But you are expecting to deliver MA3 right, which is your baby, even though it's delivery is late?

Encore has been trying to do a C-Section for some time now!

Jim Sachs · 06-26-2008, 11:11 PM

After 8 years of gestation, maybe it's too big to come out.

Cuddlywolf · 07-02-2008, 10:30 PM

That would be one BIG baby

Happy and safe 4th to everyone.

I'd start working on the holographic version now!

Check back every few months in hope... we can all hope.

Hard to believe MA is coming up on 10 year anniversary.

Derrek · 07-07-2008, 09:09 AM

Any updates on the progress of MA3?

henemly · 07-07-2008, 12:26 PM

I'd venture to say at least a few more months...

Jim Sachs · 07-07-2008, 05:04 PM

Working...

Hi all . I'm new here. Just got Marine Aquarium about half hour ago and have to say im quite impressed . Have seen Dream Aquarium too and it does seem to have a few more features than MA 2.6 .

patscarr · 07-09-2008, 05:10 AM

Welcome to the forum, Lisa. Glad you like 2.6. Wait until you see 3.0!
Yes, we all love Dream Aquarium around here too.

Marian Nichols · 07-12-2008, 04:42 AM

The site been down a couple of days, so this is my first opportunity to welcome you also. As good as 2.6 is, 3.0 will be a masterpiece,

cohiba420 · 07-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Just wondering if there's any more news to report? My "MA 3.0" senses are tingling... :-)

enigma63941 · 07-16-2008, 07:58 PM

The news would be that the as of today release of MA 3.0 is closer rather than later

Jim Sachs · 07-16-2008, 11:01 PM

Still struggling with collision-avoidance. The fish-to-background avoidance is pretty good, but the fish-to-fish detection still needs work.

I've had to rethink my whole collision-avoidance scheme. The better the fish got at avoiding the background, the less realistic their movement was becoming. So, fo the last few nights, I've been walking around my cluttered house with my eyes closed, trying to figure out what mental algorithm I need to use to avoid objects.

The Beta testers are chosen by Morgan from Forum members who have been around for about 8 years.

Hello Jim,

It is good to be back here and able to be a part of another masterpiece of computer animation. I've battled some health issue's and currently feel strong enough to get out and start over with my life. There are many friends I haven't seen in awhile and many things I used to do like being a part of this forum that I want to start up again. I would have loved to be a part of the beta program but unfortunately I still have about two more years to go before I reach 8 years with this forum.

Morgan can put me on the list for the MA4 beta where it goes holographic and requires 1Gb of ram on the video card to run

. Jim, those shots of the background look amazingly realistic compared to the 2D background. It looks like things are coming along very nicely so far. It is definitely going to be a great day when my wife and I get to enjoy the new aquarium on our 50 inch HDTV. It'll definitely be on when guests come over for dinner as I have done many times with the current aquarium. Best of luck and my prayers for you and your team so that all goes well with the completion and launch of MA3.

Wizwad · 07-17-2008, 05:36 AM

Kona - welcome back.

Now when are you going to settle down and marry that girl?

patscarr · 07-17-2008, 05:52 AM

Good to hear from you again, kona. Hope you're feeling better.

nicksteel · 07-17-2008, 06:12 AM

I have a large quantitiy of photos of the house we're building and need to create a CD or DVD to document it from bare ground to finished. I'm hunting a program that will allow picture by picture control with a remote, not an automated slide show or MPG "movie".
