Hi Chris. In the graphics developers fourm in the sub-dir called image maps. You'll will find a map of the world. The file is called bigwrld.gif. The image-map of the world is based on the clear world satalite data. There is not one cloud, so you get the best detailed…
What I was getting at was the limit that DOS emm386 limit would be 64 mb and Qmm will go beyound that limit. I was just seeing if this was what you were getting confused about pharlap and memory. 3d Studio can utilize 1 gig of mem with a mem…

With these SXPs there is a subtle difference in the definition in the texture. Our routines are the product of continuous refinement. I keep a personal copy of every iteration of the routines because each offers something unique. It's part of the beauty of fractals. These routines work fine with…

Hey there Kevin. Thanks for your reply. Your question about wood is excellent. I prefer to use SXP's to get a realistic looking wood. I use Wood.sxp as texture one and one of my routines, Turb.sxp as texture 2. Now don't let SXP's confuse you. They're not as complex as…
Hi Jonas. Yes it was nice meeting ya. I have too say you guy's at Autodesk have a nice place to work in up in San Refele. How do you like the routines ? Also I'll keep you posted on the newest ones. I'll see that you will be one…
Hi Kevin, It's nice to see such interest. I too traded in my paint brushes and canvases for the world of 3D. Unlike you, I jumped straight into 3D. You question: Am I "one of the lost 60's generation?" No, I'm not old enough to say that. I'm a product…

If your using SXP's you'll want to set the sizing by clicking on the S next to the texture. This is where you control the scaling of the SXP's. S is for settings. When you scale the obect in the 3d editor the SXP's cords will not change so you…
