Hi all, I'm looking into picking up smacker for MM development – can anyone give me a thumbs up/down on it's compression/image quality? thanks -Kyle

G'day Kyle, Smacker is excellent for DOS, have almost finished authoring a complete MM CD title with it, and am very pleased with the quality, compression and speed. The updated Windows version is still not &*%$#'ing out, so am still waiting for it to release my title. Can give it a BIG thumbs up though! -Peter

Peter, can you be more specific as to the problems you've encountered with the Win version? – I'm relaying this info back to the programmers I work with and I'd like to be as specific as I can as far as potential problems go. what kind of errors are you encountering with your metaballs? I've successfully generated meshes with over 3,000 reference spheres, so it can't be that you have too many. thanks -Kyle

By the way, your Metaballs stuff is great, but I cannot get it to work well once I have over about 50 metaballs. It crashes like crazy, have I missed an update or something?? – Peter
