//I just got and love your Blob modeler! I built a reasonable head & shoulders bust with it //in a few minutes. I want to use it to build a cave structure so I can move inside. thanks! did you get version 2.0a for DOS? There's an awesome image that someone did in the GUGRPA forum, New Images section named "BALIEN.JPG". It's an alien head with a "leather type" texture. Very impressive! //There are a great number of things that could be done to improve the user interface, as //you are probably aware. Do you have plans to enhance this program and are you //looking for suggestions? Please feel free to comment! I'm always trying to improve the program. Initially it started as a very simple program so some of the suggestions I've received require "boku" re-write. //BTW, twice I have gotten "A serious math error occured! Results may be inaccurate", //both on my 486/66 and my Pentium/66. I don't remember what I was doing the first time //this happened, but just now it was after I had changed the blob threshold a few times //and did a few previews, then tried moving a blob. When this happens, it takes a bunch //of ESC presses to get rid of the message. The first time this error occured, the program //quit with "too many errors" or a similar message. Try to figure out what exactly you were doing so I can check it on my side. //Is there a practical limit to the number of blobs? I put several dozen into the head //model I did. whatever the limit of RAM (no EMS/XMS is used 🙁 ) you have. //The first time on each machine that I saved a blob, it presented me with a suggested file //name that was binary character garbage. Once I accidentally clicked on the garbage //filename and it made a file with a binary garbage name in my directory. yes, I have to fix that one. //The DXF loading in 3DS in takes a _long_ time. Have you considered writing a binary //DXF to save disk space? I'm not sure, but I think I remember that a binary DXF will load //faster. yes it does – I gues I'll have to bite the bullet and just do it. //Anyway, thanks for the program. It is GREAT fun. From the docs it looked like you may //have a MS Windows version. Is this a fact? yes, but the Windows version is already laggin – it doesn't support cylinders/cones. Still it's a good version.
