Hi, Jonas! it's just an exctract from my message to Gary Yost (don't have time to retype): >because we are working on the Merkator 1.0, which will have three modules: > > a) Camera Mapping PXP (that we have now) and > Camera Mapping AXP (in developing) – for camera mapping in animation. > b) Refractive Mapping (in developing) – the set of four IPASES >(AXP,PXP,SXP,KXP) > The main part – AXP > All other parts are auxiliary, but they will provide some > additional capabilities (i.e., it will be possible to have > unlimited number of texture maps for the object). > c) Mobile Mapping AXP (in developing) > Gives the possibility to animate mapping on the object -) > the mapping can move, scale and rotate during animation. > >The next version (further in the future) will contain advanced versions of CM, RM and MM >and couple of new modules : Flying Mapping (AXP,PXP), Morphable Mapping >(AXP,PXP), >Sensitive Mapping (AXP,PXP). We plan to get it ready in 2 month, because it already exists as in-house IPAS. Just interface and some generalization, and it's done… The problem is, that I (we) want it (Refr Mapping) to be controlled from one place: Control Center. I mean, every module AXP, SXP, KXP, PXP to be called from one dialog and after execution returns to the same dialog. That's why I'm bothering you with all those questions. Good Luck, Alex, Video International P.S. If you need more info on Mercator, you welcome…
