what is that? a cube that what you can put any picture on and it will be usable as a 3d model? I read it all, and seem to get it, but not quite sure. Sharen

Is this a joke item or something I don't understand? Or, obviously, both :)
amon_g posted Tue, 01 April 2003 at 8:58 AM
The millenium cube even has a T-Bone stake morph! That would be perfect to use with Sharen's Bar-B-Q ;) Thanks for the laugh DAZ! :)

Did you see the small print on the last page of what you can do with the cube? "*Morphs not included" D'oh!
Blazerwiccan posted Tue, 01 April 2003 at 9:02 AM
Read the fine print: "Ultimate Morphing* Hi-Res Millennium Cube OBJ and PP2. 26,136 Polygons. 26,666 Texture Vertices. Perfectly Flat UV Mapping. Completely Aleviates Any and All Texture Smearing or Stretching. 500+ Morphs*. See Pop-ups For Extreme Versatility *Morphs Not Included." So all that but Morphs are Not Included it has to be a joke lol.

Now, if it had 65,536 morphs, then it would have been funny! But, I can buy a hi-res cube at Turbo Squid for $100 and I can use that for commercial renders. Is DAZ's free model worth it? Personally, I don't see the advantage of not being able to use something without restriction. And what if I make my own model from the cube? Will DAZ let me re-distribute the base obj file?

Dang, and here I am still waiting for the Millenium Tetragon! When oh when are you going to give it to us Daz???? ;-)
dialyn posted Tue, 01 April 2003 at 12:44 PM
Don't tell anyone, but I hear morphs will be sold in the Plantinum Club so that the Millenium cube can be morphed into a Millenium cat and a pair of Millenium pants for the V3 male.
pigfish posted Tue, 01 April 2003 at 1:00 PM
Pokeydots, don't feel bad. I fell for it, too. It's a good thing we have a sense of humor. I'm presuming this really is a high res cube since the information is there for the prop. I even downloaded the texture map. It still might come in handy for making a pair of dice.
xoconostle posted Tue, 01 April 2003 at 1:58 PM
There's no need for a Millennium Tetragon. You can morph the cube to be one. Anton is working hard on some sort of "dial" technology that allows you to change the number of facets quickly. As I understand, there will be tras maps released later in the week that put "holes" into the cube so that you can make Swiss cheese for the HouseMouse. There will also be faery wings and anime eyes for the cube, since that will help to put sales over the top. I am not looking forward to seeing what the Renderotica merchants are going to make for this extraordinary model. Run away! Run away!

Wow! The Millennium Cube is awesome! I did this all in Poser with the Cube. No drunken nights in New Orleans, no photography or postwork at all! Thanks DAZ!!!

Now wait a minute, Anton. Those textures bear a STRIKING similarity to BeBop's "White Cow Eating Marshmallows in the Snow" textures. What would cooler say? :-)

Yep Ernyoka, in Italy we call it "pesce d'aprile" (April's fish) :-)

I didn't want to say anything about the UV-mapping, because it's clearly a masterful job of distortion-free unwrapping, but there's an awful lot of wasted space on that template.
