2554.0. "3d Fonts, Objects, Pictures?" by SHARE::DOYLE () Wed May 10 1989 08:23

 	I use Design 3-D from gold disk and was wondering if someone
    could point out any public domain fonts, objects, or pictures that
    might be online and Iff format.
    					Thanx Ed

    There is a complete uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric character set
    that was converted from UniGraphics format to Sculpt-3D object format
    by our own Steve Pileeki.  If the archive isn't on line around here
    I'll re-upload it.
    
    Ed, could you say a few words about Design-3D?  I've been considering
    buying either it or Modeler-3D from Aegis.  Both look pretty nice and
    Model just got a great writeup in AmigaPlus.
    
    I have some public domain objects in Sculpt-3D format.  If you have
    Interchange form Syndesis you can convert them back and forth from
    Sculpt to Videoscape format.

    	I'm not impressed with the way it handles it's animation, during
    a "tumble" script, it started to severely distort when the object
    I was animating got close up.
    	Also, It's "shade" and "colorizing" system are simplistic.
    	I also ran out of memory trying to "shade" a fairly simple object.
     A sphere to be exact. 
    	Be aware there is no real raytraycing, something that I thought
    it had, due to a review title picture in Amigo Times.
    	It also has Gurued on me twice, while trying to render color.
    	I should of spent the extra $50 and got Sculpt 4D jr.

    	By the way has anyone got Sculpt 4D jr. ?
    	How is it?
    	Whats the difference between "Sculpt-4D" and "Sculpt-4D jr."
    besides about $300 dollars?
                       				Thanx.

     Jr does not have ray tracing. There may be other differences too.
