Thanks Kurt. I have gotta sit down and look at it again because there's such a lot of good work on it. Glenn.
HA! Glenn.
David, "Forehead of Zeus" Never heard of it (but I did know that Daniel Boone had a wild front ear! (GROAN)). Glenn
Bob, Oh how I wish I were on that side of the globe so I could join in with all you 3DS junkies. It tears at my heart like a long lost family across the ocean. Let's hope GM animation earns me enough greenbacks (actually ours are plastic and mlticoloured)…
Glenn Frymordial Thoup Group.
Dave. Can you imagine answering the phone all day at a place called "The Primordial Soup Group"? "The primordial Soup Group can I help you?.." "The primordial Soup Group hold the line please.." "The primordial Soup Group good morning……………." Cool name though! Thanks Glenn 4Di.
Alec.. KANGAROO ANIMATION?!?! I can see it now…little Kangaroo's in the lobby, Kangaroo skins on the couch….cool Kangaroo juice in the fridge…(Big G). Your suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. I liked ATEM and VIDA the best. They'll go on my list. Thanks a lot! Glenn 4Di.

UK OK?
Message #113341
Peter, Thanks for your reply but I think I transcribed your number wrongly as we could'nt get through to you over the weekend and the E-mail containing your number has been erased. Could I bother you to re-send it through to me? Thanks in advance… Glenn 4Di.
Yo Martin, The PAL version of the PAR will be released in Australia in September and I'm kinda interested in it's specs. Is it a broadcast device or not? I'm looking for something to give me at least PAL-SP Quality. Is this the box for me? Thanks Glenn 4Di……(soon to…
Peter, I was interested to read your info on the UK scene.I am based in Melbourne,Australia and the guy I mentioned would like more info about you and your company.He has had 2 years experience using 3DS in the the video post production field.With about twelve years experience in videotape/telecine…
Thanks for the kind words Gayle, It's just a shame that Herbie has been built for a real paying job and will only ever be as big as a thumbnail on screen and only move left to right in a static scene. I just could'nt let him go to waste…
Ara, I applied the manta to the whole fish as one object. Because the amplitude of the manta wave increases away from the center of the object, the body is only deformed a little and the fins, much more. Glenn 4Di.
Thanks Ara. The fish was texture mapped with a picture of a real fish and then Opacity mapped and Bump mapped with textures I painted on High Rez QFX. As for the motion, I simply used Yost Group's MANTA WAVE PXP. Just goes to show there's still some kick in…

Other models
Message #107940
Hi all, I was just reading DESIGN-WORLD and there were a neat series of pics showing modeling on a PC system from Intergraph. Does anyone know about them or thier software and how it compares to 3DS? Thanks Glenn 4Di.
John, Drat Drat and double Drat! I didn't think anyone would pick that up! Boy I tell you that's the last time I'll ever backmask a .FLI file (BigG). You have no idea how appropriate that comment is to me at this moment in time…Talk about hitting the nail on…
John, The head was one simple loft shape that I pulled around (Very Simple in fact) till I had what I wanted. The animation was a simple morph between about 6 different head shapes. I'm currently building all the head shapes I need for speech. Glad you liked it. Glenn.…

Greg, I don't know how many ROBO-TRUCK's are on the forum, but I uploaded one into DL5 a week or so ago as a JPG. It was kinda insect looking with six wheels abd a bin out back. It stood in a hangar. If this sounds right then I'm your…
Sory David, I thought I had answered that one. The wrinkles were definately Bump mapped onto the head. I did'nt want to get too heavy with the tessalation of it all. For fine stuff like that, a bump'll do. BTW, I loaded the head texture I painted for the displacement…
No probs. I hope your stuff turns out better than mine because I painted it from memory. Glenn 4Di.
I'll try to upload the whole mesh/maps thing soon but right now I want to get it just right. Glenn 4Di.
Yes Andrew, I painted one flattened out head and Spherically mapped it onto a ball. The displacement map is in DL5 called HEADTEX.JPG. Glenn 4Di.
Thanks Murph. Glenn 4Di.
