I don't have TELNET access to the BBS through the internet set up yet. I intend
to do it when the time is right, but some things still have to happen locally
first with respect to lines and service providers.
Re cost, dollar amounts are not allowed on CIS but I can say that the monthly
rate is about the price of a fast food meal. <G>

Yeah, they can be very useful – I uploaded a dialog screen shot of SuperVary 2
if you'd like to see what that looks like.
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks for the Repley Jim, I look forward to the loss of a Big Mac for per
month for access to your BBS, Please post an announcement for when you set up
the Telnet Access,
Is it possible you could set up a CD-Rom that people in the UK could buy of
some of the best stuff there?

I'll let you know when I have the Rendering Plant BBS hooked up to the Internet
for Telnet access. Thanks for your interest.

No plans at present. However, since we're now creating our own meshes, I'll be
doing one of those for our stuff eventually. The gray areas about rights,
originality, ownership, etc. on the PD meshes are not an issue with stuff we
created from scratch.
Thanks,
Jim

As some one who keeps making Star Trek stills, I understand the fine line bit,
many of the Shareware forums here have very good Doc's on copyright etc on
Shareware products, perhaps they could help?
What sort of Meshes do you make, are you doing a sort of Viewpoint thing, you
may have had a big campaign about this, but as I'm in the UK I'll never have
heard LOL, Will my Dealership in the UK have a list of your Products?
Matt 🙂

It's not just the Star Wars thing… the big problem with rights for an on-line
graphics-oriented system is that you have to hope that your uploaders and your
sources are not posting copyrighted material. This may be as small as someone
who got a mesh from a friend as a favor and then posted it for the heck of it.
One year later it's on Avalon, etc., and the original guy finds out and he's
mad because he never intended for the mesh to be PD. Similarly, I have to guard
against jokers who might modify and re-distribute Viewpoint or Acuris products,
etc. That's the main problem for me, for doing a CD with files I got from
non-confirmable sources.

My on-line service presently is just a source of good files via long distance
modeming. When the CD comes out, we'll definitely post the news. If you can
send an address for my files, I'll be sure to mail you directly on any product
news. The IPAS we are completing – "Schools, Flocks, and Herds" is a separate
product you may be interested in. Let me know if you'd like some mail or would
be interested in a UK-based dealership.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim:
Would periodically put up a "allfiles.txt" for your bbs. I got a copy from
somewhere, but it's a couple of months old. I'd be interested in seeing what
you have available.
Thanx, LAM

Hey, Larry –
I'll post you a copy of our file list over the net. Thanks for your interest.
Jim
PS: I'm looking into compiling your SELECT script as an IPAS, thought I'd see
what you thought of that.
RE: dir list. Sounds good to me! Other people might also be interested in
seeing a copy out in the libs, though. (can you say free advertising? I
thought you could <g>).
RE: Select. I hereby release select into the public domain. Feel free to
fold, spindle, and/or mutilate. No rights reserved, unless you make a million
off it, it which case we should talk <g>.
I assume you mean including the select routine as part of a larger ipas
routine. Right?

I don't know if Compuserve would welcome it, with TRP being a commercial
on-line service. I could ask Anne Brown, though…

Well, you're right, I dug into it and it's a utility for better scripts. I was
referring to the script Kyle McKisic used to select faces based on normal
direction. He called it "SELECT.ZIP" and said it was on CIS in his article for
Planet Studio. I'm going to see if I can find the PXP script that Kyle was
referring to.
Thanks,
Jim
RE: Kyle's select routine. Great minds think alike <g>. I specifically had to
add some code to my select to make sure the correct select.3de file was being
loaded. Got a couple of questions on problems which ended up being another
select.3de file was present. Now I know whom to blame. Oh well…
