Well, actually, I have been drawing one cell, copying it to another cell, and then I just shift the camera by about so much. Using D3D, I havent' been able to get it so it displays quite right yet, so I have to fiddle with the arrow keys a bit. I've only had the package 2 days, and I'm going to exchange them for another pair. This pair had a rather nasty scratch across the lens (don't you just HATE returning neat things before you've had a chance to get bored with them?) On a semi related topic, I was trying to create a image for the specs, using four balls at the corners of a tetrahedron. Something wierd is going on. When I draw the sphere (using custom) and then try to color it, the color function seems to work OK, but if I check on the color later, every object shows up black! What am I doing wrong? I'm not doing anything fancy, like grouping, etc., and when I generate the images from the cells, I get a nice black screen (the good part….it only takes a little while to calculate) Have you guys used the Creative Microsystems Processor Accelerator? I'm thinking of getting one, if 1.3 ever comes out. With a 16 MHz 68000 and a 6881, it sounds like there should be some real speed increases here.
