If anyone out there using cyberspace has time for a couple questions please email me! Currently, I am an 3DS animator/production manager for Nabisco's Computer Based Training department. We are looking at using VR in the future for CBT. We consider it an natural evolution of media delivery. The problem we are faced with is the choice of platform. I have seen superscape on a pentium 90 perform to the level we will require initially. As of yet, I have never seen Cyberspace. The Questions! In the areas of features and performance, how does Cyberspace compare to Superscape? How complicated is the developement in Cyberspace? Etc. …. ?

CBT? Computer-based Triscuits?

>> Computer-based Triscuits << Funny, So Funny!! Hey, in six months we will have VR triscuits. They're low fat, but not very filling! Actually, You would be amazed at the amount of Computer Based Training we produce in house and the client base we service out of house. I'm currently researching PC VR delivery platforms as a natural evolution of training media. Any suggestions you would be appreciated! Scott

Hi Scott I was browsing around ASOFT forum, reading the message traffic. I've got a "high-tech" (ha!ha!) ad agency in Monterey, CA. Anyway, we use 3DS and have an inhouse video department, including sound stage, Matrox video editing, etc. We run 3DS on Pentiums and render to a Targa card, single-frame record via Animation Commander/RS422 card to a JVC822 VTR. We're pretty up on Intel machines. I've build every one of them here. They're all SCSI-based, Adaptec, etc,etc. I'd like to play with the VR stuff some. What's the story on the best rig these days? whose software? Autodesk or the Sense8 products (former Autodesk'ers). What kind of video cards should I use. Anything interesting our there that's shareware or downloadable. If you get a minute sometime, drop me an email, or call or fax. Thanks. Good luck in your projects.

Tom, I apologize for the delay in this reply! I haven't had a chance to get on CIS in two weeks! I'll call you this week and discuss platform we chose and why. Maybe it will help you! Scott Nabisco

Hi Scott. Picked up your note about "Call you and discuss why we picked Cyberspace". Please do (408) 655-2772. Hey, we have an inhouse video dept at my office, and I'm thinking of starting a Virtual Reality-Video Magazine, making 3 or 4 tapes a year and selling subscriptions. I'm in Monterey, CA and silicon valley where lots of VR is is only 80 miles up the road. Anyway, I'll look forward to chatting with you.
