> i just read that 3dsmax only runs in Windows 2000 and XP professional and i heard my program doesn't run in those OS. what the hell? why didn't anyone tell me?

I told you looong time ago( 7 or 8 months) that your dos program did not work in Win2000.

> flyby why don't you answer me about LT. Zack? how can you tell me he will have the full list soon and then i hear nothing from you or him about it?

I can't help it he doesn't answer you, can I ??
He claimed he would have THE RA2 normal list "soon", that's now about a week ago...

So, for a change, I'll just watch from the side lines to see how well all the wannabees do with the normal research.

I'll probably continue if nothing moves the weeks to come.

> i'll be able to implement procedurals finally that you can edit. hours of fun for the whole family. i couldn't find any code on how to do procedurals but i think i know how to do it and i'll make it easy for people hopefully. i was messing around with animating procedurals. it looks so cool.

nice to hear...

> i wonder how geforce3 and radeon can handle procedurals. i guess they would have to keep loading different ones many times per picture since those cards can hold only a little bit of custom code. barely enough for one procedural.

If it is a 3dsmax oriented card you want then Nvidia is the only choice. In my 3D world, ATI is notorious for his crappy OGL drivers. How well they both handle procedurals is unknown to me.
