It seems unusual... but it looks like he was working for this company from at least 1998-2002. Is he still there?

Greg Gorby
Manager of Research and Development
Mr. Greg Gorby has recently been promoted to Manager of Research and Development.
Greg has been associated with SCI since June, 1998. His experience and creativity have been put to task in carving, information services and product development. Greg brings to the company and our customers a lifetime of experience in color, sculpture, mold making, and computer programming.
Greg holds a BFA degree from Kent State University, and taught fine art at the University of Miami in Florida. His unusual education included four years of math and physics, making him an oddity in the art department.
This blend of science and art serves him well, helping him solve problems through analytical reasoning tempered with an astute aesthetic sense. His skills include technical writing, having written several software manuals. His computer programming experience includes writing and bringing to market a full featured 3D rendering software package.
With Greg's help, we anticipate advances in both our colors and our production process. Congratulations, Greg!

I went over to his house a few times back in the 90's and saw him working on Draw 4D and
Aladdin 4D. I'll try again today. Sorry

Very nice, please try again. It would be so nice to talk with Greg Gorby the original creator of Aladdin 4D. His thoughts and wisdom would be exciting to know.

Maybe you would have better luck using a different kind of bait?
I don't know if it is Gorby season or not where you are, but there are very stiff penalties for Gorby hunting outside the posted dates:crazy:
Sorry, I was biting my tongue for SOOOO long trying to keep that back that I had to either let it out or POP!

The only way the Hunt will ever succeed is if they hire Jack Ryan.
(Sorry, you weren't the only one itchin' to "POP." ;)

Whoever wins the Greg Gorby hunt and finds him wins a free Aladdin 4D after Greg contacts us or we have a way to reach him.

Is he the inventor of these? :)

@bloodline
Very funny!

The last time I saw Greg Gorby he was with Carmen Sandiego. :D

Hey, Pyro, if you're looking for possible expansions, I'd be more than happy to give you a list of things to add to make Aladdin4D more robust. ;) Personally, I'd really love to see Sub-D surfaces and joint controls for animations, but that's just me. But I do love some of the dynamic effects I've played with in Aladdin more than in Maya. Much easier to use.

Looks like you might be able to find/contact him here:

Thanx Methuselas, we would be interested in any suggestions for improvements you have and we would pass them along to DiscreetFX Labs.
