1=Excellent, 2=Good, 3=OK, 4=Trash EMAIL: esolkasiul@aol.com LOCATION: la la land URL: http://users.aol.com/ratscabby OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: I hope it works. :) the changes look nice Luisa Sep 1, 1997 NAME: Steamtrain EMAIL: Pandora@tig.com.au LOCATION: Sydney,Australia URL: OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: What a wicked site....... Sep 2, 1997 NAME: Keith Larman EMAIL: kdlarman@psy-test.com LOCATION: Glendale, California URL: working on it... OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Your images are truly fantastic. I'm incredibly impressed by your careful lighting and texturing yeilding what are virtually photo quality images. Also, as a person who's formal education (through grad school) was in philosophy and mostly bioethics but who veered into computer work instead (gotta pay the bills), I find your observations on medical issues very insightful and at times touching. It's good to see there are still physicians who have not lost touch with the sometimes scared, often confused persons they are treating. Keith Sep 2, 1997 NAME: Curt Brandhorst EMAIL: PCRCurt@Aol.com LOCATION: OuterCyberia:) URL: members.aol.com/brandy342 OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Just to give it a try, and a fair comparison...

Some of the best I've seen on the net, and that's no joke. Very good work, I must say. In fact, I have just one little complaint. Why AOL??? Seriously, I almost don't even bother with pages that are on AOL. Unless you have a good reason to use it, ISPs are cheap now. Sorry, end of tirade. Love your site. Sep 8, 1997 NAME: Ryan Delaney EMAIL: ryan@ici.net LOCATION: URL: OPINION: 2 COMMENTS: Hi. Justwanted to express to you how great i think your page is. I have been learning how to use Truespace for about 2 months now. I have found you page to be very useful and better than most that I have seen out on the web. Keep up the good work :) Sep 10, 1997 NAME: Tom Marlin EMAIL: tmarlin@marlinstudios.com LOCATION: Arlington, Texas URL: http://members.aol.com/ltwall/www.marlinstudios.com/studio OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Jeff, You're one of the few non-professional artists to whom I would say, "DO quit your day job!" But considering the important work you do, I guess it's nice that you can do both. I particularly like your Orrery and Raveneye. I'm a studen of Native American culture. Did you know there's a Caddo tribal belief that if you look in the eye of a crow you can see eternal life? Your image reminded me of that one. Awesome work. I love your migration to photorealistic, yet artistic scenes. The statement along with each is special too. Don't ever stop creating your art.

What's up pussy cat. How is Karen holding up. Baby Boy on his way? Life is grand with me. Except I was in Florida and had a little MI - spent a couple of days in the hospital and now those mean cardiologists have taken away my HoHo's and diet coke. They replaced the good stuff with carrotts and fruit. Bad Bad cardiologists. Zach turned one! Can't believe it. I hear things are still crazy over a FW0. One episode after another. Have fun. Give me a call and we'll have a cocktail or lunch. 358-1100 (office) 648-5635 (home) Oct 7, 1997 NAME: Scott & Sue EMAIL: suekd5 LOCATION: Forest Green GMC Suburban URL: with 5 kids--are you serious??? OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: We are impressed--this stuff is very cool. You have obviously graduated from your Nintendo/Lego stage. This is of course WAY over our heads. Scott is just a tad disappointed he was waiting for something a bit more "graphic"--in other words "where are the really good pictures!" I think he was hoping there would be some kind of gynecology tie in here. Strictly professional you understand. Well Wally, I guess I finally have to admit that you are smarter then I am (this is painful) however, I am a trifle concerned about all the free time you have on your hands. Aren't women in Kansas City having babies anymore? At least you know that if you decide that OB/Gyn isn't for you, your future as the king of digital imagery is assured!! We enjoyed the tour. Your upcoming "big event" is never far from our thoughts--talk to you soon. much love scott&sue Oct 8, 1997 NAME: FOETA EMAIL: foeta@geocities.com LOCATION: FOETA URL: http://members.aol.com/ltwall/www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/3777 OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: VERY COOL HOMEPAGE COOL PICS in witch program did you do bryce pictures MAIL SOON foeta@geocities.com Oct 10, 1997 NAME: Greg Schwartz EMAIL: Metalink2aol.com LOCATION: Tucson URL: OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: great stuff Jeff!

I'm the guy who gave you the trueSpace "Brilliancy Mapping" tip a few years back. Well, after the whole AOL screw up, I quit 'em, and joined another ISP. I always wondered how to find your page again and, tonight, I finally did. Well, after a brief stint with a copy (ok, ok, a pirated copy) of 3DS Max, I bought LightWave 3D. I've only had it a few months, but I really like it. The particle animation plugin is incredible. I just needed something that offered some more high-end features than trueSpace does... Particle animation, volumetrics, IK (before TS3) and a faster and better renderer. I got all of them, along with a few quirks, but on the whole, I really like it. Anyway, your site's great. Love some of your images in the gallery. -Chris Oct 15, 1997 NAME: c0s EMAIL: c0s@west.ro LOCATION: Romania URL: http://members.aol.com/ltwall/www.west.o OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: I'd like to know more about cool lightning effects, an some glowing objects.

Keep up the good work. /mike Oct 21, 1997 NAME: Doug Doede EMAIL: doug.doede@cciw.ca LOCATION: Burlington, Ontario, Canada URL: none OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Hi "Wally": I have been dropping in now & then to check out your new images & have always admired your work. Found your tips section very helpful, especially for lighting. I especially liked the suggestion to watch old black & white movies; the Hitchcock and "Film Noir" classics are wonderful examples of lighting technique. I am amazed by the number of film-goers who are disappointed by the use of black & white in film; sometimes to the extent that they won't even watch an old movie that hasn't been "colorized". Regards Doug Oct 21, 1997 NAME: John EMAIL: John@ocean.aust.com LOCATION: Brisbane, Australia URL: n/a OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Thanks for your tips pages. I've just started playing around with ray-trace software. I bought a copy of truespace 3 to get started. Some of your work is excellent, very inspirational!!!!

Kelley EMAIL: rkelley@drawcad.com LOCATION: Washington, Iowa URL: http://drawcad.com/ OPINION: 2 COMMENTS: Like to see more of this I would say some of your renderings are Excellent. The over all advice is great, as the manuals from truespace are like reading something from microsnot, the information is correct but no examples and, they dont tell you how you get to the final result, just the start and the finish not the tween.

I'm considering buying tS3, but I want to see how good I can get at the trial version before I make that big of a financial commitment. I must say your images are impressive to say the least. And your seem like they'd be very helpful, though I'm too inexperienced to put many of them in practice. Keep up the excellent work.

Nov 6, 1997 NAME: Marius EMAIL: troph@auste.elnet.lt LOCATION: lithuania URL: OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: hi, I checked your gallery's images, i think they're outstanding. I'm novice in animation (I'm using only truespace 3) and in lithuania there is not so many artists, so its hard to get specialized. Could you tell how long do you working with graphic, in general? Do you made any animation on truespace? Nov 6, 1997 NAME: Michael Spinella EMAIL: Mikezart@aol.com LOCATION: URL: OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Thank you for your time and tips.

I recently ordered a copy of TS3 snd I am certain they will mean more to me as I explore the program. ( It should arrive in two days via mail order). I have an extensive background in programming and 3D rendering always seemed as if it could be fun to play with. I appreciated the pictures in your site as I happen to like the theme of Fanatasy/Fiction many of them follow. All in all you did a good job. The site made me that much more anxious to explore TS3 once it arrives.

Thank you for sharing yourself with others. I am entirely new to computer graphics and am considering purchasing trueSpace, partly because of the entry price, and partly because of the quality of your art. Since I'm inexperienced, I rely on others to make helpful comments. I terms of visual impression, your art seems to speak for the capability of the software. I'm just wondering how efficient and smooth the trueSpace tools are when you're creating the models and setting up the renders. Hope you respond to my questions. Thanks.

Achim Dec 23, 1997 NAME: John Nelson, M.D. EMAIL: Docjonel@concentric.net LOCATION: Stonington, Connecticut URL: OPINION: COMMENTS: I won't pass judgement yet as I'm not qualified to do so. I recently got sucked into the apparently bottomless vortex of 3D computer graphics by the siren's song of Bryce 2 and now am ready to make the plunge into further dependency and object modelling with trueSpace. TS 2 is in Santa's bag right now and I have this sneaking suspicion I may use it as a pretext to upgrade to TS 3, even though I am a relative- heck, who am I kidding, a virtual- newbie in the 3D graphics arena. So I'll be using your tips to help get under way here on my PC when I should be out enjoying the Long Island Sound outside my window. Hmmm, guess I could go out to find objects to model and scenes to compose... This pastime definitely affects the way you look at the world, though, doesn't it? One problem, I've accessed your site via the 3d Expresso site and so don't have the address. If you'd be kind enough to mail me the web address here as my current window only shows 3dexpresso.simplenet.com/ Thanks, John Nelson, M.D. Docjonel@concentric.net Dec 23, 1997 NAME: John Nelson, M.D. EMAIL: Docjonel@concentric.net LOCATION: Stonington, CT URL: OPINION: COMMENTS: Managed to find the address here, no need to e-mail it!

And usable ones at that. I am especially thankful for you glass-making formula. I've had a hell of a time with glass... I wonder if you could give me a pointer on two problems I have run across when making .avi's: Problem #1: Sometimes, the first frame of an .avi is very badly aliased (blurry). As soon as the movie starts to play, the very next frame is fine. Do you know of this, and how to avoid it? Problem #2: I made an 83MB (yes, MB) .avi. When I play it, the movie comes out all jerky from skipped frames. This is at any size playing screen. For info (always tell the doctor everything) I am using a 200 MHz RePentium with 130MB RAM and win95. Do you know of any fix for this doggone expensive .avi? It took me TEN DAYS to render it...

I have a slight problem, I cannot do print outs of nice resolution because TS3 apparently only allows up to 72 pixels/inch after I rendered them to Photoshop4. To obtain sharp images and details we must have at least 100 pixels/inch. As I am doing this for a major deal and time is running out, please advise as soon as possible.

My only suggestion is in regards to "truespace" in your opening paragraph on the home page. I feel that it is too colorful for the rest of the paragraph. I understand that it is an effective way of creating emphasis, but it appears in three different places is one paragraph, jolting the eye everywhere. I think that if you changed the color of the regular text to the same soft yellow on this page, that they would coordinate much better than having bold color next to dull grey. chris May 13, 1998 NAME: Micah Sawyer EMAIL: Sim7@hotmail.com LOCATION: Ohio URL: non OPINION: 2 COMMENTS: I think you have just destroyed any resolve i could have possibly had to become a 3d artist.

Do not overlight space scenes! Too much light makes them look cartoonish! Remember, space is DARK! Space scenes can be lit with one or two DISTANT type lights. Make the dominant one cast ray-traces shadows with a value between .8 to 1. Orient it at an angle to your objects. Make the second non snadow-casting with a value of about .25. Orient it in opposition to the major light. Does this work? Stop by my homepage and see for yourself.

Every so often I take time to peek at those pages once more and see how the owners progress. I've been dabbling in the Truespace style of 3D imagery maybe 7-8 months with far less talent than I see here. You images are definitely worth the time to enjoy them. I love the textures in general, you use good ones and use them well, but you outdid yourself with the rowboat. I seem to recall a series of pictures like this from the LA Art Expo (which I try to visit annually to admire what I can't afford). Some Eastern Block artist, whose stuff caught my eye as soon as it came out (Yugolavia, perhaps) did this exact style of painting. Wonderful stuff. If you recreated his painting in Truespace, you did him proud. I would like to share one thing with you, not knowing how well you are tuned into the events around TS. There is a new and very inexpensive landscape plugin available from this URL. http://members.aol.com/VVVVVai/image.htm The product is called Bitmap Genesis and deserves a look. (I just ordered mine, but I also own Bryce2) Lastly, just a comment, because you put your feeling in this matter on the wire. We have great knowledge of great things, because we use the tools that have been made available. Whether we use Hubble to scan the universe, or to use the various non-intrusive methods for analysis and early detection detection antenatal problems amounts to the same thing. Your life in in the hands of the airborne and groud based radar systems every time you fly on an airliner. We live in a world where the range of our senses has been greatly expanded to enhance our chances of survival. In your case, you see this clearly, I am sure, where patients are concerned who rely on your use of such technology for their benefit. In this case you are just a little too personally involved and question the wisdom of the methods used to assure your son's optimal chances to get into this complex life in the best condition possible. Sorry, I rambled. I have a hard time expressing my thoughts in a little window that keeps slipping away. I hope that you understand what I mean to say. In fact, by now this may be all "water under the bridge". It's been a pleasure spending time at your site.

Technically amplified "touching" and "seeing" is imperative to the success of your profession, or you'd have to give up using your stethoscope too. Wish I had a two-year old to contend with :-).

They've just given tS 1.04 away on the front of a magazine here in the UK and I'm looking for guidance - hence the visit. I've used POVray in the past and I'm having real difficulty getting my head round some of the 'ways of working' of tS. I'm trying to model the new bathroom we've just had installed (something I did very easily in POV) but I can't figure out how to get a realistic looking bath or sink. I've tried starting with a cube, dividing a face and then creating the hole in the middle (nothing like realistic) Boolean's only seem to work with regular polygons so no nice rounded corners :-( I'm obviously missing something really fundamental with the way tS does things but I can't find the information I'm after.

I am a producer/director for the government at Ft Leavenworth and do a lot of digital everything (the content or matter), using Premiere, Photoshop, PSP, Cool Edit, Sawplus, Corel, Truespace, 3DStudioMAX, Painter, freeware etc... well you know, whatever happens to work out as a cool desktop tool. My time 3d wise has been spent with Truespace, mainly because I started there and the time needed to train up to MAX hasn't happened. I always tend to think first of Truespace solutions (most of my animations are flying bumpers, or virtual sets keyed in Premiere for broadcast video, so they are not super detailed or whatever). I have a question for you, just getting our TS4 upgrade last week, what do you think of it, and do you find it to be a processing hog? I, at this point feel somewhat disappointed, (I thought 3.2 was an improvement, 4.0 is really slow ). I would appreciate your thoughts on this. And by the way, I really do admire your work. How do you do find the time to do the doctoring thing and digital art as well? Perhaps you could get into a practice with Dr. Tom of www.tomshardware.com fame.

I'm starting using TS3.1, so I have a long way to go. One thing that I tried to do was to follow your tip #21. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in my animation I don't see a gradual change between texture maps. If I paint an object in frame 0 with texture A and the in last frame with texture B, all I get is texture A throught the enire animation, except for the very last frame (texture B). Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? In any case, keep up the good work. I'll be visiting your web pages more often from now on. I want to try each of your tips (except for tip #16, he he he).

I like the Modern Medecine #3 a lot - great execution, terrific message. I actually wanted to pass on a comment re "PumpkinHead". I saw your "apology" in the TSML and got a bit miffed. You don't need to apologize at all. Both the image (in the intellectual sense) and the expertise are yours, and they express something you found worthy. You say allegory, they say heresy, who cares! Just keep up the terrific work. I like the "PumpkinHead" a lot, and would be proud if I had done it myself - actually I'm envious that the symbol ocurred to you and not to me. Of course, I probably would have had a different motive for doing it, and they would have been yelling at me then (grin). Keep modeling and continue your helping contributions to the 3D milieu - I've certainly benefitted from watching your work and "listening" to you on the list.

I hope you will be updating your spage soon on lighting in TureSpace 4.0 Apr 13, 1999 NAME: Christian M. Fisher EMAIL: christian.fisher@worldnet.att.net LOCATION: New to Kansas City URL: OPINION: 2 COMMENTS: I found your web site in the new Inside TrueSpace 4 book. I am currently working on a openGL (using C language) project that allows football coaches to draw plays on the screen and have them animated. I was thinking of using Truespace to make some of the characters more realistic and import them into the program. Apr 14, 1999 NAME: Dark Dante EMAIL: darkdante4@hotmail.com LOCATION: Nowhere URL: n/a OPINION: 2 COMMENTS: Well, I must admit that I was a little disappointed. I hadn't been to your site in over a year, and none of the content has really changed. Sure, the graphical facelift of the site, but I was a little bummed that there were no new Truespace or Bryce pictures. Well, what are you gonna do, right? I'll keep checking back though.

The pumpkin image is astonishing. I was wondering if you could release some of your older scenes to the public so that they might get an idea of how some of these more complex scenes are constructed. While I doubt my artistic talent will ever equal yours, I am interested in finding out how some of the objects are constructed. Perhaps even a step by step description of how some of them came about would be in order. Thanks!

It was really nice meeting you when I was in Kansas City last month, eating at Appleby's for the 2nd time that day was most enjoyable too! I think Jim (Trinity) must have stock in the place or something. Now, if you have a minute, I'd like to discuss my cervix with you... :>) kidding. I never heard from you in regard to your upgrade. Check out ZAP, web streaming technology from TGS at www.tgs.com under free stuff or news is where you'll find it. It's included in the 4.15 patch upgrade which is free with 4.1. Looking forward to hearing from you. Jana Jun 22, 1999 NAME: Tim Koons EMAIL: vorlon0101@nls.net LOCATION: Akron Ohio URL: n/a OPINION: 1 COMMENTS: Verry cool site!!! Herry helpfull to.
