>>How many work on a typical project for you? Will Daedalus be in Visual Basic again? Were getting MediaShop for use in some games dev. ourself, have you looked at it?<< Oh , let's see… Give or take 6 modelers/animators, 2 mappers, 2 video capturers/editors/compositors, 4 programmers, 1 producer/gofer, 2 intern animators/modelers/mappers. We're using VB, some BASIC and C, and the Mac programmer is using Director. What is MediaShop? A programming tool? A scripter? I'm an animator, so I know 3DStudio and Photoshop stuff, but my programming knowledge is very limited. I've seen your name around here… I'm not sure if we've met… What's the name of the company you're developing stuff with? What titles do you have out there?

>What is MediaShop? A programming tool? A scripter? It's kindof like plug-in's for VB, or other .VBX compatable kits. It has all kinds of tools to make graphical stuff easier to program. It has path based cell animation tools, interactive .avi controls, some sound stuff, etc. You can get more detailed detail/stuff from Brett Tofel <Motion Works> @ 72420,3001. Some cool tools. I just sent out for it, since its price will go up from its $300 promo price tomorrow. >I've seen your name around here… I'm not sure if we've met…< Hello, I'm.. <g> I have two "jobs". One is working for a video production house (doing their graphics, animation, etc.) and I am also working with a friend on games dev. We're basically the typical "garage startup types". (Neither have garages though.<g>) We're not sure if it's permanent, but our business name is DaVinci Digital for the time being. It may change as things get more focused- reflecting our work and audience. I kinda like it though- since I'm an admirer of DaVinci's multiple facets. My friend's the programmer, and I'm the artist and businessman <cough>. To ramble on even more, I graduated last may with a BA in Broadcast Communications- with focus on video production and graphics. (after converting from EE/CS because I stink at math.)
