17 messages in this thread
Okay, sounds like it's time to start a contest!
************** NAME THAT RELEASE ******************
Will it be called "3D WinStudioNT 95"?
or "NTGlintStudio3D"?
or "Zowie3D-NTstudioPlusXL"?
All AMMEDIA forum members, with the exception of those employed by Autodesk or
the Yost Group and their relatives are eligable to enter.
Just post your guesses (under Take 5, please) and the winner (should there be
one) will get a free beer at the ASOFT party at SIGGRAPH 95! (Must be 18 or
older to enter.)
All guesses must be posted by midnight, August 5th, 1995.
What about `Ooeeecheckitout!`And what`s this party everyone`s talking about?
HA!
How about 'Autodesk 3D Studio for Windows NT?'
Nawwww…..

Gary,
Um, Victor, a guy I work with at Acclaim, walked up to the president of
Alias/Wavefront at the last SGI user group meeting and said, "Hey, I just
thought of a new name for your company!"
The prez asked, "what is it," whereupon Victor said, "Well, you just take the
end of 'Alias' and the end of 'Wavefront' and you get. . . [he pronounced]
AssFront!"
I kid you not.
— Jon
Wonderful, I'm sure Acclaim truly appreciated their employee displaying the
tact and intellect of a 3rd grader.
Just think …. now that Victor has done such a wonderful job demonstrating his
wordplay prowness, he can proudly display it at the top of his list of
accomplishments.
It would no doubt make a fantastic addition to his resume.
Paul
Good grief.
– G
CHEATER!!! NO FAIR!!!
How about "3D Studio NT – Go BIG or Go Home!"
With a sidebar of "ALPHA version available too!"
That would produce many <g> <g> <g> <g>'s…

Dave:
You gonna be at SIGGRAPH?
How about:
1. Lightwhat?
2. 4D Studio
3. Athens (Mysterious code name like Chicago, Daytona or Cairo)
4. SoftElectricWavalias for NT
5. Renderpalooza!
6. 3D Studio for NT/CWAKIPASR (Complete With All Known IPAS Routines)
7. Gary's Power Tools

If you take the Athens theme and combine it with the Renderpalooza cadence, you
get a good one… Renderopolis!
– G
Gary:
Renderopolis, I'd buy into that, hey – it would make a good name for the
Studio City 2000 project in ASHOWCASE.

Bob:
I particularly liked "SoftElectricWavalias for NT", but just remember to
pronounce it with a French accent on the "alias" part! (Or maybe call it
"SoftFromage"!<g>
(Q. to D. Gould — that IS the way to spell "cheese", isn't it?)
Dave
<<(Or maybe call it "SoftFromage"!

Yep. You mean a fondu <g> OK, everyone get around the pot with a chunck of
bread ready, we're going to use SoftFromage!

Without giving away the real name of the next release, I did infiltrate the
Autodesk iron curtain and found this disclaimer being prepared for the

"funny guy …. I vill kill you laast!"
Spoken in my best ArnoldS "Commando" voice.
<All financial loses due to the sale of grandmother…>
You _sold_ your grandmother? God, how could you? I mean, don't you have a
pawnshop nearby or something? That's where I took mine. Got a good amount for
her too. Might even spring her in a couple of years.
Um…
they will feed her won't they? I mean, she'll be starting to get real hungry
soon. Aaah, who cares. She was old anyway.
Regards,
Laurie.
That coke they're providing – it will be Jolt, won't it? I mean, I'm losing a
good three to four hours of productivity a fortnight due to falling asleep at
the wheel.
