>> start with the face (or hand in your case), make a second copy, and using that copy, move the vertices around so that it's virtually flat Hmmm. What I'm wondering is how you get the hand to become a flat surface on the edges. If I make a mesh…
Thanks for the info. I'm intregued about the red/green glasses solution. How did you go about changing the colors appropriately afterward? Does this approach limit you in the types of materials you can use in designing the scene? -Jason Kirtland
Thanks for the tip! I don't have an interface for the 3D glasses yet, but when I do I'll give that a try immediately! The CKD is Autodesk's new Cyberspace Developer's Kit. For more info, look in the library for Autodesk's news release stuff, and check out the thread "Cyberspace…
Check out John Morrison's note: A much better description than I could have given. I'm just an avid 3D Studio user and student… finishing my thesis this semester (about two dozen still images done w/ 3DS) and then _moving to California!!_ When most messages get answered with "why don't you…
Hi Jerry, Sorry about that bum lead on the cyberspace thread here… (a few weeks back) There were a few messages, but nothing developed from them. Do you know of any electronic copy of John Walker's paper "Through the Looking Glass: Beyond 'User Interfaces'"? I frequent Graphics Developers pretty often…
#Embossed Mesh
Message #37107
I'm trying to create a flat surface with an object "pressing" it's way out of it. Let's say that it's a table top, and the idea is to have a hand pushing up from underneath. I've tried using the lofter, hand on one level, quad on another, but placing all…

Does anyone know a way to produce 3DS images compatible with LCD shutter glasses viewing? (Or do I have to shell out $2500 for the CDK?) -Jason Kirtland

Anil, Allthough I am not a part of Autodesk, I emailed you a speech given by Randal Walser [adesk] entitled "A De Facto Anti-Standard For Cyberspace." This paper deals with Autodesk's reasoning for the development kit approach to VR. The 'Trix' programming language refered to in the paper is not…
MATLIB sharing
Message #33790
Hi everyone, Just a note wondering if anyone found the matlib I uploaded useful. If so, I am almost ready to upload another. I am keeping them small due to the number of gifs in each matlib. I have an improved brushed map, and am working on an ice material,…

Do you have any way that I can email to John Walker in Autodesk? I can't find the name in the member directory, but I couldn't find Gary Yost that way either. Thanks.
#IPAS Ideas
Message #33538
Here are some ideas for IPAS routines I came up with… An SXP for pitted effects. Variables would include depth and radius of (circular or irregular) pits, number of immediatly neighboring pits, and distance between pits. Note that overlapping is possible, and this could generate anything from golf balls to…

Install.exe for 3DS
Message #33530
I recently installed 3DS V2.01a and have some suggestions on making your install program a little more upgrade friendly- Allow for a more selective install. I painstakingly removed all of the maps for materials I deemed non-useful to me and was dismayed to find them reloaded back into the directory.…

I have the first MATLIB ready to go, but I can't upload it. I think I have to wait for my permenent password. In the mean time, I encourage anyone else to contribute! -Jason
Sharing MATLIBS
Message #31772
I don't know if you've been monitoring the responsed to my suggestion for sharing 3D Studio matlibs, but suggestions have been made to upload them. I am very new to compuserve, and I was wondering if you could drop me a line and tell me where I would upload to,…
Rick, I just looked through my matlib and found some non-scene specific materials that might be of interest: A reflection map that gives metals a "brushed" or scratched look. Useful for de-sterilizing metalic scenes. A trashed copper material. An improved concrete tile, produces excelent sidewalk tiles. A collection of "molten…
Sharing MATLIBs
Message #31632
Is anyone interested in exchanging some 3D Studio materials? I know that I have materials that I like and would share, I might even be talked into sharing my secret powdered doughnut material. Anyhow, getting some group together could help all of us expand our libraries and creativity. Let me…
