I would like a COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE on what IPAS routines are and how they are used. Also can I use then with POV Ray tracing program? I do all my animation in Pov but I still like to know about other programs. I have seen 3DS but the person using it does not know anything about IPAS. Productive comment would be appreciated. Thanks 🙂 Andy

<< details of "What is IPAS?"..?>> download IPAS.txt from section #9 "what's new" of the libs. " " IPAS3.txt from section.." " download vapor.zip and skin.zip from section #9 " …… " ipas.txt is a list of all shipping IPAS' ipas3.txt is lecture notes from Gary Yost's lecture on IPAS vapor shows an animation using a vapor ipas along with a screen shot of the UI. Skin shows a screen shot of the underlying skeletal system along with a skinned animation. For detailed IPAS programing insights, download all of the current files in section #14, "Software Dev. Kits." jonas[adesk]

I wrote a description of the IPAS concept and a summary of what's both included with and available now for 3DS, and some of what is coming, as a Reply in the "3DS vs. Topas Pro" Thread in the 3DS section. You might find that useful. But hurry, since CIS only keeps messages for a few days!

If there are enough requests, I just may do that. Do you really think it's "great"? I thought it was pretty good at best, but I'm no writer.
