How do the Widgets work in Metastream Scene builder? Please!!! There are not many people out there doing Metastreaming... let me know.

I would help if I could, but Metastream has STILL not been released for Mac. Also, after Metacreations dumped their product line I am giving them second thoughts.

it is annoying that metacreations seems to be paying less & less attention to the mac community esp. with regards to metastream, the basket they're supposedly putting all their eggs in. the last version of ray dream (5.5) shipped with a pc exporter but without a mac exporter and their web site has no mac version for the latest version of the plugin/player. the very least they could have done is keep the last mac version (2.2) available for download. in any case if you want a copy of that version, drop me a line. it will read metastream files created with curious labs' metastream exporter, but this exporter offers no frills.

actually i just found out v2 is still on the metastream site -- for some reason i couldn't access the page with navigator. a subsequent visit using explorer did give me access. that url by the way is: www.metastream.com/viewer/mac/MetaStreamInstaller.sit.hqx

One thing that enticed me with Metacreations products, was Metastreaming. If I want to export a object and place it on my web page, is that still possible? Someone would need the plug-in of course to view it. Considering alot of Adobe's user's are also Mac users, it seems that Metacreations might be making a very bad move.

what's needed is a 3d modeller & a metastream exporter. currently the only options available for mac users are poser (curious labs just posted an export plugin) and carrara. if there are any others options i'd like to know of them. if you're into flash, you might want to check out www.vecta3d.com & www.swift3d.com. these promise to be better than metastream but like so many others these days, mac versions are not out but due "soon" ... your last option is vrml, but the files can be enormous. i exported the same model in metastream & vrml and the metastream file was 250k while the vrml file was 7mb! if your want to see some examples of metastream files generated using the poser exporter, visit: www.aarrgghh.com/3dcharacters

Well I tried my first Metastream file on the web.Exported from Poser, no problems, inserted file in my web page creator, tested okay, loaded files to web site, uploaded with no problem,tried to open with my browser and it failed.Are the guy's at you-know-who laughing while they count there money?
