Heh heh. I've got *scads* of little 3D objects, except they were all
created on Amiga and Atari ST systems. Data is data, right? Can I still
enter the contest? I sell a program on the Amiga called InterChange that
converts 3D objects from one format to another, as well as tools that
operate on 3D objects. I've got a converter for AutoCAD format up and
working to some degree. I will be uploading some example pictures and 3D
objects in the next few weeks, perhaps contigent on things I learn at the
Chicago AutoDesk show. I've got rights to a fair number of 3D objects, I
also sell disks of premade 3D objects to animators and artists on the
Amiga. How about an animation of the AutoCAD robot arm, with hierarchical
motion, swinging around? TIE fighters? 3D space shuttles? Human figures?
Volkswagens?
A question about coloring these objects: I can support the minimal
eight-color settings described in the AutoCAD manuals, but what system of
coloring would work best in the most common AutoCAD setup? Is the mapping
from AutoCAD colors to ADI colors always implementation dependent?
