#InterNet 3DS Sites
12 messages in this thread
I just got on the internet and I'm looking for some good ftp sites
for 3DStudio, Models, scripts, ipas's, and the such…. everytime I
talk to someone in person they say "Oh YEAH there a bunch of that
stuff," but they can never remember the address… So if anybody
know any good sites please leave me mail

The classic site is "avalon.vislab.navy.mil", which has recently
changed its name from "chinalake" to "vislab", if you see any
references to that.
O.K. Thanks I will try that….
Any others anybody else can think of?
Thanks
John
FYI, there is a new newsgroup called alt.3d.studio on the 'Net. Not a
lot of traffic in there yet, but I thought I would pass along the
info.
There is a news group "alt.3d" where 3DS is often mentioned, albeit
in a "cracked" reference. There is also supposed to be an "alt.3ds"
newsgroup but I haven't seen it yet.
I've found that the CompuServe FTP service works quite nicely for
getting into vislab. Of course, it's more expensive than most other
methods.

Than almost _all_ other methods… :^)

Actually, the Syndesis Avalon CD is a pretty good deal, too… I'm sure it's
cheaper than Compuserve's 'ftp'. 🙂
John:
You're right, the Syndesis Avalon CD is a great buy, and much easier than
downloading 300 or 400 megs of meshes! I use mine pretty often. Are you
planning on updating the CD every year or so for all the new stuff? :^)
Greg Pyros
Absolutely! I've tried to think of ways to enhance it, like providing some
kind of thumbnails or catalogs, perhaps using HTML as the cross-platform
hypertext solution. After, you can Mosaic a CD just as well as an Internet
site.

That's a great idea! Looking forward to seeing it!

What do you charge for the Avalon CD?
