Ok, here's a list of files that you might be interested in, let me know what you think. (I've listed the latest version of the product date [to the best of my knowledge]). Midnight Modeller 1.0 MNM100.ZIP (7/1/94) Modelling package to create POVRay files. BLOB Sculptor 1.0 BLOBW.ZIP (6/6/94) Creates…
Actually their are quite a few nice programs like the ones you mentioned. Are you simply looking for conversion software to get to a DXF file format or are you looking for BLOB / POV CAD software? I have seen all of these types of programs on the graphics developers…
Imagine 3.0 objects
Message #83619
>>Check out World Render 3D. It's a converter that does 15 different formats and has a simple editor, too. There is a demo version in Graphdev Forum. I think it's $199 or something. I think it's worth it.
Maybe someone should look at porting the Amiga OS to PowerPC (on Workplace OS). It could be touted as a production studio OS and allow hooks to NT, AIX and OS/2 (and whatever else is available on Workplace OS). Anyhow, I think the PC and MAC people have gotten pretty…
#Commodore
Message #81546
Hi. Does anyone know if the rumor is true that Commodore went out of business? I saw this coming a long time ago, so I switched to the PC using OS/2. I hope some of the great Amiga Developers out there are planning on porting to OS/2. Bill Raymond Intec…
#Strange Tubes
Message #81545
Hi. I am trying to create an object that looks like a bent tube (ie taking a metal tube and bending it in half to form an arc). I haven't quite figured out the easiest way of doing this, but I have a hard time believing it would be that…
3.0 woes
Message #80259
You think you have a problem?!? I just recieved (on Friday), a tightly sealed box containing an Imagine 3.0 manual and a page of text telling me how to install the disks. Unfortunately, there were no disks! Bill Raymond Intec Controls
That's a fairly broad question, but here's what I use and reccommend to my customers: 1) 486/66 (as you may or may not know, a 66 is actually a 33MHz machine with a 'clock doubler' chip) or a 60MHz Pentium. 2) For optimum performance, get a machine with PCI Local…
#How do I build a LAN?
Message #78660
Hi. For your questions concerning TCP/IP and Internet access, I suggest you re-post this message in CompuServe's Internet forum (GO INETFORUM). These people are really good with questions like this, and will give you a much more informed answer than I could. As far as an OS to put onto…
SGI-Imagine??!
Message #78562
If you are looking at the PowerPC, which OS are you looking to do development work in (ie OS/2, NT, AIX, etc.)? Other than Apple releasing they're version of the MAC for PowerPC, the whole PowerPC market hasn't really been determined. Are you planning on developing on an existing OS…
I am by no means a networking expert, and I haven't networked Amigas before, however I have setup an ethernet network with PCs in my company. You may wish to look into some sort of TCP/IP network, that allows you to use COPY commands to move files from one computer…
#New Release Dates…
Message #78127
Hi. I was just wondering if it was technically possible for you to create some sort of permanant message explaing (maybe in great detail?) what new version is next, what the upgrade costs are from the oldest to newest packages, what is available now, etc. It seems that everytime I…
I seem to be having the same problems (but with ACAD release 12).
Thanks for everyones help. That step-by-step example was great! I do have two more questions concerning particle animation: 1) Is there a way to make that sphere completely 'dissolve' onto the ground? (when the sphere dissolves now, the bottom portion is still there). 2) Is it possible to have the…
#Particle Animation
Message #75216
I'm trying to learn more about particle animation in Imagine 2.9 (for DOS). I'd like to give an example of what I'm trying to do, and just see what everyone has to say –because I'm lost 🙁 I place a ground object into the stage editor (at its default position).…
Do you have a phone number or address? Thanks for the help. -Bill
#Essence
Message #74598
I would like to purchase these Essence textures everyone's hailing around here. Could someone please get me a contact name/number? Also, I have these DOS version of Imagine, is there a way to get the textures to work under Imagine for DOS?
What Imagine CD-ROM? Is it available on IBM format?
I have been using the DOS version of Imagine since its first release. Honestly, the first release gave me quite a few headaches. Version 2.9 however, is great! I have run into only small (not even mentionable) problems, and the technical support is very good. The only two things I…
#Marblizing
Message #72430
I am using Imagine 2.9 for DOS and have been wrestling with the Marble texture for quite a while. I have 2 questions and 1 tip: 1) When using the AGATE texture, I get something that doesn't look anything like a rock (at least in my opinion). I've tried adding…
