A while back I saw a message from someone who was running a BBS that centered around 3D graphics. The SysOps reply, to someone else, was that he had quite a few mesh files for 3DS. I'm know someone who is in need of a football helmet and/or football. For anyone else who may have one, there will be little or no fincacial compensation for the mesh because he is a student and this is a "We'll buy it if we like it" kind of thing. Thanks Scott.

>>A while back I saw a message from someone >>who was running a BBS that centered around 3D graphics. It might have been the Rendering Plant BBS (816-525-5614). We're the biggest, most aggressive 3D Studio oriented BBS that I'm aware of. We convert objects from all formats and acquire from every possible source to create a massive, ever-growing filebase. We get textures, fonts, drivers, image utilities, image and object convertors, IPAS routines, and anything that might be of any use to the 3D Studio Animator. Jim

Jim, Just wanted to thank you for your great BBS. I've been able to find several mesh items I needed in a hurry on your system and it's great to have it working so well. Alec Jason

Alec – <<I've been able to find…>> Thanks for your kind comments. I hope it gets bigger and better and is always a good deal for you – Jim

Jim- Loged onto board the other night and OH YEA. Look like you have a great board there. Didn't find the football helmet I was looking for but you got LOTS of other stuff that looks great! Browsing long-distance get kind of expensive though. Is there an ASCII file listing/discribing the files you have for D/L. I looked for one but no-could-find. If it's there and I just missed it, please, what's the filename and area it/they can be found in. BTW, being WILDCAT BBS oriented, I was having touble finding my way around. I'll learn it eventually. It's just that, live'n here in WILDCAT's home town (they started, and are still here, in Bakersfield) everyone runs their board. Scott.

Scott: Thanks for checking out the BBS. >>Is there an ASCII file listing/discribing the files >>you have for D/L. I looked for one but no-could-find. It's listed on the main menu in the lower left corner, and it's also in the new users file area and new uploads file area. It's called TRP.zip and right now, it's around 90K. >>BTW, being WILDCAT BBS oriented, I was >>having touble finding my way around. I'll >>learn it eventually. It's just that, live'n here >>in WILDCAT's home town (they started, >>and are still here, in Bakersfield) everyone >>runs their board. Well, I can understand that! Wildcat is a great BBS program. PC Board isn't too tough to find your way around on though, just read the main menu, and press "H" after any command and you'll get help. Also, with regard to long distance costs, check out a program called ROBOCOMM which automates file transfer, file list uppdating, and mail transfer in an automated way. It works exclusively with PC Board, which makes setup a snap for my BBS. It's on the Rendering Plant, but also probably on any local BBS also. Jim

Jim: >>It's called TRP.zip and right now, it's around 90K. Oh great!. Knew there had to be one. Did I read that right? Your yearly subcription rate is only $35! I can't make the check out fast enough! By any chance, can I get to your board though the InterNet? Scott.

Hey, we're a fairly new BBS, and we support Autodesk products, as well as a slew of other PC 3D programs.. We could use quality members like yourself! (BTW: it's WildCat! 4.0.. <g>) Please check it out and help us to continue growing! 313-453-7639.. Thanks!

Great, I'll see you there! I appreciate any 3D meshes (.3ds or .dxf's) you can provide us to help get things rolling! Thanks again!
