Hi John! RE: LightWave Pro Newsletter What is it? How much is it? How do I get it? And when's the soonest it can be in my hot sweaty mits? Thanks! –>Doyle Calvert Synergistic MultiMedia P.S. Great work on seaQuest!

Thanks re seaQuest. LWPRO is an all LightWave Nesletter. Each issue deals with a different subject(s). The first issue was on bones and displacement maps, the issue that will ship 1st week in Dec is about Modeler. It has a heavy emphasis on 3.0 versions of LW and Modeler but many things will apply. Prices for a year's subscription (12 issues) is 48.00 if you are a subscriber to VTU and 72.00 if not. For 84.00 you can subscribe to both. You can call 408-366-8220 for more info or to subscribe.

Just had to jump in and add my congratulations on the most recent SQ episodes. I saw the Halloween episode and the sunken liner sequences were OUTSTANDING! The best I've seen yet. I also like the Bermuda triangle under water sequences. But you'd think that they could buy a surge protector for SQ! 😉

>my congratulations on the most recent SQ episodes. Thank you very much. :^) I would also like to send my congratulations and ask about the Halloween episode, how was the `layered stuff' on the sunken ship done, with clip mapping? <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>

I assume by layered stuff. you are referring to the stuff hanging on all of the lines and steps and stuff. That was all modeled flat polygons (using the sketch tool). Greg Teegarden was the one responsible for just about ALL of the shots in that episode. Instead of Knight of Shadows, we were calling it Greg of Shadows.

Unbelieveable! >Greg Teegarden was the one responsible Well Greg, congratulations on a job well done. You are listening, right? <<< Tony D. Tracer >>> (Any render time >0 needs acceleration.)

Sounds like a good day. I fiddled with a couple of the new Textures last night. NICE but the Essence Textures arre "BROKE"

>NICE but the Essence Textures arre "BROKE" Yep Essence Textures are "BROKE"! 🙁 I sent an internet message to Steve Worley asking if he planned an upgrade to support Imagine 3.0. No answer yet. …AutoPilot Engaged… -Paul-

Let me know if ye hear anything. Tho the new Texture's will surely keep me busy a while.

>Oops, guess I got my From: and To: mixed up! Sorry about that. 🙂 Does this mean you are going to retract your congratulations? :^( <<< Tony D. Tracer >>> (Any render time >0 needs acceleration.)

Of course not! 😉 …AutoPilot Engaged… -Paul-

Thanks John! I subscribed to VTU 3 weeks ago, so I'll qualify for the lower subscription rate <g>. Is there a way I can get that first issue? I'll call the number you gave and subscribe.

#68355From: John GrossNov 14, 1993 4:40 PM

I'm sure if you call Avid, you can arrange to get the first issue. JG

Hi John! I called AVID and ordered the newletter and the back issue. Thanks! –>Doyle Calvert Synergistic MultiMedia
