Ok, so we have enough color messing in the industry now and then these guys come with even more confussion Seriously, It think that I have read about this in Publish. My question is, do really magazines and low cost periodicals "win" something with this method? Will the gain justify…
Dave, I just have a bad experience with ATI drivers, specially in Windows. Anyway, it seems that both of us will find the nirvanna 🙂 ana /krazy images
John, I really hope that they finally go for DynaView. The thing about an Universal NT 3d viewer is nice, but since 3ds will not be able to interact with it, it seems worthless (for now 🙂 I think is a step in the right direction. One more question… how…
Ara, I don't have experience with the Viper. However, it seems that there is a problem using a PCI setup and Vibrant drivers. I think that Gus Grubba has a Viper in his new DEC XL and he is having problems with it. Someother people also points in the same…
I'm sure that John T. will help you to clear this up. John? John? What do you say about perfect driver support? ana /krazy images
I think (but probably I'm wrong) that Techex only distribute Truevision, no Matrox. They have central offices in Germany, with offices arround Europe. They distribution net includes Spain, but I'm not sure about Pavel's country. Great help, uhn?
The future of TIE! let Lucas know that I put all my equipment for their renderings if they need too (of course, send me a beta!) But seriously, it seems that there are problems with the inline drivers and the PCI bus. Vibrant is working on drivers for some boards…
Dave, No, I have to say that I'm not so sophisticated with our printing work, sorry 🙂 We have not reach any client interested in any other process that traditional CMYK and that is the space we are working. However, I would like to know more about that process. I…
Ang, Maybe my words will not be so true in a couple of months. Give enough time to the Kodak gang… 🙂 ana /krazy images
Well, got it. Know, how I can get my Wacom to do that? Sincerelly, I don't know what are you talking about. This tablets have two years and no ink blots yet 🙂 Maybe I forget to attach a Rotring pen to the stylus? Just kidding, Karen. ana /krazy images
Well, probably they won't let you to buy in the US or in Canada. Some companies don't allow their products to be exported out of the US (I hope that you will find a dealer here in CIS) Good luck! ana /krazy images
I am sure that the MGA2 is an awesome board. I can live without the Z-buffer… (now I'm sure that I will buy the MGA2 and someone will jump in with the Dynaview drivers for 3ds! 🙂 ana /krazy images
Those are great news. I will wait until early Frebuary. I most probably will go with the MGA2. Regarding ATI… well, I won't get another ATI even if you pay for it ana /krazy images
Daniel, Let's get it straight 🙂 You will never get the same color, bright and contrast of your monitor in print. Well, at least not by saving a TGA file and dumping it to film. If you want to preview in your monitor something that aproximates the final output, you…
Why not contact Matrox in Europe? Matrox U.K. Phone# 0793 614 002 Fax# 0793 614 336 Matrox France Phone# (1) 45 60 62 00 Fax# (1) 45 60 62 05 They should point you in the right direction. ana /krazy images
Yes, that's what I know about it. So, are you going PCI or you will wait a few months? We have bought DEC XLs (one for 3ds, one for printing) with PCI buses. We have bought them _without_ video because we want to add a Matrox MGA-2 PCI. They will…
That sounds better, John. Right now, we need something in the "high-end graphics market" range 🙂 so we are heading to the MGA2. However, will wait until February. Could you tell me if they will come with all the other MGA features?
You really know how to make parties. If things continue that way, I will probably move to California (but will be back to Miami at August— I want to be here for the next Andrew!) All kidding. Glad to hear that you are ok.
They said that one more is probably coming up. Hope that they are wrong. We have had minor 4.0 ritcher in south spain this X-mas, but they were fast, no one minute shakings there. Glad to hear that all of you seem to be ok! 🙂
Will be available for both platforms at the same time. Jump to the Ultimedia Forum or COMART to get some tech specs on the 3d painting system.
It seems that there is no problem with the PCI bus– just with some PCI graphics boards and 3ds inline drivers. You should check your options if you are going to use PCI video. There us no problem with PCI or any other bus and 3ds, just with what you…
I thought they have the same 64 bit chip as the MGA. In fact, I thought they where the same card but in a PCI versions. Could you (or Alain) be more specific about this. I have recieved lot of interesting Matrox literature, but they only include the MGA-2 prices,…
nice. Any chance of getting new bidirectional enabled keys or should I buy an old LPT board an put it in an ISA slot that I don't have 🙂 ana /krazy images
Excuse my english, but could you clarify me the "ink blops" concept. ana /krazy images
I'm sure that they will go PCI. Specially with the upcoming Truevision DVR demons breaking in PCI land. Most probably I will buy an MGA2 for the PCI bus (offers? 🙂 Do this boards support Z-buffer. I won't use AutoCAD or Microstation, but I want to be ready for whatever…
Thanks Alain! ana /krazy images
David, I'm sure Mark is pretty busy with X3. Last months his rate of answer was about 1 week. You can contact also Karen, which is moreless a regular in the Comart forum, althought she don't write unless you say the magic words ("hey Karen, could you help me with…
hahaha! At last a real enemy, a Summa defender Karl, 🙂 I have to be honest. I don't know about the III models. However, the II have no application in the arts. I have see reviews about the Summa III but all of them applied to the CAD field, which…
I agree with all you boys and girls that the game and educative market is a BIIIG cake for all of us, electronic artists 🙂 Indeed, a natural market for computer graphics. As an artist and gamer myself, can't stop of thinking in new ideas to apply new technology and…
I hope they include then the DEC PCI SCSI-2. BTW, any plans to go PCI for the MAX?
Summa Vade Retro! ana /krazy images
I am looking to visit Orlando again but I will wait 'till Siggraph. The Kurta 12×12 is expensive althought less than the Wacom SD-422. I think that the Wacoms are the most expensive tablets in the market, but they are all good. The Kurta is a nice tablet, but in…
The Wacom offer is nice. Lot of people I know are going that way. Sincerelly, the Wacom is a really awesome board. ana /krazy images
I would love to start a discussion about the richness of food in Greece vs. Spain vs. your Grandma vs. my Grandma vs. my mom vs. myself vs. Martin Foster's fish and chips BUT until I recieve your ZIP file about the PAR I wouldn't say a word about it…
Thanks! ana /krazy images
Hey Gus, that's great! I will get two of this babies the 18th. Talking about babies, congrats for your new kiddie! Seems that you have got the best present for this xmas (little late, but the best! 🙂 ana /krazy images ps.The Gateway comment was really fun (at least for…
You could use any Photoshop or Photostyler compatible filters with Painter, so you have Aldus, Adobe and KAI plug ins to choose from (a batch-like feature will be available in X3). It have a pretty good number of spectacular and dramatic effects by itself and more than the basic general…
Ang, So, do you have to get an Adaptec to run the thing? ana /krazy images ps.eoh! eoh! Alain, where are you Alain? 🙂
Thanks Gus. Got it 🙂 I just get a little confused with the word. I just expected something like two adapters working together or one of those twin channel adapters, like the IDA-2 or the high end adaptecs. ana /krazy images
We test the XGT and found better the Wacoms' feelings (well, the Kurta was connected just to Lumena, I tried the Wacom with a Harry :). Ah sales people! Just come to FL. someday and I will show you how they run all the software you want and more! What…
Yes, I hear the name and I like it. Ah, the beauty of Europe1 I will be the 15 in FL. and I will miss this old piece of land 🙁 Geneva, Montecarlo, Madrid… ah! (hehe, I can see all your faces now 😉 Greece, uhn? Niiiiice country. Great people,…

Message #73759
Hello everybody, An Old Year is dying and a New Year is coming fast. For many of us, these are sad and happy days. People leave. People come. Each morning, we try to make sense of our lifes. In a neverending rite, millions of people hear the call of the…
Dave, The Matrox is superior to the ATI. In fact, you can't compare with the ATI. Superior design and superior drivers. ATIs (we have one) are in a permanent bug. The VFW drivers are nice, but that's all- The MGAs are probably the most outstanding boards in the market. Is…

Message #73377
Undoubtly, John, when it comes to print, 3ds is not the best way to go. The major advantage of a specialized printing enviroment is not only the postprocessing capabilities but the color control for a different color space. Of course, you can take color as seriously as you want or…

With closed eyes: get the Matrox. 🙂 ana /krazy images
Greg, Could you send me info about the PAR by e-mail? Thanks and happy holidays! ana /krazy images
Yes Florida will be the point! you will like that book, Alexander, it's impressive (BTW, why don't go to Art Futura? It's Barcelona, not too far from Zurich -well, not as far as Florida-) Happy krazydays for you too! ana /krazy images
Yes Gus, I agree with you in most things. I didn't mean that a slowest bus will be better because of the added features and easy of use. I just try to point out that, being PCI and VLB moreless in the same speed range, people (makers and consumers) will…
Hey Alexander! You are lucky to be in Europe in February. I have the docs of this year show and it seems that will be even more impressive than last year. However, argh!, we will not go to this edition. Ah, Monaco, le hotel de Paris, le Casino… That's life…
Gus, Don't you think that VLB is also doomed? I mean, PCI have some clear advantages over VLB: 1)It's autoconfigurable 2)It's as cheap as VLB 3)It's processor independent. At least, that's what all the people say With all the major crowd taking the PCI as the standard for their PCs,…
