<<We are now working on a big project of Virtual Reality in the medical field.>> Gee, Virtual Reality, that must be interesting I bet you have a degree in Rocket Propulsion. How many Silicon Graphics machines have you got since I only know how to use the Indigo Extreme. <<For this project we need experienced 3D Studio artists.>> I know how to make a box and if you ask nicely enough maybe a sphere. I hope you don't need too much realism in your project since I don't like texture maps and prefer to use POV for all my complex modelling. I can't speak a word of French but talk English with a really bad Australian accent. I hope ya don't mind mate. <<If you are interested, contact us:>> I don't know. If you are interesting I might be interested in being interested in you. <<or through Compuserve>> Hmmm, I wonder if anyone could ever find a job through CompuServe? Maybe I should try….how about I come around to your joint(Australian colloquilism) tomorrow around 6pm and see what you've got. By the way do you have brown eyes. I ONLY work for Project Managers with brown eyes. ONLY KIDDING LAURENT!!! <g> See ya tomorrow. DaviD "There must be 3 million Laurents in France and only 2 million Davids" GouID

David HEY! Nobody in this forum except us hobbyists, the ones stuck on the tutorial to "Deform Fit model Boogers for Mount Rushmore"! Tssk! How American!! Can anyone get a job thru Cserve? I don't know but I'm picking up Jim Murphy for the 5:00pm feature of Johnny M tomorrow evening, we could swing by and pick up you and Laur in my Caddy. You could sling the ol' SGI Indigo Supreme in back (or just use mine) and maybe we could get a serious game of Solitaire' going!! I got a case of Road Knight Icin' as we speak!! Hope you land the big one! Is he from Delphine? Ask him when the English version of "Crossfire" and and "Heart of Darkness" will be here? Gary

I don't know if you sent this to the wrong person, but hey I'll jump in. <<HEY! Nobody in this forum except us hobbyists, the ones stuck on the tutorial to "Deform Fit model Boogers for Mount Rushmore"!>> Gee, and all this time I thought you Americans were stuck on the Deformt Fit model of a Hotdog Stand with extra mustard. I could never quite get the decal bitmap "Have a nice day!" on the side of the stand to align properly <g> <<Can anyone get a job thru Cserve?>> I'm working freelance for the company mentioned so Compuserve it is a good point of contact, though there isn't so many offers here in France, since CompuServe isn't as well known. <<You could sling the ol' SGI Indigo Supreme in back (or just use mine) and maybe we could get a serious game of Solitaire' going!!>> Sure, I'll be waiting at the door at 5pm and don't break the date! <<Hope you land the big one! Is he from Delphine? Ask him when the English version of "Crossfire" and and "Heart of Darkness" will be here?>> Huh?? Gary, are you any relation to Kevin Gibson or were you both sharing the same fallout shelter during some atomic testing? DaviD "What's a nice animator like me doing in a place like this?" GouID

David With regards to "Heart of Darkness". It's a Paris developed, animated, Interactive movie I thought was only available in Europe and was already released! I misunderstood the release date for the cd and after looking a little closer it's the 4th quarter of 95. Sorry! I guess I owe you a better explanation for "Heart Of Darkness"! I get a magazine called "Next Generation" that is a gaming industry publication that reviews Studios and producers of new product. The mag also reviews the insane world of the corporate giants, their talented employees, the platforms they development and development techniques. In the June issue there is a large article about a Paris based studio called Amazing Studio that ( through Virgin Interactive in London) is releasing a pc based cd game called "Heart of Darkness", which has been under development since 1992. Amazing Studio is a 12 man company . A guy named Frederic Savoir is the lead coder and Eric Chahi the lead animator. It's supposed to set a new definition for "Interactive Movie" and what's unique about it's development is that the design team tested hardware/software combinations prior to production and decided against SGI in favor of 3dstudio. "We thought about using Silicon Graphics and we tried them, " says Eric Chahi "But they're expensive and so is the software. They were very good but when we tested them (end of 1993) they were full of bugs and for the price that is unacceptable." It's a very exciting article and even though I'm far from that industry I think the effort that their product is absolutely INCREDIBLE! I guess Paris is a pretty big town, huh! The photo of the development team makes them look like French underground……..minus berets and striped shirts, of course!!<G> See you tonite, unless I can't get my car out of the shop! Gary

Just your standard 3DS user right? <<See you tonite>> Yep, in spirit but not in body. DaviD "3DS was my first near death experience" GouID
