Clay: hehehe

Trimax: not yelling

MetaJohn: If you are in the mesh editor, control D will export your mesh

rvanderlippe: lol - ok - I hear ya (swabbing out my ear)

Clay: :-)

MetaJohn: This is a very undocumented "secret" option

Ringo has just entered.

Trimax: ok maybe im not making my self clear

Ringo: I was typing in the wrong room?

Trimax: let say i make a sphere with a tube sticking out...

MetaJohn: That can not be exported

Trimax: i want to export the thing

MetaJohn: Sorry

Clay: why not?

Trimax: yea y not

MetaJohn: Boolians just don't export as yet

Trimax: no boolean

Clay: is it like infini-d, it doesn't export booleans?

Trimax: a sphere with a tube sticking out aint boolean

MetaJohn: Very complicated math, and each program deals with booleans differently

Trimax: loves math a trig major please explain

Clay: ahhh, but it's a sphere with a simple tube stickin out?

MetaJohn: Also right now grouped or combined objects are also not supported

Trimax: yesa 360 x180

The BryceMaster: I just exported one of my Viewpoint DXF's back to DXF

Caridad materializes from thin air.

Clay: Something I noticed too, why can't you export rocks?

The BryceMaster: it's kinda slow, but not bad

uhh, I can export rocks

apparently the Mesh editor is now da bomb :)

Clay: I couldn't get mine to do it, hummm I'll try again heheh

rvanderlippe: John - I'd suggest that registerring that if someone is interested in the Mac plugin on your website should generate even an automated response. Written several times and never got a response even.

Aeolius: "no one is to throw any stones, until I blow THIS whistle..."

gbuc disappears in a blinding flash of smoke.

MetaJohn: Thanx Van, will pas that along

rvanderlippe: Thanks

Clay: I'm on a Mac too, Where's my Meteatream module?

AuntiAlias: I"mjust looking forward to continuing to update my own website period! : )

rvanderlippe: Well - that too ;)

Clay: cool!

Hi Auntie:-)

AuntiAlias: did some this weekend... mostly text, but got some facts straight. Still gotta do the FAQ, tho!

www.auntialias.com

Aeolius: LOL AA...ditto...I just got Adobe GolIve, ImageStyler, and ImageReady...time to play ;)

AuntiAlias: The cobbler's children have no shoes. I've been working on Da Official Meta Bryce site

The BryceMaster: ImageReady is great, I hate GoLive

Clay: Image styler rocks!

Cricket: I got Fireworks2 and DreamWeaver2...I'm ready to rumble!!!

The BryceMaster: DreamWeaver every time

Clay: so does image ready!

A must for all!

rvanderlippe: I find GoLive has been useful for generating quick ideas - but I always drop back to plain text afterword - and edit a lot out

Michel has just left.

Aeolius: GoLive (aka CyberStudio) beats the crap out of PageMill, though ;) And I refuse to touch raw HTML code if I can help it.

Pegasus: Aunti are you doing a new book for Bryce 4?

rvanderlippe: I love raw HTML ;)

The BryceMaster: PageMill did suck the high hard one

AuntiAlias: BBEdit is great. I've been doing some nice grep stuff

MetaJohn: Susan I have to leave, I will record all the rooms I am in in HTML if that is OK with you, rather than as text

Clay: I use Image styler and just place html into claris homepage, seems easier I dunno...

rvanderlippe: Yea - that has become a useful tool

AuntiAlias: in fact, I've set up a bunch of set macros in Grep to turn these logs into web pages PDQ!

go for it, John... and expect each save to take a while!

I've been doing it as I go

Clay: cool!

Cricket: How do you save as HTML? which dern key do you press?

DanWhiteside is off to save the world.

3dman materializes from thin air.

AuntiAlias: so I've got several different ones

Pyewacket is off to save the world.

AuntiAlias: oh, that's a trick!

MetaJohn: You saving as text?

AuntiAlias: option-click the disk

Clay: cool!

Aeolius: I use a combo of PageMill (getting past that stage), GoLIve, and FrontPage, for my site.

AuntiAlias: yes, cause of the way that I process the logs in BBEdit

let's see. .. there was a question about a book a few lines up

Clay: you rock, auntie!

Cricket: THanks

Trimax: still usee hot dog pro

renato!: she swings too

oops

rvanderlippe: lol

The BryceMaster: I processed a few logs awhile ago... then I added some volumetric light and had a nice fire going :)

AuntiAlias: : )

must....lindy.....hop.....

Cricket: Ooops no Option key...guess I'll use CTRL?

Clay: hehehehe, fire heheheh

Trimax: but mostly hand type all my codes

AuntiAlias: Real World Bryce 4... look for it this summer!

co-authored with Victor Gavenda

Clay: Can I be in it?

heheheh

Aeolius: Cool

renato!: lol

AuntiAlias: www.auntialias.com/home.shtml and www.auntialias.com/rwb2.shtml ahve the scoop

Aeolius: Susan, and that's a problem?

AuntiAlias: and in the room entitled Q&A, there is a moderated session of questions

Cricket: How big is the buffer...anyone know? Or is it limitless?

mmurphy: Gee, Clay thanks. I have yet to see the box. I can't wait

AuntiAlias: so.. if you have a question for the engineers, go in, be quiet and type ?

Galaxian wants to play too.

Suddenly Frosty appears.

Frosty: hello

AuntiAlias: don't know exactly, Cricket, but I've been in here a while and when I save the log, it takes a leeeetle while!

Clay: Me too, I just got a white ups box with the upgrade:-) but the manual looks the same as the box:-)

AuntiAlias: mmurphy!

Clay: cya!

Cricket: I didn't guess you :<

AuntiAlias: if you are in both rooms, no

AuntiAlias: the brain-doesn't-work-anymore giddy

Cricket: Clay...your gallery got a bookmark from me!! Like why should you care...LOL

AuntiAlias: hey

Suddenly tiger appears.

AuntiAlias: got some questions.. informal survey time:

Galaxian: clay, which image are you discussing?

AuntiAlias: what do you think about setting up some SIGs here?

mmurphy: Go for it...

Clay: Thanks Cricket:-) *blush*

AuntiAlias: kidna like we did Q&A

Aeolius: "my brain hurts"

AuntiAlias: in a separate room

there are points of interest

i.e.,

"I wanna know more about the DTE!"

or

"Exporting and Importing 101"

renato!: so these would be more or less permanent rooms?

AuntiAlias: kidna like the Siggraph BOF (birds of a feather) gatherings

Cricket: You mean regular conferences? or permanent rooms?

Ringo: Excellent site.

AuntiAlias: not permanent

but...

like, say your local computer group has the

Photo SIG meet on the 2nd Tuesday

mmurphy: (Martin scratches head and says to himself, "what are SIGs?")

Clay: I agree seperate the talk forums, so that people can go where they need to get info

Cricket: Oh, I see.

Trimax: btw cricket i posted a new banker lamp since i didnt like the one i found on 3d cafe

AuntiAlias: we could have, say, "DTE brain-fade"

Galaxian: SIGs are Special Interest Groups

AuntiAlias: happen sometime on a regular basis

rvanderlippe: Special Interest Groups Mike

Trimax: with mat added in

Aeolius: Speaking of...what will become of AOL's Thursday Bryce chats...now that there is BryceTalk? ;)

Cricket: Okay...Tri..I'll check it out!

Trimax: for the shade

AuntiAlias: Aeolius, I asked you that before!

Clay: to muck clangin aaaaaa! heheheh

mmurphy: Ahhh, thanks Galaxian

Pegasus slinks out.

AuntiAlias: I said, hey, BryceTalk is comin'

Clay: heheheh

Cricket: Yes, Susan...it sounds like a good idea. If we know an expert or semi-expert will be there at a certain day/time. That would be great!

Ringo: Has anyone else visited the Wonderverse?

Galaxian: Martin, I called you Mike earlier by mistake. So did someone else just now. Sorry. It was YOUR art, Martin, that I said I liked so much!

Cricket: But they shouldn't be toooo specific.

Aeolius: Susan, I still want an interactive whiteboard, where everyone in the room can be working on the same Bryce scene ;)

I'm a zot: see you all later!

I'm a zot slinks out.

Trimax: also change the galss texture to clear glass

FireHeart disappears in a blinding flash of smoke.

Trimax: http://www.angelfire.com/oh/chainsandlinks/images/TheGameOfLife.jpg

Clay: By the way Martin I like the details on the autumn image,Great Idea:-)

Suddenly FireHeart appears.

AuntiAlias: heheheheh.. you should see our wishlist, Aeolius! : )

rvanderlippe: Ah - I stand corrected - thanks Peter - thanks

AuntiAlias: the more wishes the merrier!

bwagner has left the building.

Aeolius: Susan, agreed ;) How about a complete Poser/Bryce integration, then?

Clay: sure why not?

seperate to alleviate:-)

Cricket: Tri? Nice! Did you change the image since I last saw it? THe glass is much much better

AuntiAlias: well... <shrugging> it's only SMOP... Small Matter Of Programming

but

Ringo: I would like a Bryce link and user interface with RDS.

AuntiAlias: I don't program, so I dont' know a thing

; )

Clay: Daaaammmmmn that programming! hehehh

Trimax: yea u can also see part of the lamp i made complaied to the one i had

Aeolius: Susan, I was a programmer, once....AppleSoft BASIC ;)

AuntiAlias: do you think that this kinda of Talk module would be worthwhile in other applications?

Trimax: pervious lamp

AuntiAlias: the BryceRetreat/BryceCamp thing has had a west coast bias since it was thunk up by a Californian

Clay: bye cricket

AuntiAlias: <----my original idea

I did it last year.

Cricket: Trying to get rid of me? LOL

AuntiAlias: putting together a lab for a week's time was a big much

Clay: nooo

AuntiAlias: Chris took it on for this year, at a place where there's an already existing computer lab! :)

but

Clay: I'm sure:-I

is it all PCs?

AuntiAlias: I think that it'd be ripe to have something elsewhere... but it's gotta be put together by someone.

and better to be put together by someone local!

ahole is off to see the Wizard.

AuntiAlias: lab is Macs and PCs

20 iMacs, 10 PCs

Clay: COOL!

AuntiAlias: networked together

connected to t1

so

we can have a BryceCamp chat!!

Clay: imacs are a little weird though heheheh

AuntiAlias: live

Clay: cool!

AuntiAlias: but you can fit a lot of them into a room without the place looking crowded!

rvanderlippe: didn't know about that last bit - very cool indeed

Clay: that's true!

Aeolius has finally arrived.

renato!: oh wow that will be cool

live from BryceCamp!

Galaxian: Bye for now, folks... This is my first real-time chat in about 15 years. I've enjoyed it, and now that Bryce 4 has made it so easy, I think I'll be doing this more often now. But for now... have fun!!!

Clay: I just set up a Primary school's network of imacs, easy breezzy!

Aeolius: bak...for some reason, Mac OS 8.5.1 seems to hate Netscape 4.5.1

Cricket: Niters Peter!

Clay: cya!

Galaxian is off to save the world.

Michel has joined the party!
