Gary, I was just looking at a new book called 3DS Special Effects. In it, some of the tutorials call for 3DS 3.5 or later. Is there an incremental release somewhere in the libs, or does it cost a nominal fee. Thanks, Mike 🙂

Hi Mike, << In it, some of the tutorials call for 3DS 3.5 or later…>> I wonder if they mean 3DS 4.0. Which tutorial/pg number? jonas[adesk]

Jonas, <<I wonder if they mean 3DS 4.0. Which tutorial/pg number? >> Dont' remember. Definately said 3ds 3.5 of later though. I think it was the one with the ice cubes in a glass?? Mike

Mike, >> Dont' remember. Definately said 3ds 3.5 of later though << You'll need release 4. There was some confusion with version numbers while we were writing the book.

Martin, Shouldn't be a problem. I will hopefully give myself 3DSR4 as a belated Christmas gift. On a side note: I am looking to change jobs within this year so I can do 3DS related work on a full time basis. (Currently I am a CAD manager but want to get into the animation/multimedia end of the biz). If you know of anybody on the east coast that may be looking for a person with LOTS of knowledge with ACAD and an obsessive desire to be one of the best 3DS aniamtors around, let me know. Thanks, Mike

Michael, >> I will hopefully give myself 3DSR4 as a belated Christmas gift. << Good idea. I think the upgrade is worthwhile. >> anybody on the east coast … looking for a person with LOTS of knowledge with ACAD and … 3DS aniamtors around, let me know. << I don't know anyone who's looking, but the way this business is growing I don't think you'll have any trouble finding work. It's booming here on the West Coast.

Martin, << It's booming here on the West Coast.>> Yeh, I know. Now if I could only convince my wife to sell our new house and move there. Ahhhhh, to dream <g> Thanks, Mike

Mike, >> if I could only convince my wife to sell our new house and move << might not be necessary. The east coast is probably experiencing the same boom in 3d applications.

The east coast is probably experiencing the same boom in 3d applications. << If you know of *ANYBODY* who is looking for an experienced AutoCAD user and a person who is dying to get into 3DSTUDIO work on the east coast, please let me know. I am just wasting away at my current job. Mike

>> person who is dying to get into 3DSTUDIO work on the east coast Where are you on the East Coast? I know of strong Users' Groups up and down the coast. They would be a great place to start. I am helping Lee Steel start a Connecticut group. – Dave
