Hi you all.

Some (long ) time ago, I found a very useful albeit hard to use utility.
It is called Patrick's Curve Generator ( named after its creator.
This program reads a list of vectors in an include file and interpolate
them to make fly through scenes or other things (the imagination is the
limit).
The original URL is dead. Does anyone know where I could find this one
again ?

Thanks

Fabien

Just so happens I have that, although guess I never really used it.
Says version 2.21 of PCG and apparently the guy was becoming a lawyer,
reason for his URL going bad? Maybe... Anyway, if you want it via
email it's 749KB, just ask.

Bob

Thanks for the thought but someone emailed me the program. Thank you all
the same.

By the way, do you know any other program that does roughly the same ?

Thanks

Yeah.  Chris Colefax's spline macro does that.  If Chris doesn't mind I will
email you a copy.

It's probably easiest if people get the current version of the Spline Macro
system from my site:

   http://www.geocities.com/ccolefax/spline

This basically counts as an 'unofficial' public release - I realised it was
getting a bit silly to email copies out to everyone who had asked for one,
and hopefully the feedback I receive from other users will motivate me
enough to create proper sample scenes/animations and more detailed technical
documentation...!
