PMFJI I saw you were checking out our VRML support on NAVFlyer. I would be very interested for some feedback, if you could email me your phone number I would like to chat for a few minutes. Of course performance speeds are at the top of my list. We have…
Sorry for the awful time lag… I haven't been up here in weeks….. Yes we are on line at http://www.microngreen.com Please come check us out. We are VERY under construction… just can't find aannnyyy ttttiiiimmmeeee anymore…. Any and all contributions are welcome!!! I have enjoyed OpenCAD! Keep up the online…
Hi Murph….. Commin' at ya…. I promise…. By the way… do you have FTP access? We are setting up some space for existing users to be able to get to the lastest versions at no cost if they can just download it. If you do let me know and I…
> Yes, We really like the SpaceController from Spactec…. check it out. It is a 6D ball on a desktop pedestal that takes a week to get the hang of but once you get it , life is drastically different…. My son (9 yrs) is the second best flyer I've…
Yes it does! Enjoy… Angela
Hi! > Jonas covered WinG, our ever present guide in cybercompuspace…thanks 🙂 As for the other questions.. NAVFlyer 2.2b is a fully functional product that is freely distributable to anyone. The only limitation is that it only uses the keypad to fly in 6 degrees of freedom (see the HELP…
Sorry it has taken so long to reply… I will email you asap….. Glad to see some 3DS happening on a web site… we plan to hold create a hopefully exciting place for 3DSers as well… I look forward to visiting yours… Anybody else out there????? Angela Pate

See the NEW NAVFlyer message in the Take 5 Want Ads…. New NAVFlyer posted in the CDK section. It is a CDK based freely distributable flyer that now supports 3DS, DXF and VRML files. Check it out… Happy Flying… Angela Pate- MicronGreen
PMFJI cool VRML writer, isn't it? It produces VRMLs that don't crash! not like many posted all over the place… there are a lot of bogus VRML files out there so far. I would like to encourage any 3DSers out there to check this out. It is a good thing…
Sounds good, I'll contact you at your hotel…. Looking forward to it! Angela
thanks….

Message #170715
HI Anne, I've enjoyed seeing your quilts!!! They are very beautiful…… I have a problem here. I logged on (WinCim) and saw some messages waiting for me on the VR Workshop 4 3DSers thread on Want Ads. I answered one from James Murphy where he mentioned how he couldn't come…
Hi Carlton, I'll send you the material from the workshop so you can at least get a feel for it if you are interested. Where are those models……. I am looking to you for some good VR worlds here soon…. So get those students busy! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Angela
Something strange happened in my WinCim and I seem to have lost some messages on this thread…. If anyone is not getting a reply from me let me know again please….. There were 3 messages showing up… I replied to one to Murph… then the other two disappeared along with…
Me too!
VR workshop 4 3DS users
Message #170484
A little short notice but I hope I will see some of you there! Next Monday June 22, from 2 to 5 PM, at the Meckler VR '95 conference in San Jose, CA at the convention center we are hosting a workshop for 3D Studio users to begin modeling for…
Hi Jerry, Of course we will be there and doing a preconference workshop on modeling for VR environments with 3D Studio. I am remiss in not posting this earlier. I will post a notice over in the want ads section with the Agenda included for all to see. We need…
Hi Murph, I am not sure about the newest releases of NT but I will ask Millard who keeps up with all this. He will know…. We are still running 3.5 I think and haven't upgraded to 3.51. At least that is my understanding, but I will check. Not much…
Hi John, >> Just remember the rest of us who struggled with compilers that ended up with version numbers like 3.2.5.01.c.xyz ……not fun…. I am hoping that we won't have to switch compilers any more… maybe…. But I've said that about operating systems for the past ten years too…everything always…
Hi, So where in Florida are you? I am in Gainesville. I didn't know of any 16 machine 3D Studio teaching facilities here. Is it exclusively for studio or are you in a training facility for AutoCAD too. I always had trouble trying to render big projects in our local…
#NT Opinion, FWIW
Message #167830
I have just seen a few of the threads regarding the move to NT and all the commotion it seems to be stirring. FWIW I thought I would drop in my two cents.. (why, I have no idea… ) We develop on NT using MSV C++ (CDK apps) . Although…
>> I believe that Bruce is at brucepardoe@autodesk.com he uses his whole name.. Ang
Hi, Yea….. check out Ascension Technologies Flock of Birds,,, which works great in CyberSpace. We use them as well as Polhemus sensors. Both are electro magnetic 6D sensors. We have CDK drivers for them in Rel 1 and Rel 2 available in our Tools for CDK developers. Also for 3D…
Another loud mouth reply from me again… I have been assured again from the (highest) Multimedia powers that be that all is well with CDK and that Autodesk still supports it strongly and I want to make sure that everyone understands this and doesn't mistake my rambling on about the…
Hi Jerry, > Since I see no one rushing to respond……I, being ever present and generally loud mouthed,……. No, I deleted it all…………I am still waiting to hear the answer they come up with before I open my big mouth with my opinions…..believe it or not, this is a very…
We use the SpaceController as a flying device or a Wand (or both) in our CDK app. It works great. It is a fun device but takes a little while to master how to fly with it if you don't offer 'training wheels'. We found that if you offer a…
> ROTFL!!!!!!!! Great idea. Ang
XXXOOO Thanks for being………… Oh yea, thanks for being here especially too. So upload something already! Ang
Oh Carlton, Your always such a bright spot in my day……… Let me see some worlds from your students soon! I am craving flyable worlds from others out there……… If you're up for it I'll send you a registered Windows flyer too……for the texture mapping. Same mouse control. Glad to…
Hi Jerry! Just a quick note to remind you that (I guess) this is not called the ASOFT forum any longer but rather AMMEDIA. (Is this correct Jonas?) Althought my WinCim never seemed to notice the name change, I have been directing folks to Asoft and they tell me there…
Absolutely. However, most of our existing clients are not working on VGA cards and the systems we install are usually start around $40 to $50 K by the time all the VR peripherials are added. The "IT" I was referring to is the low cost VGA solution with adequate performance…
> No programming needed. Today , just creative low polygon count models is the requirement. For speed, an acclerator card is necessary, not just VGA. But try it out with what you have. There is an adaptive mode to fly in wireframe until you stop to fully render. It helps…

> And the phone still feels like it is permanently affixed to my ear…….. oh well. FAX is (904) 376-0466. The fax machine is right next to me and I don't have anything from you so ?????????? Also, every call that comes in on the main line is entered into…
Some more discussion….. can you take it? I personally am very greatful for your feedback… granted this is very true…….. and we can all help it get there and benefit from being there when "IT" arrives, I hope. > If this is the case then I think that you are…
Yea, I know…. I've filed complaints already. They tell me that when you file a change of address form, in our town, all mail comes here to Gainesville, and then gets forwarded to Jacksonville before it gets rerouted back here to Gainesville. Pretty ludicrous isn't it? I feel like the…
continued from last reply………. And now ladies and gentleman for my never ending CDK display pitch. I really think I should get a check (or at least a credit on my account) from Autodesk for as many time as I go through this. I have asked previously, and I do…

Hi David, I got your message on Saturday, but I promised my boys, no computers, only gardening all weekend so I was involved in teaching my 9 yr old the age old art of double digging… Great fun. The garden is getting better every day.. Great feedback, and a lot…
This is a great testament for the postal service isn't it No I did not get your check yet. I am sure it will show up eventually. My mail has been rediculous since we moved our offices last month. Everything takes weeks to find it's way to us, even things…
David, Hi! My reply got kind of lengthy so I put it over in the CDK section…. Please check it out and get back to me……… Thanks for the feedback! All feedback is good feedback and I hope the answer helps somewhat to solve some of your problems. Keep flying!…
I have used the generic SVGA.EXE (256 colors) that we downloaded from the Microsoft forum for some older machines with some older cards. It worked with a few ISA cards here. I can't swear yours will but it's worth a try. It don't think it will help a Local bus…
#CDK NAVFlyer for Windows
Message #156829
A general announcement to all interested in Cyberspace…that perhpas don't visit the CDK section too frequently. The CDK section has a new upload: NAVFlyer for Windows NAVFLW.ZIP It contains a shareware interactive flyer for both DXF and 3DS files. 3DS files include the textures and animations. The version posted which…
Hello Danny T. I missed the beginning message you posted and I would like to see it if you could direct me to it. I have assumed from what I have seen that you are intertested in VR for architectural visualization. I invite you to look at some software available…
Oh I am glad to here that you will still be around for a while! Don't forget us! and the best of luck in your new endeavors. We hope that you will still find the time to come by here often……….. XXX OOO Angela
Farewell………….
Message #156129
I just wanted to post here for all to see how much we will miss you when you're gone. This being your last day here, how will the CDK section ever be the same again. It took so long to get someone from Autodesk to field all these questions, and…
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes I will upload my little trial city NAVCITY.3DS in the Showcase forum for some feedback. You are free to use anything from this model for yours. Let me know what you think and how we can fit in with what…
Hi Wade, I have gotten a few messages from you without responding so this is for all of them at once. > Think positive and go for it. Learn 3D Studio and model in low polygon counts. >>>>Okay, so tell me the best route to take in 3DS. I am…
Hi Jerry! >>>>>3D worlds are tougher, as people could pick objects/behavior out of the database and use them elsewhere. Hmmm, virtual collage?
