I don't mind if you ask about the InterChange Silver module. I haven't done any
work on it for several weeks. Syndesis is a two-programmer company, and we do
everything, so it's one thing at a time. So I've been working on the Forms In
Flight module before the Silver module. We are shipping it Saturday at
AmiExpo. I've been testing the bejesus out of it all this week. We are also
shipping our first Syndesis object disk at AmiExpo.
Perhaps you can help me with the Silver module, in a way. I think I might have
mentioned these things before, but here goes again. My partner doesn't want to
release a Silver module unless it converts everything both ways. That means
converting Silver solids to triangles or polygons. I'm not fired up about
writing those routines, because I'm sure it wouldn't be worth it because the
other programs would take forever to render them. Similarly, Silver objects
that are made up of several hundred triangles will take a long time to render,
too. I can give you some sample triangular Silver objects that come from
Sculpt, and you could render them for me… I'm not that good with Silver, and
wouldn't be sure if I was doing everything in an optimal fashion. In
particular, I haven't played with the bounding surfaces enough to know how to
place them to speed the rendering.
