that's good news about the GEM development. i've got .tga image output from vdsp going and i'm starting on the quicktime file bit this weekend. have you gotten all of the file loading stuff worked out yet? seems pretty straightforward but i'm sure i'll find a way to screw it up!

Even more good news: just got pix_movie to work! Seems kinda klunky, but I'm just trying to get things working all around, then pass back and optimize/prettify ;-)

...Anyone have an idea on when I should start a public alpha/beta? Guess it depends on me writing up a list of known problems/limitations and making a website...

as for your problem, i seem to remember only pix_movie ever working for me in the past. if i remember that's the one that does the direct glTexImg and pix_film allows pix ops...

...which is what I really wanna do! still not working, tho...

btw - do you hang out on any irc channels or the like? there's one for jmax at irc.openprojects.net #jmax that's mostly the people doing vdsp and gridflow. maybe stop by to have a chat some time...

best cgc

yeh, I should hop onto irc...just never have done it much...now on to adding particles!
