Hi Martin. I didn't realize that messages would dissapear so quickly. It took me a while to sign-on again, and don't know if you responded to my last message (repeated below with a couple of typos corrected). I am taking "early retirement" from IBM on July 30. After that I expect to access Compuserve much more often. I uploaded one of my animations (WAVE.ZIP) since my last message. I have created many other animations that illustrate the creation of 3D objects with AniPro, and will soon submit more. I will also be submitting animations that use only 3 or 4 frames. ———————– previous message —————– Your animation of the car is great! I am glad to have had it available. What does <g> at the end of your message mean? Your animation also came free with AniPro. I am a bit confussed by finding copyright notices is some of the animations that came with AniPro and statements in the license agreement (that place no limitations on the use of animations included with the package).

Ed, I replied to your message, but the scroll rate is something like 5 days on this forum, depending on traffic. >>Your animation of the car is great! I am glad to have had it available. Thanks. Glad you liked it. >>What does <g> at the end of your message mean? <g> means grin. >>Your animation also came free with AniPro. I am a bit confussed by finding copyright notices is some of the animations that came with AniPro and statements in the license agreement (that place no limitations on the use of animations included with the package). Much of the work on the cd-rom is for inspiration, not so much to be used. I don't have a problem with my stuff being used, although I can still hold a copyright on the material. There is some kind of official rules regarding the use of the cd-rom material (which are probably widely ignored). They probably state that you can use only the sample meshes and textures, but not the sample flics and images. However, some artists probably don't care too much if their stuff is used and a credit would be nice, and appropriate. Martin
