#197210-Aspect Ratio, PVR
Message #197222
Hi, Just from your message we created a sphere and on the top and one side we placed square boxes. The Sphere took up about 2/3's of the screen. At .9 the video looks a little bit squashed. At 1.0 it was way to long.. I use a Sony 13"…

Hi Jim, > Materials get assigned to faces but the textured vertices cary the UV coordinates. I'm not sure what your question is. :-(.. You can assign a material to a face in IPAS4 and you can modify the UV coordinates. You may wish to review.. File Info for FAX756.TXT…

#Aspect Ratio, PVR
Message #197210
The aspect ratio for the PAR is .85, because 640 divided by 752 = .85. So, the aspect ratio for the PVR should be 640 divided by 720 = .89. When I render a sphere at 720 x 480 x .89 and view it on the TV through the PVR,…

The reason for navigating by Pubs, shops, cinemas etc. is that as an old country we have honed our perception of our surroundings to the items of importance. Roads are named for far away place, old battles and corrupt politicians so they have little significance. By memorising places of use…

Raymond, I am running 3DS on a Windows 95 system and it works fine. You just run it in "MS-DOS Mode". What this means is that when you click on the 3DS icon the computer re-boots and runs in what is, essentially, DOS 7. When you leave 3DS the machine…

Soundlab w/ R1.1
Message #197186
Nik, For some reason the soundlab that came with R1.1 is practically unuseable; i.e. crashes often on both "saves" and "close" with "AUTOWAVE" error. On both prior releases it ran much better. I'm trying to understand if it is something specific to my set up, or just things that needs…

Find the accumulated rotation by concatenating the new matrix with previous keyframe rotation matrices. Convert the resulting matrix back into a quaternion.…
