Welcome to Issue 21 of the Third Dimension disk magazine for 3D
Construction Kit 1 and 2 users on all computer formats.This
month's diskmag is the New Year issue.So I would like to take
this opportunity to wish you all a Prosperous and Happy New Year!
Because this issue was created over the Christmas period the
content is not as great as usual because contributions are always
slow to come in over this period.Even so there are still some
great items to look at.This month we have a large tutorial on
using the LOCK MODE function,creating animations from kit objects,
colour remapping,animbrushes/brushanims of kit objects,colour
mattes plus kit 1 and 2 tutorial step by step games,some funny
textfiles,a tutorial on recreating actual rooms and buildings,
some Kung Fu sound samples and loads more!
The New Year diskmag editions will see tutorials on some of the
more difficult aspects of the kits being explained and you will
be shown how to implement these ideas into your own datafiles and
routines.These include tutorials on such things as-
Characters,Strings,Arrays,Advanced sound effects,Brushanim
effects,Fade effects,Animations,Variables,Triggers and lots more!
These will all be explained easily and clearly so that they are
easy to follow.There will also be easier routines and ideas to
follow.Issue 24 ( our second bithday issue ) will be a
very special edition that may come on several disks.We may also
be starting up a new idea in the New Year.The best 3D kit games
will be appearing (with the authors permission) on a new series
of disks entitled 'Third Dimension Gold'.These will probably be
advertised at 2.99 each and will be full games.The author will
receive half this amount for each disk sold and all the disks
will appear in any adverts that we take out with computer mags.
If you like this idea then let me know.
If you are new to this diskmag then please note that you need
either 3D Construction kit 1 or 2 to be able to view the
datafiles on this disk.Details of where to get this is mentioned
further below.To see what can be achieved why not purchase one of
the many disks shown in the PD library section that are available
for all computer formats.Alternatively,try the Amiga-VR-PIANO,
VR-CITY,VR-DRUMS disk available from most good Amiga PD libraries
and the Third Dimension PD library.
Yet more members have approached me on the subject of a get-
together for kit users.If you like this idea of a central place
to swap and show your ideas and to put a face to the many members
then please let me know.
The OUR-TOWN datafile now has an accompanying textfile (as well
as the our-town.txt) called OUR-TALES.TXT.This provides you with
stories about what actually happens there.The town has also
expanded yet again and now has a festive feel to it.Take a look
and if you haven't sent a building or object in yet,then have a go!
Thanks goes to Peter D Ward for giving it a festive feel.
You should have at the very least,version 2.09 of 3D kit 2 for
the Atari and Amiga.PC users should have version 2.11.To find out
your kit version,load up kit 2 then look in the ABOUT pull down
menu.Mandy Rodrigues can supply you with the very latest version
providing that you send a SSAE and your old kit disk.Mandy can
also provide back issues of the kit newsletters at £2 each.
Tel- 01492 877305 for more details.

So you have got kit 1 and/or 2 and you are still having some
problems with certain parts of the kit.You would also prefer it
if your problem could be solved with a datafile example and an
explanation in easy steps to show how it's done.You also don't
want your name mentioned for fear that you may not quite be as
proficient with using the kits as other members.What can you do?
Easy! fill in the questionnaire (found on this disk) and post
it to the Third Dimension! You don't need to add your name and
your problem will hopefully be solved for the next issue!
Tony Hartley.
