The internet is great. Period. Every time I log on to the 'Net, I find something new and worth-while. I will continue to keep my Compuserve account (And probably my AOL) but the net is by far the best (and I just started surfing two months ago.
something to consider…. Anyone who uploads a program that they've copyrighted, retains the copyright to their own work. If a copyright message is put on all uploads then I would presume that the author retains the copyright. What about E-Mail? If a copyright notice is put on an E-Mail message…
Sorry I'm not familiar with Jim Lammers or his BBS could you please enlighten me? I was considering the CHAOS BBS, and the AVALON.CHINALAKE.NAVY.MIL internet sites for dist. areas, also I hang out with the owners of The Computer Room computer graphics shop down here in S. Fla. and they…
I was thinking about dividing each issue into two files, one part would be just the text in ascii and the other file would be binaries (images, image ads etc.) . Those that can only download the text would have to register to get the other file via "snail mail"…
Thanks Sanford I'm trying -David PS. John Foust of Syndesis seems to disagree with you about forum messages being in the public domain, E-Mailing articles would still seem to be the right way to do it (for copyright reasons) so I guess it doesn't really matter either way… just thought…
If Sanfords kennedy's statement about "public Domain" was in in error then I regret any confusion my message may have caused, I'll ask him about where he got that information. I'm sure his heart was in the right place 🙂 If what you say is true (and I'm sure it…
#3D/XP
Message #134391
(To sysop: please replace IPAS Newsletter! with this new message, thank you) Here's the latest information on 3D/XP to all those interested. 1) 3D/XP is a new newsletter.It will be about using and PROGRAMING IPAS and 3DS Scripts, as well as using 3D Studio with other programs. It will be…
>looking foward seeing anything of value from you! What I'm trying to do is collect "things of value" from 3D Studio users and make them available to other 3D Studio users. So far nothing has been received so nothing can be put out. Please have patience. Is there some way…
Sanford…. Thank you too I didn't know that placing things on the forum put them in public domain. I guess that anything that is intended for publication in 3d/xp should be sent sent via mail and that unless "otherwise noted the articles should be copyright the original author"or something to…
Sanford… Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. My "regular job" is as audio visual mgr. for the Miami Beach Convention Center. We are just wraping up the International Assoc. of Amusement Parks and Attractions convention, I did over 110 hours this week and pretty close to that…

>so I'm doing lot of futuristic & gothic architecture modelings…… I'd love to see some of your models, I'm really into gothic architecture.
What ever turns you on…. If you think you could do an interesting Puppeteer HowTo, I'm sure I could use it. What kind of 3D work do you do? see ya' -David
Thanks for letting me use your bathroom (that didn't come out right ) But seriously folks…. Thanks, can't wait to see it Bye (for now) -David
Thanks for the quick reply to my "quick " question. -David

I am considering doing a floppy or maybe even a CD. I'm sure That I can fit enough stuff on a floppy to make it worthwhile. I'm looking into ways to send Bitmaps (incl. advertising???) on the internet , maybe binary file transfer? Which do you prefer for the name…
#More Bumps etc.

Since getting 3D Studio all the back when it was just in rel. 3 , I have seldom missed my old 3D program (Impulse's IMAGINE V.3) but there is one or two things… Please Please please revise the Materials Editor to support more than one BUMP Map/mask, and more than…

The most important thing about gamma is to only correct…
Hi When you do anything that is to go to video tape, YOU MUST SET YOUR COLORS ON A VIDEO (RGB) MONITOR!!!!! , Not on a computer monitor! It is a common mistake. The colors will look totally wrong if you set them on a computer mon. and then go…
Hi Greg Great response to the "Shareware Newsletter" idea, this is going to be great. I have a quickie question about Mirage. What kind of machine are you using it on? I have a 486/66 with 32 megs-O-ram, and the "real time"preview isn't even close (for some FX, it's closer…

Thanks for the note. BTW what does MINDSCAPE do? -David
You're most welcome.
>This is an interesting idea. What kinds of functions would an LXP perform? All kinds of things. ie. 1)Make all the normals on an obj. shadow casting lights 2)Make parallel lights (like IMAGINE has) 3)Make self illum. objects truly illuminating (and shadow casting) 4)all kinds of interesting "glow" effects I'm…

#24Bit color IPAS
Message #131744
Hi Hi Hi There my little Droogies I had to change my main display to 16M colors (R.4) to run the Mirage IPAS. I'm glad to see that you seemed to have fixed the color problems with spline arrows and grids that affected R.3 in 24Bit. But it still runs…
> Couldn't a lot of the Spline Modeler capability be achieved w/ this utility? …. Displace is one the most useful thigs you can get for 3DS. But the thing that makes SPLINES so powerful is the way they curve (It's there nature) . The modeling that you can accomplish…

I know that this should be in "wishlist" but it's part of this thread…. Make fade in/outs part of an upgrade to Yost Disk 1, plus (for R.5?)… assign the layers an effect affects (?) Just dreamin' -David BTW Having a ball with my very own copy of R.4 my…

#LXP
Message #131272
I would love to have more control of lights. since the IPAS concept really seems to work with other thigs (competition is good for the soul 🙂 ] , How about a light IPAS "LXP" . I'm sure the developers would eat it up. Bye -David
#Lens FX
Message #129914
As per your suggestion, I downloaded the Lens FX blur image. Great!!!!!! A couple of questions… 1) Can you set a distance to be in focus and everything else out of focus (ie focus distance = 500 units, 0 to 450 out of focus (maybe an exponential curve to sharp,…
TSR Error????
Message #129747
Hi. I use AAPLAYHI as one of my USER PROGRAMS in 3D STUDIO (It plays FLC's Oh So Smooth) anyway, I don't know what I did or changed but now whenever I exit AAPLAYHI back to 3D Studio, a message flashes on the DOS prompt. I paused it to see…
It would be nice if we could "lock" a position and have TEMPO do its adjustments around the lock. Also, when animating a loop, any TEMPO adjustments change the end position. It would be very helpful if some kind of "Position Locks" could be implemented. Just my 2 cents -David
>>Jonas or Brian would be better folks to ask this question than I. >> – G Thanks Gary. I'm new to Compuserve, how do do reach them??? BTW have you heard about "3DS / XP"? It is a newsletter / magazine that I am starting. It will focus on IPAS…
#TSR Error??
Message #129655
By the way, I didn't always have this problem. It worked fine for a while. I tried moving the AAPLAYHI dir. to become a subdirectory of 3DS3. Also I tried using the Aniplayer from AniPro but it doesn't work at all (I guess I would have to set the PharLap…
