Greetings, I have always loved CI$ for the ability to get help/direction and new ideas. I just purchased 3DS on Friday and I am working up the learning curve. Below are my applications, expertise and questions. Thanks for your help! I am a research veterinary pathologist that hopes to use the images/data or concepts from 2-d and 3-d research images (via NTSC->VGA->2-d and confocal microscope->2-d/3-d images) to make animations. I use a CCD camera on a microscope to collect 2-d images for image analysis and a confocal microscope that uses laser light to make 2-d and/or 3-d real-time images over time using a super-cooled CCD. All images can be stored as *.TGA/TIF files. I am comfortable with 2-d graphics (e.g. Corel/Aldus/Adobe/ Arts & Letters/Fractal Design/etc.) and Animator Pro, but need help with both (A) info-sources and (B) add-on options for 3DS. I am also interested in (C) where the best place is to find new users also working to "master" this dramatic product . . . like news letter, user-groups. From this forum I have learned about IPAS products, tho I am uncertain how to find vendors, and lots of selected tips. Thanks for you help and ideas, john
