 1-900 Number? Are you, too, plugged into the universal mind? < (They stole some of my songs when we parted ways, now they're fairly big > It…
Bob, So you're gonna make me work instead of my ususal clowning around, eh? < Is there a semi-painless way to take an animation that you have created > < and overlay that animation on a bitmap? > I think I understand the question. But pallette considerations are not the…
Hey Jeff, You ask: < What happened to you that night? > I was busy getting "SMACKED" ….. Really RAD…… < I'm teaching personal animator pro lessons now, > < Great way to pick up xtra cash, talk for hours bout something you love. > Ain't it the truth… AIN'T…
Angela, Regarding your recent valentine: < Kevin I am convinced now that you are certifiably crazy… and wonderful. > < This would be a boring forum without you…> Angela, does Millard know about us? < Yes my helmet is on, both for the trenches and for flying. > < Its…
There you again Jane… I mean John, No.. sorry, I can't get carried away with the humor today. You may not realize it… but I really do enjoy sparring with you. I respect your intellect… Your response is well worded and addresses all but one of my questions. My original…

Mike, Thanks for answering all of my questions. I've been busy as you probably know… sorry for the delay in responding. Regarding spelling mistakes, etc. Take advantage of the computer's power… Consider getting yourself a good spell checker and grammar checker…. That will diminish the problem to some extent. Regarding…
Pickin's are slim on the books, Bob. But the forum is filled with capable, experienced users all willing to lend a hand when they can. The SysOps here wear the ADESK logo and have a direct pipeline to the creators of the program. I'll gladly help with any particular problems…
Mr. Camp, Regarding your request: < Also I would be interested in hearing other people's experiences > < in regards to this matter. > While strolling through the area in lurker mode, employing stealth techniques, I hailed you and asked if I could be of assistance. You responded by saying…
Eric, Regarding your woeful tale about the The Daedalus Encounter: < starring Tia Carrere …it just plain looks rad. … my first CG/anim job. > Mr. Chadwick, Some guys have all the luck. Sounds kickin'. Can't wait to see it.
Mike… you said: (And don't call me Shirley). Can I call you Keith? Kevin Gibson
Michael, Quoting your recent post to Brandon: < Sorry. Didn't mean to yell. > Mike, apparently your backspace key isn't working either. ( just kidding!!! ) 🙂 < This message sounds more negative and upset than I really am. > That's good… can't wait to see you when you have…
Hey John, Glad to see you back. And your interest in looking out for the little guy is most comforting. I have no idea how Casey will respond to your question, and I'm certainly interested in his answer. But I find it most curious that you're ringing in on this…
Hi ya Jeff, How ya doing man. Ain't seen you since that nite in downtown Orlando. How's tricks? And C.A.N. – The Computer Animator's News? Glad to see you're still tackling 3D Studio how-to. Can't help you with the question, not being a wiz at this stuff. I'm still learning…
Where did you hear /see / read about "the recently released Consumer Ed.?" Inquiring minds want to know!
Bri… We are gathered here with bated breath…. Que es "Consumer Ed.?" Kevin ( trying to get closer so I can hear too!)
Jerome, < … call your dealer! > < Reminds me of when I was in college… > Hope you didn't inhale, Jerry. 😉 Kevin
San, my man, the Bugmeister Saw a message regarding "broadcast" adressed to Kevin but it wasn't my CIS number. I did extend a warm hello via the SEN command the other day. Soooo, if you was tawkin at me… I'd be glad to 'splain. Just let me know if I'm…
#Money Making Oppty???
Message #134404
Hi Casey, I moved this over to the Take 5 / Want Ad area because it seemed like the more appropriate place to put it. What's cooking up there at Viewpoint? Give us the skinny. And when you get a chance, fill me in on the new job title. Thanks,…
< The Big Shindig this year in Anaheim > Ooops! ORLANDO he said all red faced…… Caught this goof in rereading my long-winded reply to your one-line question. I'm going to take a tip from the other Kevin here and strive for brevity in my future postings. I just get…
To Mr. Kevin ( Kool Name ) Krell, Re your recent post to me: < To satisfy your curiosity,… > Are you looking to play, Mr. President? Or are you puttin' me on notice? Scott's an old friend from my Austin days. And a nice guy. I respect him. I…

JC < Did you go the ASOFT gathering at S94? > Yep. Had my Mardi Gras colors on! Went to The Disney Gig, the ASOFT Forum gathering and a bunch of other functions. Was there for a whole week. One of the first to arrive and last to leave for…
Twas nibbling on all that sugar cane as a child, Jeremy.
< I may be biased, but most would probably agree that the fastest way to > < learn 3D Studio is by working your way through the tutorials. > Probably biased, definitely right. Putting them under my pillow when I go to sleep at night didn't work.
Don, Thanks for putting a smile upon my face this morning.
Hi Angela. Look! A quick response. From one of the good guys. Thanks Jonas. KG
Bruce, < Has Cohn ever told you his ghost story about the OTHER Bruce Goren ? > This cracks me up. No he hasn't. But since you brought it up, I guess I'll see if I can get him on the line. I haven't logged him traveling through here, but…
Mrs. Pate, Regarding your last message here: < He'll never know, unless someone up here talks… > Yeah. This is your classic low profile activity area. < Keepin' my head down… but it sure makes it hard to get anything done > < when you spend so much time dodging…
IGGY! Bowie's not obscure so it couldn't be him. POP POP POP POP MUSIC
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning, Don.
Hello Mrs. Pate, I happened to catch your message. Nice title too. AP > A quick question. AP > I see people selling 3DS and other packages here on the forum. AP > What is the story here? AP > Are all these people dealers? AP > Where do these…
Great another thread. Sound's like one dealing with sexual frustration. Wives who hate their husbands for hanging out with Virtual Valerie next on Geraldo. FROM THE DEALER'S DILEMNA: < Old threads never die, they just ramble on until someone kills them! > Well I'm a rambling kind of dude. Somebody…
" CyberAuthor " I think another Gibson has this corner of the literary market. But I'll add it to the list of possibilities in case the present situation doesn't pan out. Let's see. That's: 1.) Dance Instructor in the Virtual Minefield, er, I mean, Virtual Ballroom 2.) Safety Coordinator for…
Dear Millard, er, um, Angela, Thank you so much for your letter. When Millard finishes yelling at you for writing it, tell him it was all my fault for being so cryptic. You've been intercepting messages sent from a Nuorleenian who fantasizes that he's engaged in some kind of battle.…
< Are you a bottomless pit of energy or what?!? > Or what would be the correct answer, if not precise. These "fun and games" are taking their toll. Dave, I'm glad you've enjoyed the humor, even though as I've said, there are others in the forum whose wit I…
Exit Scot Susmann. The master of understatement. Thanks for checking in and giving us the update. I guess I'll take a course from you on editing my copy for brevity. I know you're hard at work. Look forward to seeing all these goodies. Kevin
Hey Bryce, "Me Big Chief. Me got 'em tribe. Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Pocky-way"" < Well, well, well, > < Not THE Kevin Gibson of the Southern Animation Society. > That's SASSY for short, Mr. Red Stick. And stop it. You're making me blush. < I saw your listing…
Hey Mike, Man this is what's really great about hanging out in the ASOFT Forum. I get a chance to chat with all you cats whose work I admire and respect. ( I heard somebody in New England just say, "What a wank statement.") But it's the honest to God…
Thanks for your kind words and the encouragement. My knees are a little shaky to tell you the truth. I may burn up like a shooting star. But I do have to stand up for what I believe is right. I'm not sure I've really been a "true lurker." Fact…
Brent. POP! Definitely! It immediately reminded me of how they demo'ed the IPAS routines by blowing everything up. It would serve you well if you produced interactive Point Of Purchase kiosks. POP! Kiosks. I didn't know you were in Hotlanta. I imagine you checked in last week at the show.…
Thanks for the tip on Play80. Trilobyte… yeah, I've got at least one of their players in my arsenal. I'll check it out. VESA compatibility ocassionally surfaces as an issue when I'm working on a client's computer. Thanks.
