JKJ,
How's the digitizer working?

JNJ,
The digitizer works very well.
I've been more than swamped the last few weeks, with not even enough time to
get my modem software working again till just now. I completed four major
animation projects in the last two months with several more waiting till I get
time.
I played with the digitizer for a few days several weeks ago. Very high
quality, precision made. Difficult to use, like all manual digitizers, but
capable of building things otherwize impossible.
I got the Mira Hyperspace software with it – man, 3DS really spoils you when it
comes to 3D object creation and editing. Those programmers would do well to
sit down with 3DS for a while and learn about efficiency. I talked to their
Windows programmer – he had barely heard of 3DS!
I have a fox skull partially digitized and a lion skull waiting. I went to
visit FARO in Florida and spent the day with one of their engineers designing
features for a digitizer IPAS. We'll see how that works out!
I'm leaving in a few hours for two weeks of wandering aimlessly around Utah,
Colorado, and CA. The sketchpad and binoculars go. The laptop stays home.
Talk to you later. <g>
