JeffP: HIML? andyl has left the building. thinkpiece has finally arrived. JeffP: OH! AuntiAlias: Mcharb? Mcharb: For example, in the Soap2 application, the albums never seem to export correctly to H Kikuchiyo is off to render mirrored spheres. Mcharb: TML for web use thinkpiece is off to render mirrored spheres. Mcharb: It is difficult to trace and find out the problem with WHY it dosn't work correctly. Gary L: HTML support will definitely improve as we go forward Mcharb: Will that be easier to upgrade? tharkun: ? Gary L: should be AuntiAlias: jcastick... your turn jcastick: thanks AuntiAlias: ingo, dawn, jeffric, dimension, ghazelwood, MonkeyT, dickie, Cricket, kree, dickie, 3D elf, jcastick, Rob_C, tuckersaur, Edo!, tharkun jcastick: 1. Will there be a four quadrant view(front, top, side, perspective...on one screen? Gary L: For Bryce, no. AuntiAlias: (those of you in the queue.... if you haven't already... type your question already and then when I call on you, hit return) Sideways: [Whew!] jcastick: 2. Do you have a beta testing program for users? Minkie: (relieved sigh) Gary L: ABSOLUTLEY AuntiAlias: Ringo, you're on! Ringo: Regarding Bryce and Poser are we going to soon see Poser figures walk in Bryceland? Will Behaviors like, Bounce , Physical effects, etc ever be added to Bryce? How about using AVIs/Quicktime files as "movie objects"?! Should place adds in a few DVD films. KPT Chuck has just left. jcastick: how can one sign up for the program, to review programs before they come out? tanuki disappears in a blinding flash of smoke. Gary L: jcastick, contact beta@metacreations.com AuntiAlias: (Ringo's question has the floor) jcastick: Thanks Mr. Lauer!! Blue Max disappears in a blinding flash of smoke. Gary L: Ringo, thanks for the ad suggestion. We want poser figures to integrate inside Bryce, Canoma, and other to be announced products. jcastick is off to save the world. AuntiAlias: dawn.... you're ON! : ) dawn: This may have already been asked, but I was curious about any new Photoshop plugins in the works???Maybe KPT6 or completely new batch with brand new goodies?And also would be interested in seeing a MetaCreations' vector illustration program. Sideways: [I must beg for a Vector F/X upgrade at this point...] Ringo: thanks for the information. tuckersaur: sree knows a lot about vectors ; ) Gary L: we're working on the next set of KPT plugins which may soon be available through electronic download from us directly. AuntiAlias: Queue List: jeffric, dimension, ghazelwood, MonkeyT, dickie, Cricket, kree, dickie, 3D elf, jcastick, Rob_C, tuckersaur, Edo!, tharkun.... (If you have a question, please type "?" and if you have a comment please type "!") Jeffric!!! It's YOU! Jeffric: will Bryce eventually get a plugin architecture that will allow 3rd parties to develop for it? and how long do we have until we get the B4 update / patch? dawn: No vector program??? ahole: Hey Tucker and Vectors know alot about Sree tuckersaur: they sure do! tharkun: Have you thought about partnering with somebody like Macromedia for the HTML side and interactivity/plug-in capability for Bryc? The use of a "partner: would seem to make sense in that MC can concentrate on the Graphics and 3D side, unless MC is moving int Gary L: We're working on a plugin architecture and the patch is coming tharkun: sorry ? AuntiAlias: dimension, you're UP! :D tharkun: miss typte dimension: When will MetaC have a package of Bryce, Poser, BryceTalk, and maybe a copy or Canoma in one package at a discounted price when you buy all of them?? And also, when will we all be millionares? ChaMelEon: lol Mcharb: ? dimension: whats so funny! Clark/CDS: anti-bump response#1 MetaCharacter: dawn: http://www.metacreations.com/products/expression/ Gary L: dimension, we may do a 3d package this year. I hope you're a millionaire soon, so you won't need to buy discounted packages from us ChaMelEon: And also, when will we all be millionares? Edo!: expression is great norm saunters in. dimension: I'm not joking!! AuntiAlias: ghazelwood!! dimension: ok Cool! LoL dawn: thanks.. ghazelwood: With final effectsAP and Final Effects complete sold and live picture being shopped around will we see more plugins for premiere or after effects,a stand alone professional video editor and a repurchase of Live Picture? JeffP is off to see the Wizard. sepapu has just left. ChaMelEon: Marry Rich... MetaJohn: Welcome to Meet Gary Lauer night in BryceTalk! We're all gathered in a room called "Meet Gary Lauer" Click the top button at left to see the room list. Double-click that name and join us! We're having a moderated night, so if you have a question, please JeffP saunters in. MetaJohn: woops Clay: LOL technoid: hehe slareau: LOL! dimension: Hey Chameleon im not getting married for another 10-15 years! Danoe: all you millionaires...can I have $399...for Canoma?LOL ChaMelEon: your problem, not mine...;) Calyxa: dim's only 11. dimension: sure but you gotta pay me $499, deal? Gary L: ghazelwood, we have no plans to do anything in the video area presently AuntiAlias: Queue: MonkeyT, dickie, Cricket, kree, dickie, 3D elf, jcastick, Rob_C, tuckersaur, Edo!, tharkun, Mcharb aeryn has just left. norm: I just got home. Guess I missed everything? AuntiAlias: MonkeyT!! It's YOU!!! MonkeyT: After many years of Brycing, I've watched the careful dance of Bryce development between "more features" and "keep it simple." I want only one thing: Open Scripting Architecture compliance (particularly Applescript, please pardon the personal bias). If Bryce were scriptable, complex behavior could be controlled from outside the program, leaving the internal controls uncluttered by overly technical stuff. No more bloatware. Run only the tools you need, externally, customized. Plugging coordinates in from outside software could open up the program for some fantastic uses: Scientific & mathematical simulations, business presentation. Think 'Phenomenal animated bar graphs from Excel.' It would give the ambitious users a chance to customize the program in ways no other midrange 3D program allows. Plug-ins that ANYONE could write, not just programmers. Sideways: [MonkeyT: Scripting, I'm with you.] ChaMelEon: whew! Gary L: you may see something like this in a future version of Bryce tuckersaur: Wow! Excellent idea - intense... MonkeyT: My own experiments of scripting mouseclicks and keystrokes are interesting, but nothing outrageously successful yet. I'll keep slugging, just 'cause I'm stubborn. But access to Bryce's object matrices would make my life much easier. AuntiAlias: dickie.... your turn!! Sideways: [MonkeyT: Tried Keyquencer?] dickie: Hi, its probably been asked already but is there any news on additional export plugins like dxf for primatives or a render export? Pegasus has more important business elsewhere. dickie: so MetaG disappears in a blinding flash of smoke. norm is off to render mirrored spheres. Gary L: yes, and we'll be posting some for download. We're always open for importer/exporter suggestions AuntiAlias: Cricket.... you're up! :D Cricket: Suggestion: From what I've seen around here, please consider using John Feld as a product usability tester. If something confuses him..CHANGE IT. <g> Also, if you don't wear briefs or jockies, did you mean long johns? And is there a patch for KPT5 yet? jpladue wants to play too. dickie: Cheers Mr L MetaScott slinks out. KPT John: Thanx Cricket dickie: I'm gone Cricket: <g> MetaCharacter slinks out. dickie has just left. Suddenly jplapointe appears. AuntiAlias: Queue: kree, dickie, 3D elf, jcastick, Rob_C, tuckersaur, Edo!, tharkun, Mcharb, ... if you have a question, please type "?" ... and if you have a comment, please type "!" Suddenly Brian Hitney appears. dimension: Is jplapointe and jpladue the same person? Gary L: Patch is coming for KPT5 soon and John Feld wears Long Johns! Cricket: LOL! Clay: LOL jplapointe: No! AuntiAlias: kree... you're ON! Brian Hitney: whoa, pleasant thing to read upon entering :) jpladue: No! Gary L: lol jplapointe: :) Mhyper: LOL kree: I have a question regarding KPT5, and constant memory errors when applying blurr filters on large files. I have a Dell 450 w/128 ram. I got a rather underwhelming admission from support that there was indeed a problem, but basically may or may not fix it. KPT John: Welcome Brian dimension: lol jplapointe: Hey John! Hello dimension: ok sorry im kinda confused Brian Hitney: Hi... which John is this? KPT John: Bonjour JP MetaBrian is off to render mirrored spheres. Gary L: I don't know the answer but I believe it's being addressed jplapointe: No problem KPT John: John Feld thinkpiece wants to play too. AuntiAlias: dickie.... you're next! :D jpladue: hmmm Brian Hitney: ah! Greets John! Suddenly MetaBrian appears. ghazelwood disappears in a blinding flash of smoke. AuntiAlias: Queue: 3D elf, jcastick, Rob_C, tuckersaur, Edo!, tharkun, Mcharb, ... if you have a question, please type "?" ... and if you have a comment, please type "!" while you are waiting for me to call on you, go ahead and type your question,.. then hit return when I call on you.... 3d~?~elf: (pass) AuntiAlias: dickie? you here? SolidSnake is off to render mirrored spheres. AuntiAlias: jcastick! it's YOU! robokoneko has just left. thinkpiece is off to render mirrored spheres. Reflash: dawn--check t minus 30 ChaMelEon: SolidSnake is a sickass name! AuntiAlias: Rob_C!!!! desdanova: ? Rob_C: Um... need any more Bryce artists fer MC's illustrations? <wink wink> Also... will we see an Expression 2? Great program but it really needs a new version! ChaMelEon: It does? Gary L: Rob, please send us any illustrations you have to John Feld KPT John: THanx Gary AuntiAlias: : ) Clay: LOL Rob_C: For example, angle-sensitive pressure sens. stuff KPT John: Send them along Rob Gary L: Probably no Expression 2 :( Rob_C: hehee will do. Yer in for it, Johnny! Awwww.... =( AuntiAlias: tuckersaur!!! it's YOU! KPT John: I know where you live Rob MonkeyT is off to render mirrored spheres. tuckersaur: The orignal Bryce1 contained a simple AfterDark screen saver. I suggest a future Bryce that includes a screensaver that uses Bryce movie files and a user-friendly ability to create looping animations in Bryce. Also... Sideways: [Rob_C: Illustrator 8's brushes do a good job -- no transparency, though.] Clay: ! tuckersaur: I had the same Bryce plug-in question as well. I'd just like to add Klaus Busse's bsmooth would be a great candidate for the first plug-in. and finally... fluffy has just left. ChaMelEon: I'll sent my terrabytes to john too...:) Gary L: thanks!!!! Rob_C: Kay thanks... Gotta run and see my band soon! tuckersaur: Can we see true implementation of pressure sensitivity in a future Bryce - re: tablets? Rob_C has more important business elsewhere. jplapointe: I will back jplapointe is off to save the world. ccasady: ? Gary L: Perhaps in the terrain editor AuntiAlias: Queue: Edo!, tharkun, Mcharb,desdanova, Clay, ccasady,
