FYI – Viewpoint has released a CD for 3DS of their entire collection of meshes. Its got a graphical interface so you can see a wire frame rendition of each mesh. To order you click on the mesh you want, call up Viewpoint, they take your charge card, and give you a code which you enter and the mesh is downloaded from the CD into your mesh directory. Pretty cool. -JE

Do you have the CD? They were showing it off at Siggraph, and took names for everyone that was using 3DS. They said they would ship in a week or two, but we still haven't gotten one. Maybe I should call them up.

The CD's are shipping now … I picked one up at AdeskU. It's quite nice, really. A GUI to point at catagorized mesh sets with a single wireframe view of individual models. Call them at 1.800.DATASET (328.2738). I'm sure they'll send one right away.

Thanks for the info, I'm extremely bummed …. we're probably one of the few 3DS based companies who actually buys thousands of dollars worth of their stuff every year and they lossed us in the shuffle I suppose. I'll call them Monday. Thanks Again, Paul

No problem. They actually called me, looking for people to send CD's to … If you want, e-mail your address and I'll put you on my list so you can avoid calling them. Looking forward to seeing your font catalog … you should have my card by now. Nice fonts on the CD, as well …

Could I get you to put me on their CD mailing list as well. I live and work in Toronto and I haven't received anything yet. Danny Mercurio Details, Inc. 4 Pell Street, Unit 3 Scarborough, Ontario, Canada M1N 1N1 (416) 265-4484 I'd appreciate it. Thanks,

You're on. The list will go off to Viewpoint this week, after I call my "groupies" here in S. Wisconsin. Great mag, BTW. Got my first one at AdeskU. Look for my subscription card.

> Great mag, BTW. Got my first one at AdeskU. Look for my subscription card. Thanks! I understand over 1200 copies of the magazine were distributed at Autodesk University. I hope to get a lot of "constructive" criticism from all you guys in the future. 🙂 Talk to you later,

Paul, >> we're probably one of the few 3DS based companies who actually buys thousands of dollars worth of their stuff every year and they lossed us in the shuffle I suppose << Gee, Paul….maybe you scared em' off with all that anti-dealer & anti-promotional talk. I know I've got this great urge to ask you why I still haven't gotten a response from the Anim8 postcard I filled out and sent in but that would require a crassly commercial response on your part. < G R & D > Murph'

Without any sales talk, all of the brochures regarding fonts go out in lots of 500, if you haven't gotten yours yet, be patient, Adesk has only been shipping R3 for a couple of weeks, and snail mail takes a while. Additionally you'll become extremely aware shortly why it takes us a while to do the turnaround. Hopefully Viewpoint hasn't decided to take me off their mailing list. It would cost them a little bit of money. We're a fairly big buyer. On the other hand, we've had a Cyberware digitizer for about 45 days now so, we can always make our own. 🙂

You're in too … Like I said to Danny, I'll shoot the list off this week.

Todd, I hope you haven't sent in that list. 🙂 If it's not too much trouble, could you put me in there somewhere? Rachid Molinary P O Box 361986 San Juan, PR 00936-1986 Thanks for your help! Rachid

Hi Paul – Yes, I got it Thursday. Pretty neat, so I assume they're out for release. -JE

We got ours last week.
#64399From: Paul LindOct 30, 1993 10:08 PM
Alright Greg, rub it in…… 🙁 Maybe I just haven't gotten one because they're prejudice against us Virginians. P.S. – Did you give them your info at Siggraph also?

Paul: >> Did you give them your info at Siggraph also? A definite maybe. <g> That was months ago! How do you expect me to remember that far back? <g>
