Martin,
I wanted to complement you again on the great presentation you did on TSE at
the Graphics Symposium in NYC today. Also great news about the sale price!
There is no excuse for people not to get into scripting now! <g>

Sale price? Sale price!?
I'm ALWAYS in the market for another IPAS, particularly on sale. What's the
scoop?

A little bird told me that TSE might be soon available for $200. Plus, it'll
have a bunch of excellent scripts bundled with it.
I think that the power of the scripts that are freely available might justify
this new price, even to people who have no intention of writing their own.

I believe that $200 is a current sale price related to a show taking place in
NYC today (and yesterday). Hopefully MartinD can jump in to verify this.

David–
That's right. For a limited time, anyone can now call Schreiber Instruments and
get The Script Extension for 50% off — about $200. A press release appear here
shortly.
I'm glad you enjoyed the class.
Martin
Whoa! $200? That's the bargain of the century… How many sample
scripts does it come with, and what do they do?

Yep. Now that 3DS users are getting comfortable with the new Release 4 features
and scripting is becoming more established, we decided it was time to open
things up a bit!
>> How many sample scripts does it come with, and what do they do? <<
Well, I'm glad you asked! No fewer than 21 sample scripts are
included, not counting all TSE scripts here on CompuServe, many of
which we're throwing on the shipping disk just to make sure you get
them. The default set of scripts created for TSE include four AXP
scripts, four IXP scripts, eight PXP scripts, and five SXP scripts.
Most are commented extensively throughout, in addition to being
useful.

KABOOM!

Will these be available to those who are TSE owners already?
Wade —
If there are scripts you're missing, I'll be glad to email it to you.
Martin
Thanks.
Whoa… It's worth it for the sample applications ALONE.

Dear Martin,

I'm sorry I missed most of this conversation, but it appears that you produce a
very interesting product. I would be interested in more information; prices,
ordering info, etc.
Thanks,
Matt
Matthew:
Thanks for inquiring. The Script Extension is a plug-in product for 3D Studio
Release 4 which supplements R4's Keyscript keyframe scripting language with
scripting modules for the other IPAS plug-in types: PXP, AXP, IXP and SXP.
You can find a press release on The Script Extension in Library 9 called
TSEREL.TXT. You can also contact Schreiber Instruments for more details at 1-
800-252-1024.
I would be more than happy to answer any specific questions here, as well!
Martin
I'll second that. I think the MOST important news was the revelation from
"M" himself that once the script is working it is very easy for anyone
with a grasp of "C" to turn your script into IPAS.
Honorable mention should also go out to Tom Hickson (Schreiber) showing
Puppetteer's latest feature "Realtime face tracking" using Adaptive
Optics laser gear, Tim Forcade showing off samples of his new book
and putting on quite a show, Richard Enriquez (HSC) exploring Kai's
Gradient Designer for 3DS, and the guys from Positron showing off
Mesh Paint and DMM. It WAS the hot ticket this week.
