Hello.

I'm creating 3d computer generated advertising videos using Performer on
an Onyx and I'm really interested in this .ptu data format. Actually I
still didn't understand it's advantages. Can you explain me how to create
them and how can it be used?

I'm currently using VistaPro for PC to create 3D terrains from .PCX color
maps. VistaPro generates .DXF which I finally convert to .IV. I then apply
a texture to them using ShowCase and voila'.

Is this a silly method?

Actually we got Alias|Wavefront last week but I still don't know how to
use it.

Can you please point me to all the information about these matters?!

thanks
        Nuno

PS. Oh, and how can we get ONYX Greatest Hits?
