John, So how about those model samples promised @ Siggraph? Want to expedite some to me (strictly for in-office demo use)? Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Where would I place the files so they could be down loaded by anyone in this forum ? We would want to know who down loaded them, would it track that. Should everyone else request the objects from us ? We would also like to place our price list and sample catalog page somewhere. Any Ideas ? Look forward to three libraries for Comdex. (Air and Sea, Anatomy and Vehicle collections) Price at $299 for each library with 10-15 objects in each library. Any comments ? Let me know what you think – John Wright Viewpoint Inc. 801-224-2222

John, Just go ahead and upload files (ZIPped, preferably individually) to Library 9 (what's New), along with a description. Do the same for your price list, but you might want to upload that in text format, so that it can be read on-line, as well as downloaded. Compuserve will not charge you time for your upload. The Sysop, Jeffrey Pike, will merge them (make available to the members) in a day or two. The only thing you can track is # of downloads, not who downloads. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Kevin, Thanks a ton for the information. You can find several new entry's in the what's new section of Library's. MESHES: This is a list of hundreds of 3D meshes and prices. VP-5FREE.ZIP These are 5 objects we gave away at Siggraph. SKELETON.GIF This is the rendered skeleton. Over 40,000 polygons. It might have ended up in the 3DS library. Let me know if there are some other meshes you would like take a look at. Once again, thanks for helping us get going here …. See you at COMDEX ???

John, Well, if the files made it up alright, Jeffrey should merge them soon. One note, Compuserve limits files to 6 character names + 3 character extension. I won't be at Comdex (no rooms, for one – I waited until Sept. 9, should have reserved by Sept. 1. Besides, Comdex is no longer a dealer show, it's an end user show now.

Kevin, Comdex Vegas rooms are booked through the year 2008, at triple the usual rate, (as opposed to merely double rates for SIGGRAPH) ! Do what I do and make a one day commando raid, in early AM and out late night on Southwest airlines, then take the next day off from work to recover ! I'll be in on Tuesday only, spending most of my time at the Bally's multimedia exhibits, and sticking around late enough for the armadillo races. Bruce

Kevin, The Viewpoint Mesh list is called VPMESH in the "What's New" area. Thanks, John Wright

Can you send me a press release and maybe a couple of samples of your 3DS libraries? I am very interested in this. Mike Morrison Freelance Writer 124 Columbia Hts.
