Hi Yost, >You can only use the files in the SAMPLES/MESHES and SAMPLES/TEXTURES directories for profit-making ventures. The files in the SAMPLES/FLICS and SAMPLES/IMAGES directories are examples of 3DS renderings FYI only, and they may not be re-used for any other promotional purposes. Do you mean the MAP subdirectory? with 800x600s bumps chaos clouds etc

Brian, The texture maps in the SAMPLES\MAPS directory _are_ useable for profitable ventures. I oughta know, I did a large portion of them. Have fun and good luck. James

James, Since you did a large portion of the images in the Samples\Maps directory could you enlighten us as to how they were done. Were they done with a video camera or with a still camera and scaned? Lately I have been shooting stills and will have them developed into Kodak Photo CD's. Just wondering 🙂 BTW, nice job…they have been very useful to me. -Ralph

Ralph, Actually for all the maps I did, I just put the objects right on the scanner, I did use a piece of acrylic to protect the glass for the marble samples. The marble samples also required a drop or two of water to smooth over the little surface scratchs. Much cheaper than film. James

>> for all the maps I did, I just put the objects right on the scanner, What a great idea. Hadn't even thought of that one. I'll bet that was hard to do with the clouds <BG> Thanks for the info! -Ralph Frantz
