#3D Modeling
Chad,
Thanks for replying to my message. To answer your question,
I'm planning to use 3D for the beginning of a school video which
opens with a few animations. I plan to make the opening to this
video using some ideas from the movies, most recently Stargate, and
T2. I guess most computer animators are fascinated by T2. I am, for
one. Anyway, I have Imagine 2.0, and I can't seem to get the hang of
it. Most likely because the Y and Z axes are switched. Today I
received a demo disk from Caligari. I haven't put it on my computer
yet, I'm kinda busy. I looking into making a computer animation
similar to Babylon 5's effect, but maybe a little bit less
sophisticated. You mentioned something about Lightwave. I heard
about it, but I haven't really looked into it. I've got a 66mHz
Pentium PC at the moment, but I looking into a 90mHz Pentium or SGI.
Do you know if SGI has the same programming language or is compatible
with PCs? I read a message from them that stated that their spruced
up Indy workstation is now $19,000! I looking into speed, quality
output that can be put on video tape, and a fairly simple interface.
You mentioned also in your note about IMHO. What is this? I don't
think I've heard of it.
