3D studio bug.
Message #197013
I have foudn a bug in 3D Studio when saving GIF images. Sometimes the routines of 3DS for saving GIF images bugs and the last line or two last lines of the image are scratch. I have try to show them with QPEG,Adobe Photoshop,Alchemy …etc some of this programm doesn't…
Bob: Kevin Krell should have some very good thoughts on the subject, though we all know how partial he is to Tektronix. You also might try emailing Ana (since I haven't seen here around here since the great NT-Wars of '95), as she and Jesus have mucho experience in that…
GO RATES for all CompuServe rate info! Dave
Roger ran all the color xeroxes for last year's invite at his office, and HE didn't get an invite then. This year, mine was addressed just to me, not me and Laurie. Steve has blamed both items on Karen. I'd say not getting an invite is a direct challenge for…

While overall, I liked the "farmhouse" ad, it's use to promote the program to architects and engineers seemed (and still does) somewhat problematic. Dave
The HP literature says it comes with Easy-CD Audio, for making custom audio CD's. I've got a few things (like those two XTC-demo tapes I sent you) that are on cassette-only formats. That bothers me, as audio tape is an even dicier proposition than data tape! I'd like to set…
Yes — you cannot use any file transfer software (like LapLink) through the parallel port that your dongle is connected to. You'll either have to use the LapLink serial cable, add a second parallel port or remove the dongle. Dave
Ed: I'm still writing a book about 3D Animation and had to describe a couple of different programs. One of them was Real 3D, that allows physical Animation. I do only have the demo of Keyfactory and don't know of DMM, could you tell me about? I must admit that…

James: Thanks a lot for that tip. Sounds more like a workaround then a function. Hope I can help you sometime, too. Murat

The board still works perfectly w/ R3. I'm actually loading the RDPADI from R4 and it's still only working from R3. I was however, unaware of a vibrant driver for the Targa+. I'll go ahead and try that. Steven Thompson
Hi Sam, > Since a .gif file is a bitmap file, please see pg. 3-42 in the 3DS Ref Manual for a list of all possible uses of bitmaps within 3DS. I'm assuming that you may want to use the .gif so that you can trace over it in the…

You can use a convertor product form 4DVISION called ProStudio which will convert SLA STL files to 3DS files. Scot 4DVISION -4DVISION
> James, I don't have the Matrox card but I experienced a simular problem with my ATI Ultra Graphics Pro during a RAM upgrade. The fix was setting my video memory above my physical RAM. There is a nice little utility with the Mach32 drivers that allowed me to define…
#Lines in Editor
Message #196992
Help, All of a sudden I have periodic "spurious?" lines running across the viewports in the Editor and the Keyframer. The lines are not signal interference of any kind. They seem to be generated from the meshes themselves. They appear in any number of situations such as after a bolean…
Keybrd Contrld Switcher
Message #196991
I just installed a new Rose Electronics "ServeView" Keyboard Controlled Switcher. I am impressed with the quality of this product, the documentation is excellent and installation is a breeze. I work on four computers at the same time and desk space became an increasing issue. Another reason I tried out…
That number should work fine. I really suggest that everyone verify their registration information with Adesk. This is good not only for 3DSurfer but also for future programs. jonas[adesk]
Hi Alex, Sorry, but I only leave my cubicle once a year to go to Siggraph. jonas[adesk]

#hardware lock no laplink
Message #196986
Is there a problem using laplink software and the 3ds4 hardware lock? I transfer files from the desktop pc to the laptop through the same parallel port where the hardware lock is installed. However, with the lock in place no connection between the 2 computers is made. When I remove…
Until 3DS MAX comes out with its multi-threaded capabilities you will be stuck in DOS which is not a multi tasking environment. Until then you are S.O.L. The good news is that it's due out around the end of the year. That will give you a couple months to learn.…
PMFJI I saw you were checking out our VRML support on NAVFlyer. I would be very interested for some feedback, if you could email me your phone number I would like to chat for a few minutes. Of course performance speeds are at the top of my list. We have…
>> My case is probably a fluke
>> Are you saying that the only way to consistently keep sound and video tied together is to use a joint lossy playback AVI. If so, I think that we are in trouble because the quality of the lossy codecs is not useable for my needs.
yep. Adobe's pulled a number of questionable stunts this year… their new encrypted filters also made them incompatible with AStudio's filter ink. 🙁 -dave
And the check is in the mail…… > All good news, we are so hard on good products, the slightest flaw and we pounce! But then again it's only to make them better, so everybody wins in the long run. Ciao Bob Kohl. -Bob Kohl

Stephen, Also in the 3ds.set file is shading mode, antialiasing and pixel size. but ha, I'm easy(don't tell my wife)if this is what Dave wants to do its Ok with me. What do you think Dave? Regards…………Rick – Technical Animations
John… We didn't have any problem DL'g them from DPS's BBS. Remember the files are bigger than a single floppy, so you have to DL them to your HDD. DPS will release the NT drivers eventually on a two-disk set with a full installation scheme. That's probably in the v.2.03's…
Alex – No way to know who downloads library files! The CIS software doesn't track that information. Anne
Thanks. Yea, a little Flame action, a little Vapor action, a little Glow & Smoke, a dash of Spirits (new little alcohol IPAS I've been working on).
Not too bad; our weather flythrus are beginning to pick up. It's good to see ya here on the forum. Anything new up your way?
Terry Do you happen to have the # for Model Master's on-line service? Gary
John Sounds as if you own the Ketiv CD….. does the collection include a 3ds mesh for a high wing light plane(such as a Cessna)? I thought there was one shown as part of the magazine ad? Any help is appreciated
mike could you also include me for a mail out of sxp's…Gary
Lee: VistaPro is published by Virtual Reality Labs, Inc., who can be found in the Graphics A Vendors forum (GO VRLI). VistaPro does not generate landscapes (other than fractal ones) but it is most often used to render images of landscapes. VistaPro's DEM (digital elevation model) landscapes can be saved…

Hi Jonas, Aleksey has already contacted DarrelA and there were some snaggs to this issue. I'm not sure who's court the ball died in.
The people you probably need to speak with are Darrel and Jeff Anderson (BRAID) the cis number is: 73637,723
We've set up a 900 number with carefully selected (sexy voiced) females to answer all your questions. Note that we had originally intended to call this IPAS "Artsey Fartsey Tools" but we didn't want to step on any toes a Xaos. "We are not about sales, we are about ART!"
James, you're a genious!
Let me go walk through it and I will send a detailed report. It happens for me every time.
Requires that your customer supply a valid credit card number.
