CompuServe Messages

>>Are there good 3DS sites on the Internet that I should know about. I would like to see more examples of everyones work, but Compuserve is too expensive. Are the Compuserve 3DS Libraries available on the Internet? I'm also interested in any Internet locations for AAS and IPAS.<< The only major mesh/IPAS ftp site on the net thus far is called "AVALON" and is at avalon.datalabs.com. There are three usenet areas where you see 3DS talk: alt.3d, alt.3d.studio, and comp.graphics.packages.3dstudio. All three have been pretty horrible so far, mostly consisting of clueless pirates and people who wish to be clueless pirates. The *real* action so far is on the 3DS mail list that Autodesk maintains. Send email to majordomo@autodesk.com for details. >>Also, why isn't 3DS mentioned anywhere on the Autodesk homepage at www.autodesk.com?<< Rumor is, a major 3DS WWW page is to be announced by Autodesk at Siggraph.
