Concerning a Conversion Module for Caligari… we'll definitly take the reader module for now and the full implementation when you can get it done. I don't think that you will exactly get stinking rich off of it but there is definetly some demand for it. As an Amiga retailer I would try to price it somewhere around that of say the Turbo Module… speaking of which, we are looking forward it with anticipation.

Duane, re the Caligari program… I understand it's claim to fame (for an affordable price, anyway) is its object editor? I have the demo of Caligari. Is the editor the same in the 'consumer version'?? What did they take out of the pro version? –jp–

From the Pro version of Caligari they removed just about everything but the editor. The personal version is only the editor… no animation, no video deck controller etc. I realy can't see the reason for the personal version unless John Foust releases the Interchange module for it. The personal version really dosen't do anything excep a great edititor. P.S. The solid modeling is the pits.. dithering is not as good as say PageRender 3D.

BTW… Impulse was talking about an ARexx interface for TS SV. Do you know if they implemented it and if so what are some of the detail. Sure would be nice if there was an interface into Diamond as well.

OK so I am talking to myself… I'll get the hang of this thing one of these days.

Duane, IF there is an ARexx interface in TSilver SV, I haven't found it** I do wish that there was one… I agree that paint programs would be nice to add to the ARexx group, but more important (to me, at least) are programs such as Butcher and PixMate… I can't count how many times I have wanted to batch process a whole lot of files, doing the same thing to each of them, and had to do it manually… Encore helps, as does Multiplane, but an ARexx interface would be SWELL. ttfn –jp–

The ARexx hook was taken out of SV at the last moment. Look for it in the next rev which is a couple months away.
