since you've written favourably on this CP conductor, I'd like
to ask you whether you still have the installer?

Conductor allows you to animate objects. I
used other tools to make objects and CPC to "give them life". Sony also
has their own VRML browser plugin, and their own 3D multi-user worlds.
It is a good tool for simple animations,
but I got lost in the graphical interface to routing actions. You may
understand it better than me, or I perhaps did not spend enough time
with it. But it is FREE!

I have all of them except for one, and that is the CP Conductor 2.0. This one was stored at this link:https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20050312113420/http://tecfa.unige.ch:80/pub/software/win95/multimedia/vrml/community/conductor/
However they scrapped it and since then the Conductor 2.0 has become ultra-rare software.
Despite
its limitations, it has interesting capabilities, and is the only one I
do not have in the CP family of trials. Modelling VRML worlds in Sony
style is definitely too ancient, but I’d
still like to see it in action. CP has something special to it which I
cannot explain. But currently I have no experience of its modelling
capabilities. Thus, following my failure at finding CP Conductor, I
would like to request this software from you, if you
still have it after twenty years, or if you don’t, I would like to
apologise deeply for sending this rather ‘rude’ email. There must be
something in it.
