Back to the fold!

Post by awsumandy »

I started using trueSpace 2.0 in 95 to successfully 'sell' a multi million dollar project to senior management at the company I was working for at the the time. I hadn't used it since until this weekend when my girlfriend needed help designing her kitchen. I'm amazed at how much I still remember. (Sadly I've forgotten a lot too, such as how to move axes on an object and animate cameras etc.) I'm currently using truespace 3.0 and have ordered a couple of books that I used to own. Thankfully, there are lots of tutorials out there, but are mainly for 7.6 which is a little too icon rich for me. (model side works for me though).
Anybody know where I can download user manuals for the old versions? (2 and 3) as these versions are pretty much perfect for my needs. Glad to see there are still active forums on this program!

I have a paper manual for TS 3. I'll send it to you if you pay shipping.

I also have paper manuals for TS 5 and 7. Anyone want them?

I have migrated to Blender and I'm glad I did but I'm happy to see that TS is still used.

You won the TS3 lottery! Manual, CD, and box. The license says it is ok to transfer it as long as the whole thing is transferred and I keep no copies. There you are: A full, legal, copy of TS3.

Busy for a week or more but I'll work with you soon to mail it.

Uh oh. Looks like I've neglected Andy.

I intended to repackage it with just the TS3 things to make shipping cheaper. Now I'm going to do that but I don't know where it is! It is strange. It's not in any reasonable place I would have put it. When I find it I will send it to you. I apologize for the delay.

Maybe this strange disappearance should be posted in Pugman's ghost thread. "Ghosts hid my trueSpace".

I am pretty sure 3.0 had 2 or 3 updates after the release. ( 3.1 and 3.2 patch) Did you send him those also?
If not I have them to send.
tS3 was always my favorite however I do enjoy the latest one.

Andy, Make sure to come by often your always welcome here.

Found it. Of course it was in an obvious place. Will send soon.

@Steinie I don't have updates.
