John, Don't kid yourself. The more professional animators there are, the more business there will be. I'm breaking new ground every day. I just don't want someone to go running for dollars and mess-up the market. Technical questions should verify what we are doing right. Not what we're missing. Rick…

GARY. Is the book out yet or soon to be published? Rick
David: Question To THe Expert: Does this accurately represent what you are saying? How accurate has your testimony been translated into graphic form? Can you verify that? Is it creating testimony beyond your analysis? Is it an educated guess? Did your testimony or understanding of the "accident" change after viewing…
JMH, Do it the old fashioned way, boolean-boy it. Increase mess complexity, copy it & then cut it up several times (the copies) If you use the same mapping on all pieces, the crack won't be visible. Used this on a sink-hole accident. Still amazes me to see the concrete…
Krazy, PMBI, Are you in my neighborhood? 3D User's meeting in around Ft. Lauderdale. Rick Lapidus
Alan, File too big to send. Appreciate the offer. It would be nice to have a more interactive ipas interface though. Rick
Alan, I tried to import 1 of 5 demo water.3ds into another file to see if they worked. I couldn't get the water ipas to work at all outside of the demo meshes provided with the ipas. Alone they work. Merged into another file, they mysteriously turned into a colored,…
Alan, Thanks, I'll try it. But my question still hasn't been answered. Why wouldn't the imported demo mesh work in another project? Try merging it into another program. Rick
#water problem
Message #120457
Can't seem to get the water to function like any of the demos on a larger scale. Even when I merge the demo into another project file. (& maintain scale of original) It won't function. Please help.
Lawrence, PMBI I'm using a NEC 486 dx 50 laptop. Haven't had any problems. What model are you using? Rick Lapidus
James, Need any animators? Rick Lapidus 71172,1451
David, Put me on the list Rick Lapidus, 71172,1451
James, Tell DR. Barry I said hi! saw the animation on discovery channel. Rick lapidus
Kevin, I'll try it. Is there a decent utility to monitor the conflicts? I had a tough time installing the targa+ the first time. Really hate to fix what'ws not broke. Rick
KEvin, the sound blaster won't work at 220 & the targa won't work at anything other than 240. Rick
Dave, >/// I've got a SoundBlaster 16/ASP board and a Targa+64 in my machine (Gateway P5-60) with no problem (other than they eat up memory with drivers/page frames). Have you just run out of I/O addresses/IRQ's, etc or what's the problem? >\\\ They both want to sit in the same…
Robert, >/// I'm curious about disk to vtr "not liking" the T64+. I don't seem to recall any problems w/ the 64+. It should work at 512×486 at 32 bits just fine. Could you go into more details.
G I guess it matters where you are standing. It works fast in the medit? Rick
Gary, Brian's explanation was right on the money. Re slowiness, why isn't browser 15/16/24 bit? I'm back to hunt & peck in the materials editor. It would be nice to view the selected ones quickly Wasn't that the point of browser? Why is it 8 bit? RIck
Brian, Have a targa + 64 board and an ati wonder plus board. not using pass-thru. BTW Just found out that targa plus 64 isn't well liked for "disk to vtr" today from the readme.doc. Re-read it today. Anyway around the split buffer? Pulled out my hair for a while…
#Browser Problems
Message #108342
Have had problems getting browser to work on several machines. Seems to like the vibrant update on disk 7. Only works well with the texture universe cd. Have tried 2-3 others. Beyond that, several questions: 1) With non-indexed cd's like "World-creating toolkit", documentation suggests creating an index saved to local…
Dave, Still need a lesson or two? Rick Lapidus

Swap Full
Message #99227
Getting a warning message that swap is full when trying to get out to dos shell. This will happen at start-up with 16 megs & no meshes loaded.
James, I understand the problem & will be back to you next week with several suggestions from my User's Group. Just tried to do a dxf-in price for an architect & found 500+ objects. There was a nicely patterned marble floor. Ouch! Hope to start a thread on preparing DXF's…
Greg, I saw the maps, but not the fonts. I have to make a few out of the ordinary signs. Rick PS Love the book.
FONTS
Message #98667
Looking for Fonts which will work well with most traffic control signs Rick Lapidus
Dave, Didn't understand your reply. I was saying that there should be a course on animator pro & 3D Studio here in the asoft forum! Rick
Alex, You should be getting the post cards. Contact Kathy Clinton is you are not a registered user or 3d Studio or Animator Pro. RIck
Greg, There are 3-4 good tutorials in the ACAD Forum under User's Groups. It should be here also. I've got 3-4 that I made up for a class that I had to teach without books. Rick
Michele, PMBI, Kill the darn thing. It will only install in the default 240 DMA that the targa + board likes. Doesn't really like most memory managers. Will wreak havock on most systems. Have the guys that sold it to you pull their hair out trying to install it. ARRRRRRGH!…
Tim, Nice to see that you guys have got moving. Can I stop by a meeting when I'm in Orlando? Rick
Nik, I buried the soundblaster & all my problems went away. Except of course that the previews are at half sceen size. Any possiblity of getting a 512×486 preview mode. Rick

Nope, just went walking a country mile around a corner. Rick
Jack, I understand. Problem cam up in merging 2 or more files with large number of objects. Only solution is to modify/object/attribute all objects in files prior to merge. Would be nice to assign a name or dummy object in merge to save time. Rick
