#3d meshes from GIF files
5 messages in this thread
Hello Pat!
I found the GIFDXF in lib 3. The documentation is good and it's
easy to use. I'd be glad to send a sample of what I did with it. Do you
want the initial grey scale GIF, the rendered GIF, or the 3d mesh? As I'm
new to compuserve, could you give me a two sentence tutorial on how to
upload a file?
By the way, I also wrote some software to convert any surface you
can define mathematically into a mesh to load into 3ds. You can animate
complex SIN functions, etc. Any interest in that?

Hi John,
I've been looking for something to import math functions into 3DS. Your
program sounds just like what I'm looking for. Did you write it
professionally? If not, would you mind uploading it? I'm sure a few other
people here would be able to use it also.
Thanks
Aaron
John, the program you wrote to convert functions to meshes sounds very
interesting. I've been thinking about doing something like it for awhile,
and am glad to see someone else come up with it! How about uploading it
here to the forum?

I bet you could write that in Excel, for example…
I'm sure you could… the new version of Excel is so powerful that you
could do some pretty amazing parametric modeling in it, and at least output
ascii files.
