Brick Eksten tolde me a couple of days ago they where just about ready and would be available in the next couple of weeks.
Well I am not the only one seeing this, although it is not an operational problem evrything works ok. It has to be somewhere in the MCI drivers, because the PARDRVP works. So if Brick Eksten moves along maybe he has something to say about that. Christophe
I have got the PARDRVP running with MCI drivers. I reinstalled the PAR software, it seems probably something in the PAR.INI was wrong???? Because batch file and windows where all OK. One problem however we keep getting NTSC speeds in PAR configure under windows although it runs with PARDRVP and…
In the meantime it seems to be 1.0d as Jamie told me.
If I have the PARDRVP for PAL active Windows does not see the MCI drivers uploaded here this week???? If I however use the PARDRV for NTSCS with my PAL board everything uptil now seems to work even the MCI drivers under windows???? Do I need specific PAL MCI drivers?????…
#PAR/MCI … (Razor)
Message #160286
I just downloaded the PAR MCI drivers and have the following inquiries: I am in PAL land and I have for PAR startup: PARDRVP.EXE loaded, however MCI driver does not recognise this specific PAL driver. I then changed my startup and started with the regular PARDRV.EXE so not the PAL…

I'll give the setting a try. Christophe
Oh noise with my SONY is LOW (until I got a sudden grun, which made it die on me, it is in repair at this time), however noise of my SEAGATE barracuda outperformance any other device I have. It's like an airplane taking of, well one can wonder one is…
I haven't got the C1 Patch yet, however problem seems to be with ACAD. I can export 3DS files from ACAD with regions and with ACIS entities without a problem. But as soon as I do it with files that where originally started with R12 and converted to R13 it…
#ACAD13 to 3DS4
Message #159373
I'm having big troubles with exporting to 3DS4 from ACAD13 I did some test 3 weeks ago by reading in small files from 3DS in ACAD like x29.3ds no problem edited in ACAD and saved to 3DS again with no problem. Even some simple ACIS entities exported flawlessly. So I…

#Razor Pro wanted
Message #159261
I'm looking for any dealer US, that can get me the last version of Razor Pro for use with PAR, if possible with MCI drivers from DPS. With the dollar so low I'm seriously considering buying abroad, for instance I can get a Monterey card for less then half price…
I have a 128 Sony MO external, just to add this it makes a hell of a difference how you connect your device to your PC. First I had a Trantor MiniSCSIPlus T348 parallel port SCSI2 connector, I then changed over to an Internal PCI-Fast SCSI2 Adaptec 2940A, and I…
For architectural use, the best CD-ROM I have found until know was the one by Ketiv Technologies, containing models, and maps, however you will probably always lack some materials, but it is a useful one, I'm awaiting the texture universe CD-ROM. Christophe Van Oyen
I've done this a couple of times before using MO128, transfer was done on the MAC, reading the IBM formatted MO, through PCaccess on the MAC, I transferred flawlessly TIFF files and QXD, quarkxpress files. Only thing to keep in mind, do not use compression on the TIF file, save…
One pamphlet coming up……
Thanks for the info
Just to add this, where is SIGGRAPH this year, if the dollar stays low until then I might drop in once. Christophe
Jonas > I was to late for SIGGRAPH last year however I sure will submit this year, probably some PAR animation, and some still images. Christophe,
Wow you must be kidding???? Maybe you should do a recount, I guess you maybe might underestimating yourself?????? 🙂 BTW are you intrested in my promotional pamphlet of my work I would be glad to provide one…… Christophe
I guess you are right with what you said, but for PAL DPS recommends 300 BLF and I use 302, however I seem to be able to fill up the drive to 1.2GB at that compression rate, which amounts to about 6 minutes of video, and that will be enough.…
The 4221AV is an SCSI drive or not, you can not use SCSI drives at this time and for the moment we are stuck with 3drives usable Micropolis 2210A and 2217A Conner I forgot which one, although new drives will probably be supported in the coming months at least some…
Yes Robert you are right I figured that out, after the join I copy the two segements I joined to another harddrive and I then do an optimize after that the animations paly OK. So my problem is solved, so to me it appears one can only use 1.1 to…

Hello Danny, Well it all started as a hobby but it is slowly getting more then that. I regulary do still images for others although we have a good working architectural bureau ourselves. I heard of TRIX but do not know anyone, and I only work at the desktop level…
Great, Well I'm visiting this forum for nearly 2 years know and it is the forum I visit most on Cserve. I have 2.5 years 3DS experience, and use it mainly for architecture. I'm 28, I've just finished a promotional folder for creating Photorealistic Images and animations for others mainly…
Theo, I tried to resimulate the problem but had no luck, I still work without any problem. Christophe
>>The problem is solved.. Hope you like the PAL/NTSC installation also, we did that just for you

Rotoscoping advice PAR
Message #154618
I had to interrupt a animation using rotoscoping from the PAR and I want to restart 3DS rendering. If I restart at frame 155 will I need to modify the IFL that read the captured video from the PAR??? Or will the PAR start at frame 155 of the captured…
I've seen it wot-rk but not in 3DS, and it seems a great card. It will probably be supported soon for 3DS.
Emmanuel, I only had it the first time I played back in slow motion (since installing 1.50), it never again afterwards and I played back probably 20 times already since then. Christophe
Bug message file filesize = xxxxxxxb, That is the only bug I found so far, but it is a harmless one, and I only had it once although doing a lot of slow motions. I'm getting my DAT this week got an HP C1533A, will test backups and restores then.…
Just to let you know Alan, GRANITE is the perfect map for what I intended. And saves me from using reflection maps, for rendering on 1 machine, otherwise I could not finish on time? Christophe
haven't had that mine works perfect Seems to be something conflicting in my opinion
BELGIUM UP, at least we are 3 know regulary visiting this forum Christophe Van Oyen Brugge
Thanks for your great support, have installed it already and looks great hope the backup problem is solved will check that next week. Christophe
Jonas, Just to tell you I had exactly the same problem with a TGA file I edited in Photoshop adding some text. This happened 4 months ago Afterward the file had shifted one or two lines in the fade composition. Christophe
I also have a Miro to be precise I have a Crystal 32S I use the Metheus premier drivers from the vibrant list for about 1 year know and never had any problem with it for the PAR. You could also use some of the s3 drivers or try some…
#Metal Panels Architectur
Message #152632
I'm in need of a rendering friendly solution for the creation of a Aluminium colored metal panels. Anyone familiar with architecture, the panels are square (cassette system), like the ones mostly used by arch.Richard Meier, however instead of white those panels are aluminium in my project, only part of the…
Alex., How are your DOS drives cennected, because I had not one problem 1.33b software exept the backup problem 896+ frames. I did not even have a problem with the 1.29 software exept the one above and the then known PRJ directory deletion problem. 1. BTW do not forget to…

#Architectural Modelling
Message #150383
>> I make extensive use of Object Colors and a strategy for object naming.>You might try working with many .prj files and merge them just before rendering. You could also create 'stand-in' objects which can be used for camera/lighting placement. The 'stand-ins' could be substituted for the real thing at…
