I have a working Version of Sundog, there was a special Version released way way back when that allowed it to run on the PaCifiST emulator(DOS). That same Version still runs well on STeem and WinSTon. (also I don't feel bad about using the emulator, I still have the original ROM chips [set of six] from my first 520ST sitting in the drawer of my desk.! I also have an original copy of both Dungeon Master and Sundog(so technically I still have the right to use the roms, and play the games even though I don't have the computer!) Lucky me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

..Take your avatar pic for example. Before it was pretty much a run of the mill avatar.. once I decide to rework it, the results look like this..

Yep, just something that I cropped from a picture of the back of my car. I just didn't feel like going into PoV and creating a model to make a nice image. Thanks for the image, makes a nice birthday present for me (today is my 40th).

I mentionned the art package I'm using lower in this thread, scroll down or back a few pages and you will have the answer to that question.

Yep I saw that, just wanted to know if it was one of those expensive commercial packages, I am looking for a good drawing program with a spraypaint tool to do heightfields in PoV. I don't want to pay much for a minor tool to use in a free program.
For anyone else interested the program that David is running (artgem) is shareware and available here: ArtGem Home

David, I hope you don't mind me using this avatar.

I feel somehow emotionally attached to it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

You may be interested in the GIMP (www.gimp.org). Freeware, easy to use, nice features/plugins.

Hi David

Can't help myself to honor you with the posting of my new avatar.

Would you mind if your planet pics were added to the PlanetPack?

..the little tiny planet pics in the avatars I made? I don't mind, but you might be more interested in the larger originals that I shrunk to make the avatar pics.. if yes, where should I post them?

Just a thought! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
