Jim, I caught a thread 'tween you and others recently and it prompted me to punch in. Might be a little late, but I thought I'd let you know that I enjoyed your article in 3D Artist and the graphics featuring the Liquid Speed logo that accompanied it. Could you send me details on The Render Plant and the services you offer w / prices by private E-Mail. I may have some business to refer. Regarding the thread: JL > According to Digimation president David Avgikos, it's because no one at JL > the Yost group is showing developers examples of how this is done. >.. field data can be found in the FieldInfo struct documented on pg. 38 of > the IPAS3 SDK. Also, the stars example that shipped with the IPAS3 SDK uses > this struct. > jonas[adesk] > As Jonas said, the field rendering structure is well-documented in the SDK. > … it's amazing to me how little credit many of the folks here on the forum > give my group for being attentive to the needs of the future. > … The folks who think that we're sitting on our laurels and not > innovating for the future are "as wrong as wrong can be". > – G JL > I don't have the SDK, but I'm going to call David and discuss JL > this with him.

I guess the middle of the swamps is just as good a place as any to be searching for the truth. Good luck. You may need it. Watch out for the gators. <CHOMP CHOMP> Kevin Gibson Animation Nation <tm>

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. >>>Could you send me details on The Render Plant and the services you offer w / prices by private E-Mail. I may have some business to refer.<<<< Done. But anytime, you can call and get our filelist and infolist, the number is 816-525-5614. It's a 28.8 kBps BBS. We've had difficulties with line noise hindering our subscribers in the past. I've paid to have us upgraded to data grade phone lines by November 5. That should help a lot. >>>>Regarding the thread: I guess the middle of the swamps is just as good a place as any to be searching for the truth. Good luck. You may need it. Watch out for the gators. <CHOMP CHOMP><<<< I know, I know. I wouldn't care so much, except that I'm looking at entering the IPAS developer's fray myself, and if Digimation's comments are accurate (that noone will give them the info they need to properly develop IPAS code) then I can know what I'm getting into before I take the plunge. (into another swamp) <G>. Thanks, Jim
