#TextureUniverse Indexing
4 messages in this thread
Does anyone know why the Texture Universe does not have the ability to
create another index? I was under the impression that the windows browser
could build an index file, but I can only use textures from a different CD
within 3ds3 browser.
Also, if you know where I can get a good color book for texture
universe/3ds please let me know as I really dont want to have to deal with
making one myself.
Thanks,
Byron
p.s. If I can't find a premade book, is anyone interested in splitting the
printing cost if I make one and print it offset/color laser?
Hi, Byron. Saw this message after I replied to your previous
message…although I have absolutely no experience doing this type of
undertaking, I would be interested in discussing it in more detail…I may be
amenable…

Sorry, no. Only the 3DS Browser has that capability. The windows Browser only
access the CD ROM. In DOS, you can also use the ANIPLAY utility, which ships on
that disk as well.

I agree with you, the best way to utilitze both CDs is with a hardcopy
reference in front of you while you work with the materials editor. I've
thought of creating one, figured I'd wait until I had a color printer. However,
if I was color laser printing several copies, the cost goes down. We can print
as tight as you want (in terms of the size of the texture image sample), but
the service bureau I work with charges $15 for an 11×17, then $5 for each extra
copy of the same image. so if we use a 1" square tile, we could put about 160
images on one page.
It would be best if someone interested in the project had the Fargo or other
Dye-sub type printer. The quality is a lot better and I think the price might
be lower, although materials cost on dye-subs is about $3/page. Print size is
about 8×10 on a letter size sheet, sometimes less.
Regardless, I'm interested in it, keep me informed –
