Mache · 15 March 2003, 13:22

hi!

just wanted to let you know about my homepage

http://magc.de.vu

where you can find some boxes in 3d! there's not that much to see right now, but many more boxes will follow!

...and you are welcome to help me with my english

nice website
nice logo
nice boxscan

ps: your url was already in our IRC topic since two weeks
ps2: maybe you can also post screenshot for the peeps who want to preview the result before installing the 3D replayer.

This really is a nice site and a nice idea..

it brings back fond memories and would be an excellent partner to work with CAPS to provide the 3D boxes within the caps release

Do you do requests

if so can I you do the boxes for:

Captive
SWOS
Yo Joe

again.. nice

It's part of CAPS for a long time by now

The models will be separated downloads for various reasons and probably the final versions will be generated scripts.

@Mache: To bad that the vrml files are so badly written (sorry...

) that they only work with blaxxun Contact. You have defined the faces incorrectly... I have made some 3d boxes from pc games, if you need a sample vrml file that works with all plug-ins, let me know!

Mache · 15 March 2003, 16:13

@RCK
thank you! oh, i didn't know about that irc topic...
i will think about some previews!

@bippym
yes, caps is working on a way to display the included box scans in a 3d viewer. a caps member told me that they wanted to build this feature sometimes, so i decided to make some boxes for online viewing.

@WindowsKiller
pm habe ich erhalten, arbeite daran

I don't want to instal Real anything...

15 March 2003, 23:51

This is not Real anything but I've uninstalled the viewer after looking at the boxes in case some spyware or bonzigaymonkey might pop up (knowing that uninstalling won't help anything)

Mache · 20 March 2003, 11:53

hi!

i've updated the models. fortunately, they needed only minor changes

thanks to WindowsKiller!

fiath · 20 March 2003, 14:16

Well done Marc & WK!

I have sucessfully tested the new models in:

Blaxxun Contact
Cosmo
Cortona

Which I think are the only commercial grade VRML viewers on winblows (?).

All work perfectly!

)

I also tested with (ahem) rather high resolution scans,

and found that Cortona does not like very large textures. Only the top and the bottom of the boxes are visible. I will mail them and see if they plan to add support.

Cosmo and (obviously) Blaxxum Contact still work fine still though!

Again well done!

Cortona loads the textures on-the-fly. Just wait a little and they should appear. Or enable "wait for all resources" in the settings.

fiath · 20 March 2003, 14:43

Well, I waited for ages, but nothing. I then uninstalled, and tried the Cortona 4.1 beta. This worked fine.

After your suggestion, I uninstalled 4.1 beta and installed 4.0 again - now they come up with no delay at all!

No sure what I did, but I turned on "wait for resources" just in case...

Anyway, it great to see they all work perfectly now!

(Even though Blaxxum Contact blows the competition out of the water and everybody should just use that

)
