Hi Everyone, I am about to upload a few files to the forum that I wanted to mention, in case anybody's interested: 1) RealGirl.zip (to Images section) 2) GirlMesh.zip (to Mesh/Project Files section) 3) Car.zip (to Animations section) RealGirl.zip ============ RealGirl.jpg is 4 views of a racy female mesh in lingerie, which was produced using a new system in *one day*. The mesh is pretty simple for a human mesh (only 6500 or so vertex lattice), but is quite effective. The lattice was *exported* to 3DS & **re-skinned** with SKIN.axp, and the "lingerie" and other mapping demonstrates the precise parametric mapping you can retain within 3DS. **Anyone offended by a female mesh in lingerie should avoid this upload.** …long story short, I've been working with a company which is about to release an amazing, very complete B-Spline modeler, and a book I'm writing on B-Spline modeling with specifics related to this package. You may be interested to know that polymeshes can be flawlessly exported to 3DS. But, what's really interesting is that the *lattice* can be exported, and RE-SKINNED and parametrically mapped in 3DS using YG's SKIN/SLICE routines ! This archive also includes several text documents formatted for Windows Write or the 3DS Text Editor. A pointer to the uploads with additional information will also be temporarily posted to TAKE5, if nobody minds. (See the TAKE 5 section for more info) GirlMesh.zip ============ GirlMesh.zip is the actual 3DS Skin lattice mesh project after importing and applying Skin.axp. Note that the mesh was not really built to be animated, requires YG's SKIN.axp, and does not include the maps (sorry). Car.zip ======= In case there's anyone out there that isn't familiar with BonesPro & Lenz F/X by now, this is a highly edited flic of a cute little car. This is basically just the car composite layer made into a flic from the original NTSC frames. A lot of editing was done to remove frames, in order to get this flic under 1MB. The BG and other scene elements have been removed for this purpose as well. Therefore, the motion is not ideal after extensive editing. Nevertheless, it shows BonesPro doing it's thing well, and shows a simple but effective use of Lenz F/X envelopes. It's just 200×150, so you may want to use a 640×480 flic driver to "blow up" the playback. Regards & Enjoy, BILL
