#MeshPaint Demo?
8 messages in this thread
Brent,
I'll order it directly from you. Nevertheless I'll give your contact to the
local 3DSTUDIO dealer, just in case he is interested. I thought you where going
to upload a demo. Are you?

Alvaro-
The demo was uploaded this morning so hopefully you should see it by tomorrow,
or at the latest, by Friday. The pre-release version is working great. The
name of the uploaded program is called 3D_Paint.zip.
If you decide to order you can call us at 1-800-365-1002. Our address is 1915
N. 121 Street, Omaha, NE 68154. and our fax is 402-403-6254.
After uploading the program, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to call us.
The non-save version will not allow you to load any 2D images to combine with
3D objects, but the regular version does allow that. You are also able to
create brush tips and stampers out of 2D images.

>> The demo was uploaded this morning so…
I did d/l it but have not yet tried it. I appreciate your demo and the
reviews have certainly been glowing.
But I am still going to mention a small nit here. Even though I followed the
instructions in the README.TXT file, I could not try painting. Why? I have my
main display set for 256 colors. The popup says that I must change to
truecolor. I do not see this in the README.TXT file. Or does everyone else
have their main display set to truecolor?
I trust you will consider this a positive comment.
Albert,
You are correct sir! MeshPaint 3D does require 16 bit or greater video display
to function properly. I was in such a rush to write the short text file that I
forgot it.
The performance of the program is dependent on both the speed of the processor,
and the speed of the video card. However, I've been able to enjoy it on even a
486 33 with a $75 video card.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Brent
I took a look at the program looks very cool…
Question, after painting my blob bear mesh, I noticed that the back of the
bear was painted
too, I set the U.V to none but no change.

Brandon,
What type of mapping were you using? Maybe we need to see the file.

I would just like to say congratulations on this absolutely incredible IPAS. It
is by far the most inuitive way of making bitmaps for objects ever! Even my
non-techy girlfriend took a sudden and suprising interest in using 3D Studio
after I showed her the demo. She then asked me if she could use 3D Studio since
it looks so EASY. So now, thanks to you, she has the impress that I have an
easy job <g>
The next step is real-time interaction and tactile feedback so I can feel and
touch the clay pot as I add bumps and mold it's shape. At the current rate of
new IPAS routines shipping that should be coming tomorrow <g>

David,
Thanks for the comments.

We had our salesman's girlfriend (who is a traditional painter) try it out with
similar results. She had never used a computer for art purposes before, yet had
painted a very realistic map for one of the 3DS Face models.
