I have been following the mail you have been forwarding on the discussions Paul and John have been having on the problems with doing the 3DS exports from R13 C3 to 3D studio. I have had a problem since the C3 patch came out, I am not sure if it…

#ATI Pro Turbo/3DS4
Message #197168
Anyone out there with an ATI Pro Turbo Card? The Vibrant drivers crash if you try to run it above 75Hz, and ATI's recommended Panacea drivers only allow 256 colors in the Materials editor. SIGH.
Thanks- I have never been thrilled with 3D Studio's DXF reader, and even when it works, you don't get mapping coordinates, but that may be the only way. But it seems like somewhere, in this big ol' world, there must be a better way… -Mike
Lee: Thanx, I will check that. Murat
Morpheus: Alan is right about AI/DXF, you don't get curves with DXF. If you prefer german, you can e-mail me, 'cause I'm in Germany. Or maybe turkish, but I don't expect you speaking turkish, or do you??? Murat
Mike, I'm interested too… – Steve Ormonde
#Vertex material Assign
Message #197163
Hi Jonas, I am curious as to whether the IPAS 4 toolkit provides me with a method by which I might assign materials to vertices, then have them interpolated across the respective faces( in a PXP). It is essential to our project that we be able to accomplish this. Will…

Martin Thank you again for sending me your ENT TOOLS. I was wondering if you might be interested in working with me to bring to life some ideas I have for IPAS routines. I don't have near enough programing ability to work on these myself ( I still have trouble…

Hi Dennis, Ditto on thanks for the warning. One question: where did you read this warning? I am tempted to post a news flash, so that the greatest number of people have the opportunity to be informed, but I would like to be able to quote my (your) source. TIA…
Stephen, If this is taking too much time, then feel free to say so and we can discontinue this conversation. I understand if you need to spend your time on others things. I am assuming that you believe that a prj file is not necessary, is this right?. If there…
Dave, Are you telling me to forget the "type on call" as it would not be compatible with 3DS? I do not use WP programs as home, nor at work if I can help it.. My only use for FONTS are ANI PRO and 3ds..so if they are not compatible…

#DPS PHONE?
Message #197138
Anyone know how I can get a hold of some kind of tech support from DPS? The BBS isn't very good, and the phone numbers that are listed in the adds don't get you to anything but a recording. Any other phone numbers?

#Playing Flics
Message #197135
Hello Dave, You seem to know a thing or two about things autodesk, so I hope you can help out with this query. We are trying to play 3DS Flics from software using Delphi, but the DLL we are using at present brings up an Autodesk message at the start…

Can anyone tell me where to get the correct DLL to play back Flic animations from software, without the Autodesk copyright message coming up on screen? Regards
I am actually trying to explain how a Linear Induction Motor in new meg-lev style trains operates. It is basically as if the stator and rotor of a standard electric motor are sliced on one end and then rolled flat. I am not sure how to do this and have…
Thanks for the advice. How exactly did you add this "noise" to simulate motion? It sounds like it may be useful. What I am actually trying to do is show the cylinder with a split in it rolling itself out into a flat sheet. It sounds like it may be…

3D Studio to QTVR
Message #197124
Let me jump in and second his request. The company that I work at is very interested. And for once, the Mac platform has the jump and the people at work using Strata are already cranking out stuff. Surround sounds interesting too. Of course what could be done in the…
3d studio to QTVR
Message #197123
Dave, Hopefully I'm not the only person to bug you with this question. Do you know how to get 3D Studio to map an environment to the interior of a cyclinder for use in QuickTime VR applications. This would also be usefull, I believe, for Microsoft's Surround Video technology as…

Stick with .AI export from Corel, Christie. DXF is just not usable. Bring your .AI files in with a minimun line weight, no fill, and when it's in do a select all and then do a modify/vertex/weld/selected to close those "open" polygons. -Alan
