Hello all, I have three questions or problems. The first involves X-Windows. Are there any shading programs the a publically available..? I am currently using the suntool shading program that came as a demo program to render 3D polygon files. I would like to do this under X-Windows, but do not have the time to write the code myself. We are currently running X11R4 and have 13 Sun 3/60 and 3/80 machines. Please send me email of any ftp sites where I can get a copy of an X shader. Secondly, also concerning X-Windows. Are there any drivers for the Sun Taac-1 board. It is a Appilcation accelerator board which can be used to display 24-bit images. Is there an X driver that will allow me to use this 24-bit board, or am I barking up the wrong tree..? Lastly, I am looking for 3d polygon files for characters that I can render using the sun shader or the Taac-1 shader. I have been trying to use the existing sunview fonts to generate 3d poly files, with little success, and would appreciate any help, either code suggestions or the polygon files. If you have any suggestions about the above questions please send email to: james@apollo.gl.pitt.edu -or- james@unix.cis.pitt.edu Thank you for you time, Douglas James
