Martin: I've been hearing alot about the the script extensions (kind of like BASIC for all IPAS functions?). It sounds like you have something to do with this product. Anyway I can get on a mailing list or D/L a file out-lineing abilities and price. I dont have Schreiber's newst catalog and didn't see anything about in the latest DIGIMATION catalog. Who can I get it from? Any info would be great. Thanks, Scott.

Scott– The Script Extension takes the script core of Keyscript and implements it in four other plug-ins: a PXP, an AXP, an SXP, and an IXP. The end result is fairly comprehensive script control of 3D Studio. You're correct that I'm involved: my company developed Keyscript (for Autodesk) and The Script Extension. The latter is sold through Schreiber Instruments (800-252-1024); if you call them, they will happily put you on the mailing list and get you any information you need. If you upgraded to Release 4 of 3D Studio, you should have received a flyer in the box detailing The Script Extension. There is also a press release in the d/l are 9: "TSEREL.TXT". If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer them here, too. Thanks for inquiring. Martin

After reading the message about the marcing cubes method I was wondering if TSE support recursive function calls, or is this basic limitation of BASIC. DaviD "leftbranch(), rightbranch()" GouID

>> After reading the message about the marcing cubes method I was wondering if TSE support recursive function calls, or is this basic limitation of BASIC. << TSE's operation is identical to Keyscript. Neither support functions which call themselves (or other functions, for that matter). Recursion is accomplished through looping structures. Presumably, you're interested in creating a binary tree. This wont be so easy in Keyscript or TSE as it would be in C, but it should be possible. Unlike "real" basic, TSE & Keyscript should let you make gosub calls until you're blue, so with a little cleverness… Martin
