<< Once you've worked out the algorithms, you may be able to work a deal with
one of the current IPAS developers to develop it into a .PXP and market it,
with you getting a cut. >>
Very true. I will, indeed, have to check out the ASC format. As I said, I can
envision all the algorythms, I'm just not heavily into programming enough to
really even DESIRE to do all the tweeking and debugging to get susch a routine
down just right to market it on my own.
I'll probably wait for MAX before I do much more than just playing with it,
however, becuae I'm certain MAX will have certain types of intelligent mapping
of its own, and GY said there wouldbe controls in MAX to allow you do structure
mapping the way you see fit.
I might put more energy into the development of an ARCHITECTURAL add-on for
3DS, anyways, to bridge the gaps between parametric objects in 3DS, and CAD
accurate shapes and measurements built in AutoCAD.
