#Rel 4 Spline plugin ques
12 messages in this thread
What ever became of the new 3DS4 Spline patch modeler plugin that was never
shipped that was supposedly being shipped to rl4 users? If you have it, does
it work? Can it import splines? what formats? TIA

What will be the procedure for acquireing the modeler? pardon the naive
question but I can't even get the people I got 3ds from to return a phone
call! The last time we talked they didn't understand the relationship between
me, him, the r4 patch and Autodesk so therefore neither do I! They also resell
Wavefront and various SGI products, so you'd kinda expect
more cooperation from people who've probably been at gun point more than once
over pricey software issues for the SGI owners!! thanks, Gary (Blazing

The patch modeler will be sent out for free, to all registered users of 3ds4
I can't wait for it!

Jason <<I can't wait for it!>> That's a good one! I want it, I want it! In
combination with bones, the patch modeler will be cook'n! I hate waiting more
than anything… grrrrrr. Jeffrey
Gary,
As Jason said, the patch modeler will be sent out free to *registered*
users. It will probably also be made available here and on Autodesk FTP site.
Funny, we sell SGI & Wavefront (now Alias/Wavefront) – sure hope you weren't
talking about us.

Kevin, I got wind of a new Plug-in coming down from SGI software programers, a
very powerful 3-D Paint program. Do you know anything about this? Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Sorry, I don't have any info regarding this, although I know the SGI
IPAS development kit is out.

Are you talking about Mesh-paint from Positron or something newer?

Peter, I had read a small article about SGI developers now working on some IPAS
plug-ins for 3-DS. There was mention of a very high-end 3-D Paint routine with
lots of very powerful features. Then, of course, the article disapeared. I'm
curious to find out more about that routine and see what kind of routines come
from those SGI developers. Two programs that I use that come from SGI
developers are Elastic Reality and Pennello. I found them very dependable,
accurate modification parameters and very elegant well organized interface.
Jeffrey
I know Minerva (ex SoftImage developers) have been working on 3DS Stuff, the
only 3D Paint I have seen in MESHPAINT, but I wouldn't be surprised to see
another enter the fray…
