As an exhibitor at Siggraph, we get a certain number of no-charge exhibits-only passes. These require you to register on-site, perhaps requiring a wait in a long line, but they save $25-50. If you'd like one, one-per-person preferably, just send me your postal address in private Easyplex e-mail and I'll drop one in the mail. First come, first served! And if you're attending the show, please be sure to visit our booth, number 2537!

John, do you have a demo version of interchange? I'd like to try it to see if we can convert .3ds files to whatever the heck Wavefront takes (.obj) etc. hopefully with materials and UV's in tact. Martin

No, I'm sorry, we don't have a demo version of InterChange. (Exactly how could we limit the demo? We've puzzled over that question for years.) If you like, send me a 3DS file in private e-mail and I'll send the Wavefront file. We do transfer basic material info (most everything in the 3DS Material Editor, except the texture map info below) but we don't transfer UV coordinates in the current version. (Fortunately, that should be present in the next version.)

John, >> but we don't transfer UV coordinates in the current version. << ouch! Unfortunately, that's exactly the info they'd be most interested in having. Oh well. Maybe we'll discuss this more at Siggraph.
