Scharfis_Brain - Exotic Interlacing (Exotisches Interlacing)

[StainlessS]

Hi guys,

Found Scharfis_Brain "Exotic Interlacing" on Archive.org,
home site now dead, posting here so as to ensure that it dont get lost.

Original German :- https://web.archive.org/web/20140411...esInterlacing/

Or as PDF here:- http://www.mediafire.com/file/qobn3e...s_Brain%29.pdf

Also English translation :- http://www.mediafire.com/file/kkw0j7...Brain.zip/file
Best I could do a coupla years back, is web page in zip file.

EDIT: PDF and English zip also available via MediaFire in my sig below this post [in DATA folder].

EDIT: Made Englsh translation into PDF and posted in my MediaFire DATA folder (too big for attachment ~500KB): http://www.mediafire.com/file/ndfhri...English%29.pdf

Thanks for that StainlessS. The scripts are pretty old, but the reference material is really valuable. It should be made into a sticky, if it isn't already. The illustrations of various ways interlacing presents itself is worth the price of admission.

[Selur]

as a side note: LigH, hosts a backup of the german version for a few years now (https://www.ligh.de/scharfis_brain/E...esInterlacing/)

[StainlessS]

for a few years now

Perhaps LigH would like to correct any errors in my English translation (and add to his site, Google Translate is a lot better the last few years, machine translation was an impossible dream 20 or 30 years ago),
but I'm sure that there are some problems in my xlation [I corrected some of googles efforts, where it did not seem to make any sense at all, but I could have made it worse instead ].

[StainlessS]

Also converted the English translation web page into a PDF (in Mediafire DATA folder, too big for attachment)

and a couple of links and scripts, in first post [also in the eng zip on mediafire].

EDIT: English PDF had last page missing for some reason, redone and reposted.
