Egg Head software has a $69 program called "Virtual Reality Animator". It is a VERY interesting animator. It does 3D, 256 colors hidden surface models (nothing else). But you an animate and produce sound from objects in responce to other objects. For example have a door open automatically as you approach, or throw a ball and what ever it hits blows up(with sound). You can actually make your on video games. We are trying a customer room walk through now, where we will send them the "game" and they can walk or fly under mouse control. We don't have to fix the path. Seems like it will help with simulation because it's interactive. Combined with a PLAYER .FLI photorealistic rendered model, should give a competive edge. Buck

Buck, I've seen VR Studio, but not VR Animator at Egghead. There is a demo of VRS over in ComArt Lib 13, Virtual Reality (file is VRSDMO.ZIP, i think). It is a game construction kit too. The demo is basically a single adventure type game. There is another upload that tells how to find all the gold and fly away in the space shuttle. Some people have uploaded some other worlds they created with VRS. Check lib 2 and 3 for the new worlds. ComArt uses these as "New Uploads" and "Last Months Uploads". files sort of migrate around a bit. Jerry Isdale
