Although it has been quite some time since my last period of active involvement on ASOFT (we have been doin' the 90 hour week thing here at Computer Services!), I am apealing to those people who I feel are the most competent to assist me with an interesting opportunity. I am in dire need of meshes that are clothing based. A client came to me with an interesting proposal for using 3D-Studio in a prototype fashion design opportunity. This company travels to trade shows, meeting with different clients for custom fashion designs. Basically, there are going to be sales personnel traveling with color notebooks, and they want to build a library of standard mesh and fabric options, so they can "mix and match" to the clients liking. This will allow the design to be instantly approved, submitted to the home office via a remote communications server on a Novell network, where the patterns will be produced using AutoCAD. It's an interesting opportunity for me, as well as someone else! There are two opportunities here… 1) The immediate opportunity would be to someone that could supply a couple mesh files (like a Man's shirt and jacket, a Women's skirt and blouse, etc.). Since the preliminary work on this proposal is being speculated by our firm, there is not a large financial opportunity. However, as a dealer I would be willing to possibly "make a deal" on a PAR or something as compensation for the time spent! (Can you say "sweeten the pot" <bg>) 2) The second opportunity will be for someone to produce mesh files for all their "standard" designs. This work would be contracted between that person and this firm, at whatever financial arrangement could be reached. I think that this is an interesting (at least for Kansas) application of 3D-Studio, and will appreciate any assistance given. Please, in respecting the "rules of decorum" for the form, please keep any responses of a financial matter in E-Mail. Thank you in advance, Chuck

Steve, Thanks for the feedback! I have had the opportunity to meet Helene at last years Siggraph party and for some odd reason had not connected on using them yet. Thanks for the head slap, Chuck
