Somevhing I received off the INTERNET. I don't know anything about it, but I thought I'd share it with everyone here. ———————- 3D Studio Mail-List ———————- — WHAT IS 3D Studio? — 3D Studio is a 3D modeling, rendering and animation package from the makers of AutoCAD, AutoDesk. The software runs on the IBM/compatible platform. The 3D Studio software allows and artist to create three dimensional photo-realistic images for a variety of purposes. — WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? — This mailing list is for those interested in the 3D Studio software, how it operates and in ideas on how to obtain the best quality images available to them. The list is for those who own the software as well as those just interested in what can be done with the package. We hope to share information, tips, procedures and to bond as a group. — WHAT ARE THE RULES? — Since 3D Studio is just a part of suite of tools required to produce 3D graphics and animation, I'm sure we will discuss a few items related to the IBM/Compatible platform and display devices. However, we will strive to keep the subject revolving specifically around the 3D software, related tools and products. You do NOT have to own 3D Studio to join this list! — OK! HOW DO I JOIN? — To become a member of the 3D Studio mailing list you must send a mail message to the address: 3dstudio-request@bobsbox.rent.com In the body of the message enter: subscribe <address> 3dstudio Example: subscribe bobl@bobsbox.rent.com 3dstudio The listserv software will automatically subscribe you to the list and you can also unsubscribe the same way using unsubscribe instead of subscribe as the command you send to the listserv software — HOW DO I POST TO THE LIST? — Contributing to the list is simple. Just mail your articles to the following address: 3dstudio@bobsbox.rent.com Your article will be processed by the system and distributed to all others joined to the list. Your articles will also be sent to you so you know that your article has made it to the list. — HOW DO I QUIT THE LIST? — Simply mail a request to be removed from the list to the same address you used to sign up: 3dstudio-request@bobsbox.rent.com In the body of the message enter: unsubscribe <address> 3dstudio PLEASE, if you join the list and your account is going to be closed or if you will not be able to receive mail for a while, send a request to be removed from the list! If you are just going to lose access for a short while still send a request for a suspension of your membership. — WHAT ABOUT OLD ARTICLES? — I am currently archiving all the articles posted to the list at the originating site (bobsbox). However, I can not continue to do this due to lack of disk space. What we need is a volunteer that will maintain a compendium of articles sent to the list. They c

I subscribed to bobsbox for a while. I found lots of basic questions, and few people who had read the manual. I think there were a lot of students asking questions about R1 and R2. In any event, I didn't find much that I could use (no Yost answering questions). The final straw came when the mail list server dumped a half megabyte of old messages into my mailbox. I unsubscribed. FWIW, I haven't found a dedicated Internet newsgroup on 3DS yet. Evan
