I have lots of images in my map's library, in other libraries, on my CD-ROM disks and in lots of other places. which program is the best and fastest to view these images in the easiest way? I would like to see them in a cel-like view (a lot of little images on one screen) which program or sub-program does it the best ? With Thanks. Sus.

There are a few browser/database/catalog programs for images. The newest is available here on CIS as a working demo as an IPAS routine called EYEBROWSE, from the guys who wrote the Mirage IXP. There is also a viewer which comes with the Autodesk Texture Universe CD-ROM. Greg Pyros

Gregory, <<The newest is available here on CIS as a working demo as an IPAS routine called EYEBROWSE>> The EYEBROWSE util is great, but I'm working on a pentium 90, and through the 3D-STUDIO the EYEBROWSE is not so fast… I need somthing faster… but thanks anyway… Sus

The first time you enter Eyebrowse, it may seem slow because it needs to build your image thumbnails. But it only does this ONCE, and on any subsequent image browsing, the thumbnails will come up INSTANTANEOUSLY. This is a limitation of any image viewer. Check out the newest Eyebrowse in the IPAS usage file section. Its major benefits over windows based image viewers are that it, of course, operates from within 3D studio and supports ALL current and future 3D Studio image formats. And this one builds thumbnails twice as fast as the old version. And if speed is your major concern, it includes a slider to select between fast operation or increased disk space optimization at the expense of speed. Of course, the beauty of shareware is that you can try out many products and then decide on the one that suits you best. Aaron

If you don't need to veiw them inside 3d-studio get a small shareware program called thumbs! you can do all your image management tasks with it including jpeg batch compression and instead of writing a bunch small files all over your drive it puts them in one file and keeps track of all the images (thumbnails) on CD without the CD installed. I even have a image directory of my #1 computer on my #2 puter. It's probably in windows shareware.
