#Cash For Meshes!
3 messages in this thread
Hello all:
If you have some of these meshes laying around in your past projects dust bin,
I'd like to purchase usage rights to your files. They will not be resold – they
will only be used to generate rendered images.
I am looking to purchase 3DS release 2 compatible meshes, with the accompanying
materials library of the following scenes:
* A shopping mall, shopping center or strip plaza exterior mesh * A retail
store front mesh (any type other than a supermarket) * A retail store interior
mesh (i.e. shelves, checkout counter) * An executive office interior mesh
(plush carpet, desk, chair)
Again, all of the meshes need to have the materials libraries intact so that I
can render finshed GIFs myself in 3DSr2 with different camera angles. The
finshed renders will be used on a World Wide Web home page.
I have a budget of between $300 and $500 to purchase the above items on this
project, or between $75 to $125 per mesh. The most pressing item is the
executive office interior mesh and library.
I am also looking for finished renders of the above scenes. I have a budget of
$35 to $50 per rendered image.
I am looking for good photorealistic scenes, similar to the quality of images
that Professional Construction Associates (PCA) generated on the 3DSr2 CD-ROM
of bedrooms and kichens.
I have an immediate need for these meshes and/or images. If your images or
meshes are of this quality and you have an immediate need for immediate cash, I
will overnight a certified bank check.
If anyone has knowledge of someone who would have these items I would be
indebted if you could drop a line to me as to where to contact these
individuals or firms. I have looked over several ViewPoint meshes that were
very nice, but they did not have the accompanying materials libraries to
perfrom the renders.
Please contact me via CompuServe mail [73060,134] or preferably through
Internet email as loveria@bix.com as I check the bix account every few hours or
so. If you wish you can contact me voice at (607)724-1208 until 10pm EST any
day of the week.
Thanks in advance! – Greg Loveria, writer/reviewer

finally make the big time.
this big cash offer of yours will sure to make our industry grow.

Gee… all I need to do is render 50 photo realistic scenes and I will have
paid off my copy of 3DS
I think you better pick up some pd 2d clipart Dude.

As a longtime animator and CAD specialist, I realize that the monetary amounts
I offered as payment in my post for meshes is below scale. I've worked hard on
many imaging, animation, CAD and review assignments and was fairly compensated
for my efforts.
If you noticed, I prefaced my post with a statement similar to:
"If you have meshes or images from past projects laying around in your dust
bin…"
Often I've resold images that I generated in Topas two or three times, ones
that I thought would only have a value for the original project. A $50 to $100
arrow out of the blue for work I did 10 years ago is found money.
I was not asking that someone create a specific mesh or image for hire for my
needs… Work to specification deserves scale and if I need to hire on an
animator or graphic artist to complete a project, I pay them as to what I would
feel that I would charge for doing the project myself. In this particular
instance, I don't have the time to generate the meshes or images that I need
myself and thusly posted the message to see if anyone in the 3DS community had
something laying around "in the dust bin."
As far as your observation of my contribution "making the industry grow" I feel
I have done a small bit in promoting Autodesk's fine products to the industry
and public at large.
I authored and reviewed the first articles on 3D Studio for Byte Magazine in
1991. I was a true Topas advocate and devotee for years prior to Autodesk
releasing 3DSr1, so I looked at 3DSr1 with a "real hairy eyeball". It was one
of the few products that I've ever given a five star rating in any of my
reviews. In other reviews, I examined AutoShade with the RenderMan extensions
and realtime AutoCAD animation adapters from Matrox and SGI. Autodesk included
some of my reviews in their handout kits for 3D Studio at Comdex, NCGA Chicago
and mailout literature requests.
Hopefully, my efforts have helped in some small way give 3D Studio a base
following. It's a great product and I continue to tout it as the animation
software all others should try to measure up to. – Greg Loveria
