Hello ! But as I told to somebody else in this forum, in fact Free Toys are not really free. You have some moral obligation, if you use it and are happy with it, to see if you're interested to buy Key Factory if you need a physics module for…
Hello ! In fact you got the truth. Free Toys are not free. Once you have uploaded some of them, if you need a physics module, you buy Key Factory. I don't want to put any 'pointing finger' inside the Free Toys or other 'phone to get the password', just…
Hello ! Thank you for your message. I agree with Aleksay's "tear" comment but unfortunately it isn't the real world (sorry…) and I agree with you when you say that the more success you get, the more negativity you attract (sorry again…) I didn't get ANY negativity in 1994 while…
Hello ! WATCOM C, IPAS SDK, 3 x 3DS, 4 x PENTIUMs (64MB-96MB), one file server, and most important: I'm working on IPAS since end of 1993… SERGE
Hello ! Yes you are true about private e-mail, but in fact it's private insults… But I don't want to take too much time in a unecessary debate. I prefer programming IPAS that make (almost) everybody happy. What about my charming wife ? Hey ! (joke…) SERGE
Hello ! Thank you for your message ! I didn't sell PMATH under its real costs. I made it in less than 6 hours of programming and I don't want to sell something that I make in less than a couple of days. Instead, I put some advertising inside and…
Hello ! Thank you ! I just want to create better tools for everybody ! SERGE
Hello ! Thank You ! You are right, I'm doing some exercises, not only in anticipation for MAX because I have planned a new product for 3DS 4.0 for the end of the year. Key Factory will be ported to MAX. I still need to buy the new release of…
Hello ! Thank you ! If you have made some nice objects… Please upload here with some credit to 'Free Toys'… SERGE
Hello ! Thank you ! I'm just proud of each download of any Free Toy… SERGE
Hello, Alex ! I hope you have success with your products. I do not want any "special" treatment (relative to Richard Black debate). I have only said that nobody can put all of my 'Free Toys' on a CD-ROM and make money with this work. For everything else (demo products,…

Hello ! You work on Sunday (like me) ? Don't you have better things to do, like working in your garden, etc… (joke) How can I obtain and print from WinCIM 1.4 my download stats ? Have fun with Key Factory ! SERGE
Free Toy
Message #191725
Hello ! Is there a reward form CIS ? Because I have reached more than 1000 downloads in less than 2 weeks with 'Free Toys' (joke ?) I have uploaded PMATH110.ZIP that is a new bug-free 3D Math Free Toy that replace PMATH.ZIP. How it is possible to inform people…
Hello ! Got it ! I have uploaded today a new version of 3D MATH (1.10) with this bug corrected. Please, can you upload some objects done with PMATH (1.10… of course) along with the Math formula you use ? Thank you ! Have fun with Key Factory ! Serge

Free Toy IPAS
Message #190937
Hello ! Have you uploaded my new 'Free toy' IPAS ? PV.ZIP, RAND.ZIP, PMATH.ZIP, GAME.ZIP and SPHERE.ZIP… I think you will have to make some changes in your next book ! Have fun with Key Factory ! PS Do you have received the Release 1.81 of Key Factory ? Please…
Hello ! About your Pool example: KF (1.81) can't create rotation keys with more than 180 degrees (added a test here…) Random Rotation speed: sorry… this is not in 1.81 or 1.82… Spline curves: I use Catmull-Rom splines. Bezier curves are not really made for intensity… Their best use is…
Hello ! I don't understand what you say about 'object motion blur', can you explain ? KF 1.81 is correcting some bugs found in previous releases concerning rotation. Random Rotation speed ? There are plenty of ways to do random rotation even if there is no random button in rotation…
Hello ! Since this is (as you said) one of the most impressively complete IPAS you have ever seen, the code inside is a one year (and 2 MB) work. I will pay a good beer if anybody can find another IPAS with more parameters and features. The drawback in…
Hello ! I guess that you will think that the (programming) force is with me because in KF 1.81 you have a new magnet force field with the following properties: – The intensity is edited as a SPLINE function (T-SPLINE) – The intensity multiplier is also edited as a SPLINE…
Hello ! To make contact, you have to use edge to edge collision detection method for both objects along with a higher accuracy. Have fun with Key Factory !
Hello, KF will allow realistic billiard ball type movement. This has been already done by Keith Seiffert and must be somewhere on SCHREIBER BBS or on one example disk. Ball motion: the behavior can be changed with one parameter and can fully use a tangential vector for motion (this is…

Hello ! If you are from Positron, I'm open to any contest. I have done your 'COMPLEX' example, can you do now as exactly as possible the 'RAMP3' example with rolling balls (including calculation time) ? Have fun with Key Factory ! Bye.
Hello ! The only complaint I have against IPAS Plug-in book is that nowhere (excepted in some screens shots) the reader can see my name. I have made 27 differents IPAS described in your book, since this is the World record (and I have worked hard to do it) I…
Hello ! There is no Release 1.0 for Key Factory. If you can tell me the exact release number I can try to give you the information. When have you ordered and received the software ? For all upgrade info, please contact SCHREIBER / 4DVision directly. Have fun with Key…

Hello ! KF is a whole new world for 3D Studio users. This is (to my knowledge) one of the biggest IPAS ever made (600KB code, 3MB source, 1 year to do, 200 differents parameters = a billion possible effects) By uploading one example a week I will need 10…
Hello ! All the files I will upload are 3DS files, FLI files (virus-free) or Freeware IPAS software (never seen a virus in an IPAS module before…). All theses files concern a new IPAS product made by myself and named Key Factory. (announced in L.A. SIGGRAPH and sold by 4DVision).…
