CompuServe Thread

Hi Jerry! >>>>>3D worlds are tougher, as people could pick objects/behavior out of the database and use them elsewhere. Hmmm, virtual collage?<<<< Ah, yes, well this has been a standard issue with 3D modelers for years it seems. I suppose it is no different for virtual worlds as it is for animation models. The models available from companies like Viewpoint also come with keyframe data for predefined actions and serious surfaces already applied, I am told. We have talked a long time of offering a library for virtual world builders to go out with our stuff. I have textured trees of only 9 polygons each and such things that come in pretty handy in making virutal worlds. Not the kind of thing that would interest animators much, but for interactive worlds, they come in pretty handy. Anyway, time marches on……. I am trying to get some Gif together of ourselves for sending to others. Any chance of getting a picture of you, Maryann and Eddy? I would like to show other little kids pictures to Jarrod and let him see someone that I talk to. He is always asking what I am doing, and I tell him I am talking to my friends. He doesn't understand. My other boy, Brandon, (9 yrs old now) on the other hand has friends from everywhere that he chats with. I had to get him his own account on Internet because he was driving me crazy using mine. I told him that he has to earn his own CompuServe account. Most of his friend are not on Cserve anyway so he can wait, although John's VisCis had him so excited that he could "talk" to others in a virtual world, which he is pretty experienced at interacting within. He is still the best flyer I know using a Spaceball except for the guys from Spacetec themselves. He doesn't even use the 'training wheels' single axis filter, but really 6D simultaneously. Pretty smooth. I get him to lay down all my paths when I need good 6D flying. There I am, on about my kids again…..anyway, see you later……… Angela
