Just downloaded your demo…looks pretty cool! It is a great testimony to what can be accomplished in trueSpace (especially for us beginners!). I'll be sure to pick up the game upon release (summer?). One question… Is there a simple approach to choosing size/resolution for stills or .AVI's that will be…

Great Job with the new version of Exploder! I hope that others follow and "plugins" for trueSpace become a reality! I've been experimenting for several hours and am having great fun (I'll definatley send a check this week). One question though… I can't quite understand what I'm doing when using…

Saw your message to 75037,2200 about the student version. My univ. bookstore can get it but I'm not sure what the price is. Is there a standard price that the student version sells for? Does Adesk sell directly to students? Thanks AJ
