Welcome to Issue 22 of the Third Dimension disk magazine for 3D Construction Kit 1 and 2 users on all computer formats.Please read the CONTENTS.TXT file to see what is on this months disk! PLEASE SEND IN AN OBJECT,DATAFILE,BORDER,TIP,ROUTINE OR TUTORIAL FOR NEXT MONTHS ISSUE! Don't leave it to other members to do. This month we will take a look at Transporters.You will find a tutorial on this as well as one on sensors.There is also a tutorial on how to use strings for great text effects.Also on the disk are tutorials for the step by step kit 1 and kit 2 games plus an object design course.Another 3DKit tutorial shows you how to create curved arches for tunnels,curved (cylindrical) gas towers and posts,and also how to create hills using pyramids that you can climb up.In all a wealth of information on getting the most out of the 3D kits.I have also managed to find the FCL command list and this is included (in part) too.The datafiles on disk allow you to visit Rome,explore the curved objects tunnel routine,see a boat animated and many more! The Third Dimension diskmags can now be found on one of 17Bit software's CD ROM disks.I was quite surprised to see that my War of the Worlds game has also been placed on the Amiga/PC Sci-Fi Sensation CD ROM disk. I will be appearing on Channel 4's 'Big Breakfast' morning TV program sometime between 29th January to the 8th feb.So if you're an early riser,watch out for it. If you are new to this diskmag then please note that you need either 3D Construction kit 1 or 2 to be able to view the datafiles on this disk.Details of where to get this is mentioned further below.To see what can be achieved why not purchase one of the many disks listed in the Third dimension PD library section that are available for all computer formats.Alternatively,try the Amiga-VR-PIANO,VR-CITY,VR-DRUMS disk available from most good Amiga PD libraries and the Third Dimension PD library. You should have at the very least,version 2.09 of 3D kit 2 for the Atari and Amiga.PC users should have version 2.11.To find out your kit version,load up kit 2 then look in the ABOUT pull down menu.Mandy Rodrigues can supply you with the very latest version providing that you send a SSAE and your old kit disk.Mandy can also provide back issues of the kit newsletters at 2 pounds each.
