whats' the Indeo Video Playback codec?...worth buying?

welcome aboard ttops!...appreciate ur initiative...what we have here is the following 3 options: a) build upon the existing functionality of bryce lightning to include logging/timestamp features b) build a client from bottom-up that is downloadable and can provide the required features - If you are familiar with Java then do check out http://www.jxta.org These guys have provided an entire framework specifically geared towards p2p apps c) build an applet: for e.g. I came across this login/password app on http://www.javaside.com/asp/mus.asp?page=/us/tpassword.shtml . Perhaps we could look on building a similar architecture I am acquainted with C and partly with C++...I am currently going thru Java...I have no web programming experience per se and am looking forward to a first good project...this seems quite tantalising...So it really is your call as to the route we shld take to get there... why don't u get on to our yahoo groups?...hey, nice work in 3D btw! looking fwd to working with u... BTW ppl check http://www.respower.com/ - we cud have something similar for no cost if this goes thru!

Cyberbeast check http://www.webattack.com/freeware/network/ for IP solutions...there are ways arnd it so to the rest of the world ur IP seems static...i m doing it and am runnin' an entire web server of my laptop! good luck!

i have been looking at the jxta p2p framework by Sun...seems like an efficient way to get things done...but it'll take time and effort (and contribution from other programmers ofcourse!) in the meantime, we can kick off with the yahoo groups concept...madmax u've been approved. does bryce lightning offer a logging facility?...would appreciate some suggestions on how (and i knw i have been stressing on this quite a bit) to implement a system to ensure every1 gets a fair share of pooled CPU power...any1 familiar with lighning here?

Denis99...www.keen.com is a place where you can search through a database of people offering a wide array of services (from web designing to tax calculation) and get in touch with them...It's one of the few sites that survived the dotcom crash...check a lil' deeper please.

All opinions appreciated!...i hope yahoo groups can do the job: Group home page : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bryceforce Group email : bryceforce@yahoogroups.com this way the IPs of all members remain within the group...more the merrier ofcourse...let's give it a shot!

that's jst gr8 madmax...like i mentioned, i m learning java and wud enjoy workin on this as my first project... now u sounded knowledgable abt this clock/log stuff...get the ball rolling buddy...i have some free space on angelfire.com...can use it for login and registration...can make u a decent frontend. any java guys arnd? suggestions appreciated.

hey buddy!...u got some nice stuff in ur gallery! check www.keen.com - u can get some help there! cheers!

i am glad to see the response here!...so we're rollin' then...it seems that some of the technical problems mentioned above have a workaround...however, i reckon that some kinda measure to ensure that everyone gets a fair share of the "gargantuan", and i mean huge, amount of CPU power that we can generate here using the Net must be implemented... ...any1 worked with Bryce Lightening?...maybe we can bring in the expertise of some of the programmers among us and build on it so every1's usage/contribution can be clocked and made public...u get what u give guys - thats all i m tryin to say! OR we can work on a honour system...hmm...what do u say? suggestions appreciated as always! BTW: any1 has SETI@home client installed?..when do u guys reckon we will make "contact"?:)

i was a happy man till the automation in Natural Pose kicked it...it gets stuck at an Open dialogue and quits wit an error msg! any freeware alternatives available since susanna costs a bit of money! advise pls!

thanx for the reply!...So if I get this right, what u're saying is that I can only make the tornado seem to rotate fast using: a) blurry texture b) use props such as debris it cannot, however, rotate faster by using any other means...am i on the right track? what do u mean by "animate the texture" and "rotate your model slightly to create the larger movements"? your answers wud be greatly appreciated, as always!

appreciate that!

u're right there on that twister tute...it is infact jst one page!...find it at http://jim.barros.com/tutes.htm BTW any1 here eXperimented and came up w/ some realistic twisters so far? cheers!

appreciate that!...Hey Zhaan how can i get 2 that tutorial?
