Thanks for the suggestions, I am more a modeler for poser and static web
images so not sure about the animations in tS yet, I have played with
the physics engine a bit I like the unexpected results LOL. Tried the IK
figures but couldn't get them to behave LOL.
I have a friend online who was selling his dePack for a reduced list
price so I just bought it from him, it seems like the best purchase for
my needs at the moment. The water simulation plug-in that you mentioned
looks really cool, and I may have to get the flash exporter, when the
funds permit it.

Hi Allan. Welcome to TrueSpace! Funny thing... I just smelled burning
toast and noticed that your email address is allan@(protected)
Anyway.. My recommendations for must-have plugins: MotionStudio by
Primitive Itch (www.primitiveitch.com). This is a replacement for
Truespace's native bones system. I have personally never seen a
complaint (only user feature
suggestions) on the forums. depak: includesMonster toolkit. This is a
collection of plugins for modelling. Also includes clothmotion, a plugin
for cloth simulation (duh :-D ), and other plugs. fxpak: another cd,
with special effects plugins. My personal favorite here is PyroCluster;
this is also a plugin for 3DS Max. PC is a volumetric fractal generator,
for creating realistic, pyroclastic clouds, fireballs, self-interacting
fog, etc. TSNET: Oh yeah. This plugin allows you the option of network
rendering. If you have a couple computers at home, get the 3 node
version. I have 2 PCs at home, and plan to get a 3rd. The latest version
allows multiple PCs to render segments of a still image, in addition to
animation rendering. raypak: another plugin pak on cd, this one is for
light modelling. anipak is good too, but personally, I only use the
dynaWave plugin, which is used for making realistic water motion, snow
drifts, etc. ipak is an excellent choice if you want to render in layers
(very important indeed!). A lot of this info is on this page:
http://caligari.com/store/Plugins/tSdefault.asp?Cate=STtSPlugins A
couple weeks ago, there was a special where you could get all 4 paks for
a special price. Maybe if you talk to Caligari they can still swing that
for you. There is also a truebones plugin, which imports motion capture
data (I think); I have not used it and have not been able to check out
the website but it is worth a look. Well, I think that's about all I can
think of. Welcome to the community! Jason
