Is JPEG 24bit color?
Message #104055
Anyone, When you render to JPEG using 3dsr3, is it automatically 24bit color? Thanks, Mike C.
Thanks for responding!! The time it went back to Keyframer, I went to DOS from 3d Studio and there was 7M left on my hard disk. That is where it swaps. The Bernoulli 150M had plenty of space for the .jpg files. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Mike C.
#3dsr3 troubles
Message #101569
Anyone, I just received 3dsr3 upgrade. I have an animation with 100 frames and I am trying to render them to disk(Bernoulli) using .jpg format. It does fine to frame twenty something, but then it either gets out of rendering to Keyframer mode with no error message or it reboots…
3D Glasses
Message #98676
Anyone, Does anybody know anything about producing 3D video, so that when you put 3D glasses on, it will look like its coming at you in space? I heard you can capture video and then produce that effect using Crystal Graphics. Can you do something in 3D Studio or do…
#Time/Scale Question
Message #79770
Anyone, I am having problems using TIME/SCALE SEGMENT on a path in the Keyframer. For example, I would import a circle from Shaper and use it as a path in the Keyframer with total frames at 100. When I look at the frames on the path, they are all evenly…

#Pentium??
Message #69789
Anyone, Is there anyone having trouble running 3DSr2 or r3 with a Pentium 60Mhz system. I am thinking about purchasing 1 or 2 of them. I heard you need to be careful because some systems will only run like a 486-33, or something like that. They do not run at…
Greg, Thanks for the reply. I've heard about many problems people were having with DOS 6, but I do not remember any specifics, since it did not concern me at the time, because I was using DOS 5 with no problem and was not looking to upgrade. Are a lot…
#486-
33 or 486-66
Message #53052
In the near future, I am going to be purchasing new computer systems. The problem I have is whether or not to get 486-33, or 486-66, which is about $300.00 more. I primarily use 3D Studio and Animator Pro. Is the 486-66 performance much better than 486-33 on these packages?…
#Panning
Message #49665
Anyone, I have a flic of a camera's view, where the camera is moving down a road. I set the resolution to 800 x 200, so on my 320 x 200 screen in Animator Pro, I will be able to move (or sort of pan) left and right. Is there…
#Template
Message #48782
ANYONE, Is there a way in Animator Pro to take a .GIF or what ever kind of image, and use it as a template. Sort of like in 3DStudio, where you show a light gray outline of whats in 3D EDITOR in the LOFTER or SHAPER to kind of draw…
I was wondering if they are going to show any of 3ds R3? Mike C.
Keith, It is an external drive, but it is powered by the PC. You get one SCSI card with it to put into a port in your computer, after doing that, it is portable. The only reason it was being used was to store mass amounts of data for graphics.…

Hi Martin, Thanks for the response. But I do not understand the second answer. I wanted to know, if you were able to take a tree with 30,000 faces and perform something on it to delete, say 15,000 faces, but at the same time retain its general shape, without making…
Alan, Thanks for the reply. Another question. Is there an easy way to set up such a pallette, as oppose to setting each of the 256 colors, one by one, to the values required? Mike C.
#HIDE and UNHIDE
Message #43138
To Anyone, I have 2 questions concerning 3dsr2. 1. Is there anyway I can HIDE and UNHIDE objects while rendering a flic. For example: If I was rendering a flic of someone driving, where there are trees on the side passing. As the person passes the last tree and that…
#RGB SHADES
Message #42854
I was wondering if there is any way to render an image and/or flic using 256 colors out of 8, or 16, or 64 shades of RED, of GREEN, and of BLUE, instead of 256 shades of each. Another words, if I were to use 8 shades of each linearly;…

To anybody, I am currently using a TARGA+32 board, and trying to get Animator Pro to work thru this board so I can output animations to video tape. Everything seems to be working OK except that the colors on the objects are wrong (or the color palette is wrong). Any…

Message #35702
1 I was very interested in the IPAS Toolkit be do not know to much about except for what it does in general. It doesn't seem like the dealers know to much either. Maybe, you can give me some insight on what exactly it is and/or what is included. Also,…

#SoftVTR
Message #32269
Greg, I will be using a SVHS or Hi8 recording deck. Since I will be renting the deck, I will have a choice of the model. But, most likely, I will be using a Panasonic AG-7750 SVHS deck. I have a list of all the VTR's SoftVTR can use, and…
#SoftVTR
Message #32103
I am interested in getting a controller for my system so I am able to do frame by frame recording to video tape. I read an ad on a product called "SoftVTR" which costs about 1/2 the cost of a "Diaquest" board and states that it does pretty much the…
