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… Connie

<<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>> 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. -Brian

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 – Jim
