Libor Stolc - is there an English translation of your site? 2005-05-18 - By Libor Stolc
Back
Hi, Kris,
I am very pleased you are using trueSpace for architectural modelling. You
can find more information about my activities on my web site
http://web.iol.cz/pcdesign (click on Interior Design Tools). Some days ago,
I have released a new version of Interior Design Tools plugins for my Czech
customers and I hope I find some time to do English version. I think the
most interesting new plugin is for export to OPTIMIK cutting optimize
software (www.optimik.com). Today I inserted to my web site new link 'Export
to OPTIMIK' with a short 2MB video.
I have been using Delphi3 for programming of my plugins. You can find one of
my latest plugins with full source files for downloading on
http://web.iol.cz/pcdesign/srovnat_skrinky.htm It is written in Czech but I
think you could understand it because of some pictures.
Best regards,
Libor Stolc
