4102.0. "Brush to Sculpt4d Scene" by SHARE::DOYLE () Tue Sep 11 1990 19:48

    I recently uploaded "Brush4db.lzh" to Tape::user2:[upload].
     It is from one of the newer fish disks (not yet available over the
    net).
     This is a shareware version of the full program.
     The program converts bitmaps to Sculpt 4d scenes to and is quick.
     There are a number of switches that allow you to modify how the brush
     is converted.
     The full version is available from the author and has no restrictions
    on the brush size.

4102.2I like it.SHARE::DOYLEMon Oct 01 1990 12:1016
     I tried it.
    	You get mixed results, the automatic coloring option is nice.
        It did an alright job with the original colors being translated
    onto the faces. 
        However this shareware version has a size limitation on the brush.
        On the larger objects, it wouldn't work at all, and on some
    slightly smaller objects it would clip the brush.
        If you register the product (I forget what he was asking). You'll 
     get a version that doesn't have a size restriction.
        Depending on how complicated the brush is, it'll still require
    touchups. 
        But I'm sure it'll be a time saver.
         Sorry I can't remember what the size restricion is.

4102.3Problems....??EEMELI::LINDENWed Oct 03 1990 04:4921
    I've run into problems using BRUSH_4D, I have done HAM & HalfBright 
    brushes using Deluxe Photolab's PAINT to cut them. The brush size that 
    I use is 78 x 48.
    
    The program states that the maximum size is 190 x 190... so even
    if I use transparency, optimation in x & y it yells that the output
    exceeds the number of 1000 faces.... The docs states that the brush
    should be 190 square pixels... and also states that the maximum face
    number could be as high as 1900.... Which is right???
    
    Assuming that the max face amount is 1000 and 1 pixel is 1 face,
    then you could have only 31 x 31 pixel brush when using HAM(every pixel 
    different color)....Correct me if I'm wrong....
    
    So if someone could tell what is the maximum brush size, it would help
    me a lot and save lots of time too.
