#Painting onto a 3D Obj
3 messages in this thread
Dear Painter Users!
This is a document describing one of the new capabilities of our upcoming
upgrade to Painter X2, which we lovingly have code-named Painter X3. I'll be
uploading other feature peeks as time goes on…
This isn't the only new feature! Just one of the many ground-breaking new ideas
we're known for. Also: no questions about ship dates, please. This may get a
bit technical for some, but it's worth looking at!

Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try to contain my excitement about X3. It
appears that you're trying to go Pixar's ShowPlace one better. The ergonomics
on X2 are so well thought out and certainly one of its great strengths. Will
you be able to get the same ease of human interface with X3? Also, and this is
a big one, will X3 be for both platforms? Although Pixar's offering Glimpse for
Windows, they don't seem to have any plans for offering ShowPlace for anything
other than Mac. It sounds like X3 could fill a waiting market. I'm assuming
that the texture mapping is similar to the RenderMan 'Looks' and is not
ray-tracing.
There! See what a good boy I was…I didn't ask about delivery dates (BUT I
WANT TO)…Rob
P.S. may I have your permission to share your message with the heavy-hitters
over on the Adobe PS forum? There are many DI pros over there and this would be
a welcome announcement.

Mark – allow me to say 'hello' first of all, then to bow, scrape, grovel and
generally acknowledge a true maestro of the software! I've recently bought
Painter 2.0, and sent in my registration, which you should receive in a few
days, but I have to say that it is ABSOLUTELY MIND-BOGGLING!!!! I dabble in
graphics on my DX2/66, mainly for fun, but also some serious stuff, and I use
Corel, Picture Publisher 4.0 (which is also superb), and Pixar Typestry. I
have a Kurta XGT 12×12, and run a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 17" monitor. The
output side of things is still a bit behind the 8-ball, but I get reasonable
output on my DJ500C. Does anyone have any experience with the new 1200C?
A couple of questions – what is this X2 that I have seen on your two forums,
and what is the Companion? Do I get notified of things such as these as a
registered user?
I look forward to getting heaps of hints etc from the forums, and let me say
again – congratulations on a magnificent piece of wonderware (the word
"software" seems so ordinary for such an extraordinary program.)
Regards from sunny Queensland down-under.
Pete, Brisbane, Australia.
