<this last animation by Ed K. called somthing like 1250???.zip(i am not sure of the name, it is somthing like that) and the hearby.zip are so fantastic that i am totally blown away.> Hi Ara. I am not sure which animation you meant, but there is a screensaver that uses some of my animations. It is called SFSS.ZIP. I understand from the author that you can use it to play any animations if you replace the ones he supplies with others with the same names (SS00, SS01, etc.). He did tell me that you could get into problems if the animations are too big. If you get a chance, I'd like to know which animation you liked so much. There is one 5OR54.ZIP, deals with smoke and steam. Maybe that's the one. Ed K

Hi ED. 1GA27.zip is the name of the animation. Its the partical system that colides with a mass and resulting gravity effect. It is so fantastic. I watch it every chance i get!! Is there a more complete (longer) ver. of that? I would love to see it!! Also effects like that in 24bit (wow) would look so amazing!! Any way i enjoy your work alot! thanks for the uploads! I will check the files you refered to. thanks ara

<1GA27.zip … is so fantastic. I watch it every chance i get!! Is there a more complete (longer) ver. of that? I would love to see it!!> Gee, Ara, you must have missed the discussion a couple of days ago about my particle system, and just what you want, <a more complete (longer) ver.>. It's over 5 meg unzipped, but only <g> 2.3 meg to download. It is called "The Mother of all Animations" (1GA29.ZIP). I still watch that one several times a day. I still can't comprehend how just plugging in the equations for gravity can result in 1GA27 or 1GA29! .ZJust wait until you see other incredible effects resulting from the law of gravity in flics that I am going to be uploading. All those animations will go in the "Animator" library (library 2), unless there are space problems. By the way GA stands for galaxy. I am up to about 1GA70 (after 99 I go to 2GA00). I used to do about one series (100 flics) per day, but this particle system stuff takes longer. Ed K (can't wait to hear your reaction to 1GA29!)

<1AG29A?!!…….I am going to down load it now 🙂 This is cool stuff!!! Are these done through Poco?? If yes, do you sell these Poco programs? Are the effects user definable? Please let me know.> Yes, yes and yes! $15.00 to: Ed Kellerman 1047 Schuyler Dr. Endicott, NY 13760 gets you the beta version and the finished code when I complete it. Notify me by E-mail also, and I'll E-mail the file to you right away. Oh, I forgot, you must agree not to hesitate to ask for help <g>. I forgot to stipulate that before, and I haven't heard a peep from the people who already got it. If you want to see how the data is specified take a look at RING01.ZIP. Ed K
