PS on LJ4, slooow?
Message #132283
I am having trouble sending 1+ meg PS (and EPS) files to an HP LJ4. The LJ4 has 14megs and the Postscript option. We are running Netware 3.11, 10BaseT ethernet, and the LJ4 has the Jetdirect card. Everything is normally warp-speed, except the PS files. I understand that the LJ4…

MEMORY MADNESS
Message #132261
Hi Scott, PMJI, I saw your note on adding more RAM. I'm running with 16MB and sometimes find that to be limiting . If you know what the ultimate capacity of your motherboard is (ie: 32MB), then think about 4 MB SIMMs and adding more than 16 MB. You won't…
Thanks, I'll order a copy this week and give it a try. If it works on one ET4000, it should work on any. John
John, Panacea's PanaRender driver works well with my ET4000 based board, you may have to call to find the proper setup, depending on manufacturer.
Thomas, I am an architect using Release 11c2. I have used Autoshade for several 3d rendering jobs, in which I dump multiple "walkthru" images to videotape. I just began using ARE(tm) by KETIV Technologies – This product uses a run-time Renderman engine, I understand. I may be able to help…
Hello Tom, I use AutoCad with Renderman, my interest is in architectual rendering, industrial design rendering and animations. Please specify what you are looking for.

Renderman SAVE
Message #33661
I am running a 486 system with a Trident SVGA 8900 series video card. I tried configuring the display device with the SVADI driver and used the TRIDENT driver for the rendering device with success. Save and replay are now working properly (although I don't understand why). When you say…
Thanks, sound's like the price is right. John
#Shade2/ADI rendering
Message #33570
John: Panacea's Panarender driver for Shade supports your card, for about $50. No doubt there are others… Michael
Hi Ernest, welcome to the forum. Rendering program? AutoShade w/ Autodesk RenderMan or Autodesk 3D Studio. There are others, of course, but I am slightly biased. PCX to DXF? PCX is raster, DXF is vector. Oil and water. I have no recommendations. Clip art in DXF format? Well, we in…
P., AutoCAD does not work with the XMS as provided by DOS 5.0 straight out of the box. There are two things you can do. The first is to download NEWDX.ZIP from the forum library 10 [Utilities] and run this on your ASHADE.EXE and ACAD.EXE to upgrade the Phar Lap…
#ASHADE/XMS
Message #28601
HELP!!! I have recently purchased Ashade/Rman and I can't seem to make the DOS extender work with DOS 5's XMS driver. This seems strange because AutoCAD works with XMS memory. Is this accurate?
SHADE,3DSTD & Surf Norms
Message #28387
I have a little experience with SHADE/Renderman & none with 3D Studio. I have two questions: Are either of these products sensitive to the "orientation" of surface normals? In other words, give a surface defined in 3D space, do either of these packages "care" if the surface normal is pointing…

Allan: You ought to replace the Trident VGA with an Everex or Nth 24 bit VGA card. That way, you can really see what your images will look like. Evan
#Photo-real ???
Message #22246
I am trying to go to a photorealistic hard copy from AutoSHADE 2.0 with Renderman but I'm not sure what my options are. My equipment is 386-33 Clone, 8Mb Ram, 320Mb HD, TVGA 1Mb graphics card, NEC 3D Monitor, DOS 3.3 Is it possible to obtain hard copies (8.5×11) of…
Ian: It looked like AutoShade 1 used painter's algorithm when it generated the screens, so you had to artificially divide the image into bands to send to the printer. The new version **seems** to go top down, which would simplify things considerably. If they could guarentee a top down scan…
Ashade hangup
Message #21868
Has anyone run into this before: I create a 3d model in ACAD, load the Autoshade routines in Autolisp, name and place cameras and lights, run the SCENE routine – name it, choose camera and lights and place the clapper. Then I create the filmroll file, end out of the…

#Ashade2 and RenderMAM
Message #21656
Thanks Chris, I agree, the problem for us was that the AutoShade 2 and RenderMAN manual, does not tell you a great deal about how to get the output, to color copies eg: calcomp color master, and the local calcomp office thinks there are some drivers available ! regards, Ian..

Thanks Kevin, I will go and look at the file. You are right about the bitmap page, because I was explaining to one of my colleages what it was, but I did not go further down the file to check it out. regards, Ian…
