Terry Do you happen to have the # for Model Master's on-line service? Gary
John Sounds as if you own the Ketiv CD….. does the collection include a 3ds mesh for a high wing light plane(such as a Cessna)? I thought there was one shown as part of the magazine ad? Any help is appreciated
mike could you also include me for a mail out of sxp's…Gary
Prices, Por Favor!
Serge The "Black" letter!….was that the actual letter you quoted? The odd thing about that letter was that it seemed choppy, fragmented and…..well, kind of adolescent! After reading it again I think you may have been flamed by a young prankster or in other words someone pulling a prank that…
Serge Judging by the sprit in which these toys were created and your unique personality I can't imagine why you'd even read the first line of a negative letter on any related topic! The joy and spirit of exploration both in using your free toy's (key factory also) and wondering…

David Thanks, 3ds doesn't like alpha as you said! I tried Losing alpha but still getting the same recults. In the Mat Ed the cube display shows an ellipse cutting into the top of the cube and going across to the far face! Still i only get this prob when…
Kevin What will be the procedure for acquireing the modeler? pardon the naive question but I can't even get the people I got 3ds from to return a phone call! The last time we talked they didn't understand the relationship between me, him, the r4 patch and Autodesk so therefore…

Message #187222
Bob In the case that one works at different 3ds locations, one must be careful of one's distribution of mapping sources mustn't one? Too many times I've found out too late that too much has been spread over too many files and that too much time is wasted configuring at…

Hey, Where's the Beef!!
Message #185076
Jonas I see! r4 then r5. at Max's release(r1) will the upgrade choices be simple choices based on the tight hardware requirements of NT and our specific work environment (and normal upgrade costs) or will upgrade be a question of reinvesting an all new product in order to stay on…
Kevin During the release of R4 the rumor factory here on C$erve decided that r4 was going to cost a mint and that the little guy would be forced out because the total upgrade package (plugins) was going to cost a mint. With r5's release i can see the r4…
#Max…..Quantos?
Message #184581
Kevin At release 4 the rumor mill predicted (unjustly) an upgrade price which would bring the small bussiness users to their knees! Didn't know about the Bspline modeler Now at the release of Max, I'm wondering if the small business guys were a little premature……r5 is HERE! Don't say it's…

Ohhh, Laurie I think it might be where the other center is……………….Just opposite the spiritual bellybutton, of course! since Nepal is the bellybutton then (i'm guessing now) the insertion point would be somewhere between Oklahoma City and Amarillo, Texas (home of the Big Boy where nuclear wareheads are made)(G)!!

Anne The stand? Long ver for me too! One of the best books I can remember reading in a long time! I can't usually read S. King because…………well….I..I'm a wimp! ok, there I said it and I'm glad!! I read "Thinner" and the twisting end made me want to go…
Anne: >>>>>>>>> BOO HOO!!……………………..no! However my wife is being very generous lately ….she seems to want me to "sleep with the fishes" or something like that!! I take this to mean she doesn't mind if I go to the coast…..? I can't imagine living in surroundings that don't "stink, stab,…

#Microstation MAC to 3ds?
Message #176852
All I have a possible client who is Mac based Microstation cad, they have the latest ver which does everything short of posting nasty MAC messages to the Adesk forum (G)!! They swear that they interviewed a student lately who has some AMAZING results from Microstation rendering (I doubt it)…
Christophe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There's an architectural firm in Houston called Architectural Image whose partner-in-charge of "whatever" decided it was a good idea to archive all it's meshes of structures created from the early days of 3d CG! Now the firm supplies background for clients such as Disney………The article I read says…
