- ---------------------- 3D Studio Mail-List ----------------------
-
- -- WHAT IS 3D Studio? --
-
- 3D Studio is a 3D modeling, rendering and animation package from the
- makers of AutoCAD, AutoDesk. The software runs on the IBM/compatible
- platform. The 3D Studio software allows and artist to create three
- dimensional photo-realistic images for a variety of purposes.
-
- -- WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? --
-
- This mailing list is for those interested in the 3D Studio software, how
- it operates and in ideas on how to obtain the best quality images
- available to them. The list is for those who own the software as well
- as those just interested in what can be done with the package. We hope
- to share information, tips, procedures and to bond as a group.
-
- -- WHAT ARE THE RULES? --
-
- Since 3D Studio is just a part of suite of tools required to produce 3D
- graphics and animation, I'm sure we will discuss a few items related to
- the IBM/Compatible platform and display devices. However, we will
- strive to keep the subject revolving specifically around the 3D
- software, related tools and products.
-
- You do NOT have to own 3D Studio to join this list!
-
- -- OK! HOW DO I JOIN? --
-
- To become a member of the 3D Studio mailing list you must send a mail
- message to the address:
-
- 3dstudio-request@bobsbox.rent.com

- In the body of the message enter:
-
- subscribe <address> 3dstudio
-
- Example:
-
- subscribe bobl@bobsbox.rent.com 3dstudio
-
- The listserv software will automatically subscribe you to the list and
- you can also unsubscribe the same way using unsubscribe instead of
- subscribe as the command you send to the listserv software
-
- -- HOW DO I POST TO THE LIST? --
-
- Contributing to the list is simple. Just mail your articles to the
- following address:
-
- 3dstudio@bobsbox.rent.com
-
- Your article will be processed by the system and distributed to all

- short while still send a request for a suspension of your membership.
-
- -- WHAT ABOUT OLD ARTICLES? --
-
- I am currently archiving all the articles posted to the list at the
- originating site (bobsbox). However, I can not continue to do this due
- to lack of disk space. What we need is a volunteer that will maintain a
- compendium of articles sent to the list. They can compress and store
- them in archives on their system. They can then periodically post an
- index of the contents of the compendium and any other information that
- relates.
-
- If there are no volunteers then maybe someone can donate a large SCSI
- hard drive to me for archival purposes. <grin>
-
- I have setup a mail-based file server so that anyone interested in the
- list can obtain information as well as the entire archive of past
- articles, the membership listing and other information pertaining to
- the 3D Studio mailing list. For information on this service, please
- send a mail message to:
-
- fileserver@bobsbox.rent.com
-
- The first command to the server must be "HELP" or "USER name <passwd>".
-
- Use HELP to request a current copy of the helpfile.
- Use USER name [passwd] to connect to the service.
- Use ? to get a short listing of all available commands.
-
-
-
- -- NOW WHAT DO I DO? --
-
- Well, sit back and enjoy the pouring out of information. If you have
- something to offer, please feel free to contribute that information to
- the list. Every little bit helps. Questions are welcomed! It makes
- some of us feel important when we can answer them. <grin>
-
- If you have any questions or comments regarding the list, please contact
- me at the address:
