Mech Warrior Animation?
Message #197275
Hey Marc! Thanks for the info. I guessed it to be Alias stuff. Used to work on Alias ver. 2 awhile back in my video production days. I see stuff like that and I have to shake off the feeling that I've done NOTHING in the computer graphics and animation…
#196868-Matrox Millennium 4m?
Message #197274
Mark, >>I think the video question comes from the 16 bit buffer (65K colors). That mode offers the highest video performance for the card.

I have Razor too, but found Premiere to be a bit more developed, obviously considering it's on version 4.0a. I'm waiting for my Speed Razor right now. I wanted to thank you all for try to help! Do you all have a DPS card for capture and playback?

Patricia, I have used MGA Ultima+ video cards before and haven't had a problem running resolutions up to 1152×882 with 3DS4. Your message didn't include the size and type of monitor you are using, but if you have a small monitor (14" or 15") you might be limited by it's…

Murat, you certainly can use grids. I did not need that much resolution and it was easier for me to apply two different materials to each side of the rectangle. Sam

Message #197266
I had this same problem before and went crazy. What it ended up being is that the objects having shadows cast upon had gourard shaded textures. Shadows don't appear on flat or gourard objects(unless they've updated it in r4). So make sure your textures are phong or metallic. ———-Will

Gary… A brand new product is the PLUM card. You might've seen their ad in the latest New Media. Depending on how deeply they discount it, it might be an alternative down the road. Right now it's around $5999 list, but it does include some audio capabilities. \\\. ========================= >-===–…

Dan… A real manual? OHMYGAWD! Maybe they'll even have documentation for the SCSI disk evaluater? I've come to really enjoy very graphic installations on CD, and I hope they eventually get around to that. With all that storage, they could do a beautiful tutorial on every aspect of the PVR…

Hi: Every time I try to adjust the screen size under the drop down menu "extra" it kicks out of the Animator Pro program and lists the path C:\ani\resource in large font. I suspect a poor video card but it's a Trident with a meg. Can anyone help? Johnnie

#197117-Best Printer
Message #197239
Bob, The Tek 540 *is* a continuous-tone color laser printer, but don't expect the same output as the dye-sub. The printer driver and application do need to be set properly (and right color-correction setting) for best output. Note, however, that the Tek 340 probably outsells the 540 by 30:1 -…

Have you actually looked at a PAR displayed sphere rendered to 752X480 at 0.851 AR on your monitor? While I don't have a PVR, I doubt it has the option of 640×480 output which is 1.0 AR. It would seem likely that your monitor is out of calibration. I do…
