Most welcome, Christie. Yeah, we try to stay pretty much like actual people around here… -Alan
Kevin: >> The 340 output can actually be very nice.
Dennis: Yikes! Thanks for the heads up on that one. – Bob Ritger
When you say "Chains" I am assuming you mean a 2D/3D Skeleton. If you are looking to animate a skeleton, one way (the easiest way) is to grab an "effector" and pull the chain – that is not to say that it is the only way – in fact, you…
#violin mesh needed
Message #197114
Hey, all! I'm looking for a reasonably high quality violin mesh for a test we're doing. I've checked most of the obvious places with no luck. Anyone know where I can snag one? Thanks to anyone who stops for a second and ponders this one! Greg Pyros gpyros@pyros.com
The only (successful) way Ive done it is to use Soft2DXF, and import into 3DS
>>Did you check the MARS file in the Hardware Library?
Margaret, Check a few simple things: * Ambient light level? Set it to zero and see what happens. * You've probably already done this but check the spotlight definition and make sure "Cast Shadows" is ON; "Attenuate" is OFF; and "Exclude" is OFF (gray, not red). * Try different settings…

Nik: Thanks for jumping in with all of that info. – Bob Ritger
Dan: >> The good news is that it's due out around the end of the year.
Jerome: You weasel! Didn't recognize you behind the company name. I thought it might be you from that deep baritone voice. I can think of no reason in the world why anyone with R4 C1 would want to switch to R4 C2. – Bob Ritger
Dave: You are right I should drop Ana a line. Wonder what she's up to. – Bob Ritger
Steve: Yep, I checked out that special issue but I think it fell just short of what I'm after. You are right the Tek's got high marks. – Bob Ritger
Dave: You've got me thinking about creating some personalized disks as well. Yep, I'm going to create me the greatest Ska collection ever put on disc. BIG, BIG, Monkey Man … Getting huge mofo files to service bureaus is one use for the JAZ drive which I'm looking at. Once…
Hello Angela No worries about jumping in, we need as many people as we can get huddled around the VRML campfire out here on the frontier! I've been cruising around the net downloading misc. browsers and trying them out, but real life keeps getting in the way, especially recently. I…

FSEP & FINT
Message #197090
I've downloaded FSEP.I3D and FINT.I3D. It seems to be a very useful plug-ins, but can anyone tell me how I use it? I loaded it in keyscript but it brings an error message. Thanks, Francisco.

Please see my .txt file in the Want Ads section about our new PVR specials! Then, please contact me via e-mail.. Thanks!
Margaret, Did you check that shadows were turned on in the rendering dialogue? It is possible to set up maps, shadows, etc., but have those turned off when rendering. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
Bob, The Tektronix 540 plus color laser is probably your best bet for printing on a variety of quality laser papers. The 340 output can actually be very nice. Not sure if you only saw one of the samples Tektronix sends out – unfortunately they don't seem to know the…
Hey, I only like the Tek printers because they perform! It's a dealer's dream. Good technology, good quality, good support. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
Caleb, 3DS Studio MAX is intended *only* for Windows NT. If it retains any capability to run in Win95 it'd be a he'' of a lucky fluke. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Stephen, The non-resident index remains on the hard disk and is still accessible, so there is no need to re-index the CD (since it isn't going to change). Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

I'm a student, just finishing a course in 3DStudio. For my final project (due tomorrow! Oct. 26), I created a bike & rider and merged the OldTown.3ds mesh file as my background. I placed a spotlight to cast shadows — I first played with a tutorial given to us by…
#Bogus files erase HD
Message #197078
I just read a notice of WARNING about a bogus version of (pkzip/pkunzip) PKZ300.zip and PKZ300b.exe. It states that, PKWARE says someone on the internet is distributing files under the pretext of being an upgrade to the pkzip/pkunzip file compression program. The item further states that it is NOT a…
No I don't really like it. I suppose its okay for multimedia, but not for tape.
PVR and trueSpace!
Message #197076
FYI, I just uploaded a file containing our newest limited time offers on the DPS Perception Video Recorder (PVR) and Caligari trueSpace SE/trueSpace2. (Which many people use to do great animation and ray tracing of 3D Studio and Autocad stuff.. Very reasonably priced!)
Mr. Sussman 🙂 I'd *love* to add The Sculptor to that list, but I don't currently own a copy, nor know anyone who does. The Sculptor program I'm talking about is the one produced by the folks who produced Blob Sculptor DOS. Is The Sculptor ipas available yet? Bob Weil
OK, I'll try again . Have you tried lowering the Path/Steps value? The default is 5, and can be either increased or decreased. LAM
Hello, Jason.. I don't have any information about this board and I still waiting for answer from here. By the way, how is your Video Blaster RT300? Does it good or fit you need? To me, I don't really like it!! Dennis..
