Tyler… I've been asked to find some "hot modelers by a couple of cool clients…" So rather than just ask "are you a good modeler…" I've started a contest. Some folks are bitching because they don't like my rules, but so far so good. I have 3 models that have…
Gosh, Bruce… You seem to smell a RAT. Well, OK… Don't enter. I'll guess you are a fine modeler and we can leave it at that. Fair enough? PS, I need qualified judges… Can you help? Dr Pixel

Message #123432
Yikes… A customer with a 4 mb DXF file asks… "When we render this file 2 times in a row with NO changes… We get minor diferences in the pixels from image 1 to 2…" The dif pixels are off by 1-2 rgb values in about 5% of the total…
Jeez. You, Sir… Are a techno-guy… When the going gets tough, I call your wife. She offers a few kind words… ( like "don't call here again" or "Greg owns a gun…") and I'm off and running. The little yellow cable trick was one of your best. I hope someday…
Hey… The cool BXP seems slick… The A65 is tied to a SGI via this lil' yellow cable… The SGI's are tied to the PC's with a different, but similar little yellow cable… Hmm, I wonder… The net result is??? Dr Pixel, homie.

Message #119520
Hey… My cutomer is bleeding on the floor. Why would the join / append not work on one system, but then do it up on another? Are some updated drivers about, just waiting for a download or two…? Can you help me, oh god of the PAR? When the going…

#Skin allocation error…
Message #108913
Sirs, I'm trying to "skin" a letter O that I've created, but am receiving allocation error, attempted to get past end of allocated area, when I open the skin menu. I've uploaded skintech.zip containing my zipped project. What should I be doing differently? Thank you, Dan
Dave… Hey… Thanks for the cool info. I'm getting a good handle on this now! Thanks again… 256 really cool colors… Dr Pixel
JEA I pay dearly for a compliment… You sir, get a free car from your local Ford dealership. Drop by at lunch and say "My Dr. sent me to get a free car – I want that one…" They will hand you the keys and off you go… No Taurus…
Hey Ed… Thanks. I'll download those after this session. Your help / examples are very slick… Thanks two tons. Dr

Sorry… Got to toss in on this… If Yost et al are'nt going to be tied down… Cool. But I still think that resource has a way of being finite. If you are working on the SGI stuff, then you are not doing something else… I think we should look…
Thanks John… I wonder how many SGI's are ready for Studio rendering amoung us PC'ers… A fungus amongus Dr Pixel and his dog… Fuzzy Logic.
Well… I see a revision coming soon… The amazing Dr "Kreskin" Pixel

#3DS and MIPS Engines
Message #93043
Yea… I've an old Intel-a-vision… Can we port to it? Really! Why break the focus… By porting to a VERY narrow market… We spend resource chasing after a very few seats… And why? The marketing side of the phrase "We can run on SGI's…" The Dr does not buy it!…
