Harriet, many thanks for the word (both here and mail) about the compatibility tween Terrain and Silver. You are right; I must have been very sleepy the evening I convinced myself that they were not compatible. I am glad that you have made Silver 3.0 a first priority still, since (for my selfish purposes, at least) that is the most glaring hole in my work. thanks much. –jp-InterFont… great stuff! It has already saved me time on a commerical jo where time is where its at… now for a suggestion, or question: Could you build in (or have I just missed the capability) the ability to load an IFF pic (any res/size) behind the editing screen, and let the user move it around, so that I could trace around it? (and create the 3d stuff this way) You have build in genlock ability, but I can't figure out any way to trace logos that I have done in an IFF pic… I have to start from scratch… 2) in same line.. how about the ability to move the edit window around on the screen, so when you do genlock (or use an IFF pic) to trace, you can put the edit window over the portion of the screen you want? 3) How about the ability to independently specify the number of points in each spline, rather than having to use the same amount in each spline? I often have both small and large curves in the same object, and using a large number of spline points is wasteful for the small curves 4) how about the ability to 'bevel' the front and back of the object automatically? (ie. user specifies the degree of bevel, and the size of the bevel compared with the rest of the face, etc?) —————–anyway… you want suggestions? right? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! We're pushing you out here in Seattle… –jp–
