Wayne: Volker Ackerman has suggested that I contact you by way of this forum in order to express my interest in assisting you develop and coordinate the Autodesk training curriculum. I am a graduate of the Ackerman Comprehensive AutoCAD school and successfully accomplished with Animator Pro and 3D-Studio. I have also paid my dues for a year at a local service bureau plotting every imaginable kind of AutoCAD, etc., drawing. My professional education and background is that of a creative thinker and visualist. I received my Masters in Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1987. The problems of developing integrated curriculum for Computer Graphics education are of cultural concern because of the convergence of different traditional disciplines and the technological evolution of software and hardware. These problems and challenges interest me in a keen way. Contact me. Show me a playing field where vision is met with action and rewarded with prosperity. Sincerely, Michael E. Bartlett (415) 331-5127

Greetings Michael! Thanks for contacting us. I would enjoy the opportunity to share our past experiences, visions and plans for the future and an exploration of how we might be able to collaborate on mutually beneficial projects in 1993. Let me know if you would like to do so by ach. My recommendation: if you need autotrace, use Pixel. If you need conversions between formats, use InterChange. t… it had some weird > problem at first with imagine files…but they fixed that… and > although its not perfect..at least it WORKS!! I have the most recent release of Pixel 3D Pro. Even simple things scrog the RAM disk or crash the machine. It still generates Enforcer and Mungwall hits. As far as I know, Pixel 3D Pro was sent to distributors, then they recalled it b discs. That is, if you pay to make 25 one-offs, you might as well get 500 mass-produced CDs. (3) How to write the spec — any way you can get the message across <G>. A good first step might be to decide which way you want to do it — in-house one-offs, in-house one-offs plus mass replication, out-sourced one-offs, or out-sourced one-offs plus mass replication. Decide what kind of format you want (if audio, go for Sony right now), and find the equipment and software that can handle it. I can help there ((I'll bet several people were just waiting for the commercial — I'm not' gonna do it. Fooled ya!)). Email me and I'll be glad to discuss it.
