Hi there! I reposted Kathy Cochran's request to the VRASP mailing list. VRASP stands for Virtual Reality Students and Professionals, and almost everyone on the list uses IBM-based "walkthrough" programs. This is what they have had to say so far: ********** Virtus. It's cheap and easy. When you add a symbols library, you go up a big notch in price. Without a math coprocessor, tell her to find something engaging to do while waiting hours for renderings. ********** Hi There: Yes there is! The name is 3D- Studio. I live pretty much in the MAF. You can see me there. Price~$600. Sincerely, Marwan Fathallah [log in to unmask] ********** Hi, I would suggest "Virtus Walkthrough" available for the Mac and IBM. The program is inexpensive and easy to learn. It does have limitations in that it is slow when you create a path through it but you can get around that by making a "quicktime" running version. Anyway, I have done some modeling using virtus and I was happy with it other than the speed. It is not as precise as most of the 3-D CAD systems available. Virtus does have a nice library of items to choose from and you can resize them. The newer version offers texture mapping. Anyway, it is a good start at around $200-300 versus investing in a 3-D modeling program that takes a lot more memory than your friend has available. You can create rooms at any height and do your own vaulted ceiling with a little practice.... Sharon Davison ********** Susan Jacobson
