too bad..this discussion brings down the pleasure many of us had by joining ( and working hard) for the contest. I can only say : I enjoyed the contest, I...
Damien, Your response mirrors what I've come to expect from you. You don't really address issues or questions but choose instead to resort to invective (I'm...
As the contest contention appears to have spilled into the list, can I ask for a clarification? If I understand correctly, the accusation is that judges were...
Knowing I should keep my nose out of this, I will add that a few years I submitted images for a calendar contest. Well, of course I did not win, as I was a...
Those of you not interested in contest clarifications may skip this message. Nick, - If I understand correctly, the accusation is that judges were in a -...

... I have a bit of a problem with that idea as well. Unless the contest is supposed to be strictly an abstract thing, in which case just about anyone is...
I know 2 of the judges personally and I can assure those complaining that their (the judges) images are for display only and ARE NOT part of the contest as far...
But you aren't telling the whole story, Damien. Everything starts with the judges. They are not juried and have an assured spot in the exhibition before a...
... Nonsense. I'm not sure where you got that idea, but kindly put it to rest. You're jealous, that's evident. You're not making any points with anyone by...
- I am not saying they deserve it, as their work is beautiful and - inspiring. I think you left out the word "don't" before "deserve", but I can't be certain ...
I came across a beautiful image of a seaweed on LiveScience.com that reminded me of some of the interesting organic forms that can be created in XD. ...
*Note*: while rendering, the picture is normally updated once per second. If the View is set to 'To Fit', updating the picture is slower so the interval is...
Hi, anyone know if its possible to export color meshes? they always render monochrome. I'm experimenting with printing out shapes from a Zcorp450 3D colour...
Hi Stuart, It is not possible to export any color with meshes at present. Due to the high memory needs of the export process, any extra data would probably...
We are pleased to announce the release of v2.019, a free update for v2.x. You can download an updated xd2setup file using the same link as for earlier 2.x...
I certainly cannot claim to be anywhere near an expert at doing XD animations, but I have found a couple of things along the way. I would like to pass those...
Very interesting animations you have there. Excellent observations on the animation tools in XD. Regarding the 29.97 frame rate, my understanding is that this...
I saw Kris' video. It was that video that prompted me into trying a few myself. I have been having oodles of fun ever since. If I have any problem, it is...
Here is the complete spiral animation of which I posted a segment anumber of days ago. At three minutes twenty seconds it is the longest one I have done to...
When I reload a depth map (.pgm 9k x 9k pixels), some of the lighting presets don't appear to work properly, for example the 1.6 and 1st and many others. I'm...
I would like to save the shape memory spots with each file, so that when I open an old file I can see various versions of that file that I have saved. The same...
Hi Thomas, ... I don't know if he already had that piece in mind, as he did various animation experiments before beginning it, and didn't mention that one ...
... Instead of saving and reloading the lit picture, you need to save and reload the unlit picture. Then it should resume correctly, aside from one other...
... V2 allows saving and reopening the shape memory spots as a set of xep files, so you can give them the same name as your main file (they get suffixes). ...
While memory spots are handy, remembering what each is/was (especially if seen days later) is troublesome. I have another 3D program that saves camera views...
I am in the process of putting together my latest animation. As a result of that I discovered two important aspects of QuickTime - one a feature, the other a...
