I'm looking for a description of the file format used to represent
objects in Sculpt-3d.  I have datasets which I can read and manipulate
just fine with Sculpt, but I want to export the data to another application.
The Sculpt manual mentions a way of importing ascii vertex data, but no way
of exporting it.

I know about the Interchange package, but I have no need for a general 
conversion utility if I can write my own for this specific situation.

If anyone has a description of the format, can they please send it to me?
Also, I might recommend sending a copy to zamenhof.cs.rice.edu, to go with
the Turbo Silver format descriptions.

Thanks in advance,
Glen

Great news! Postscript is undoubtedly essential, but I would strongly
encourage a facility for Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM), Corel Draw (CDR),
Micrographx Designer (DRW), AutoCAD (DXF), Lotus (PIC), WordPerfect (WPG)
and our own DR2D file formats. When you consider the volume of structured
clipart available on other platforms, I'm sure that such a program will be
welcomed by the DTP/graphics/multimedia community.

Unfortunately, of the current packages offering autotracing options
(Pro Draw and Expert Draw), both use a proprietary output format. What
we really need is an autotrace which will generate either EPS or DR2D.

I did briefly take a look at Digital Arts at Siggraph but was unaware that
they were now fully RenderMan compliant. It looked quite good.

While the RenderMan specification does not define any specific method for
determining visibility, the REYES render typically uses a Zbuffer which
is computationally trivial. However......

>Breaking the "primitives" into micro-polys is
>actually quite quick, although it _is_ hard-disk intensive.

While dicing may be quick, those micro-polys must be stochatically super
sampled with a Z interpolation for each sample point. So while the method
of visibility determination is simple, the shear number of calculations
forced by super sampling makes quite a burden. Ofcourse this means you
get nice clean surface intersections :-)

True, but typically much slower than the more standard scanline/Zbuffer
rendering methods.

Mark,

It may be that there were artifacts in your morph, but that wasn't the
one I had in mind.  I was thinking of the morph of a woman's face
changing into another (human) face.  It looked quite nice and I saw no
morphine artifacts (although it was done in low-res HAM and hence was a
little difficult to tell).  It looked quite nice, in any case, and was
done with IP according to the "readme" note that came with it.

  I have a DJ500C that I bout at Comp-USA several months ago.  I've been

  My only complaint is that it is CMY and not CMYK.  When printing "black"
  and using the color cartridge, it kinduv looks deep dark purple.  Hopefully,
  I will get a better driver and perhaps that will improve it.

  In practice, that hasn't turned out to be much of a drawback.  I don't 
  mix color graphics and text much.  You might also check out the HP PaintJet
  or PaintJet/XL.  The PaintJet is pretty much the same price range as the 
  500C.  The PaintJet/XL is pricier.  Both can often be found at auctions

I would consider this to be a secondary concern, but useful for those wanting
to incorporate structured graphics into multimedia presentations etc.
Fortunately, existing structured drawing packages all have this IFF/ILBM output
capability.

The association with raster image processing is due to the fact that
Black Belt and ASDG were solicited as prospective candidates to
either include such conversion capabilities or perhaps develop a standalone
facility directed more towards the DTP/CAD market. An autotrace function
was suggested to bridge the gap between the two areas.

I consider support for vector-based graphics to be more within the domain of
either Stylus, Soft-Logik or Gold Disk, but consider both Black Belt and ASDG
as more likely candidates. I came to this conclusion after contacting the other
companies, whose response ranged from potential consideration to
indifference. When you consider the fact that Gold Disk's Windows Pro Draw
package more than adequately fulfills this interest, the resources devoted
to the Amiga version appear rather token. 

Cheers,

Mark

I personally use both Dyna-mate and Dyna-Show for those rare occasions
that I actually look at Dynamic Hi-Res images.  I like Dyna-Show's 
overscan support, while Dyna-mate's scrolling capability and ability to
handle odd image sizes is nice.

Not all iff images can be viewed with Mostra, however.  If I'm not mis-
taken, only the most recent version (1.07) can view PCHG images.  As you 
noted above, this version does not have the indirect support for dynamic
hi-res that the previous versions do.  Nevertheless, Mostra is the best
viewer for the Amiga, IMHO.
