#AVI from 3DS output file
Message #173440
Can someone tell me what utility is best for creating AVI files from 3DS animations and where can I find it? Thanks, Gary
Jonas I guess I was mistaken. "Inside 3ds" refers to 3d mesh dxf to acad and I guess this is what i remembered! Exporting from the Shaper in dxf doesn't seem possible so I'll just render my signage and import to corel and reconstruct quickly w/ some .AI files I…

Message #173002

#3ds project news?
Message #169486
Gary, The interaction stirred up by the "Lightwave vs 3ds" thread was very exciting! The heat generated by this challenge brought out people and projects that make 3ds users proud! The opening remark …"what the hell are you talking about", regarding the use of 3ds in serious projects reminded me…
Bill I didn't see the article but I was really surprised by an article in the May\June issue of "Interactivity" Magazine called "SoftImages New lineup" to read that they mentioned specifically that "SoftImage has translators of import and export (including support for 3dStudio files)." (I'm sure this must be common…

John Retainer? The only retainer I can relate to is the metal thing that I've had installed in my kid's mouth so that later,when she bites the hand that feeds it will have a perfect pattern. I had to choose between the PVR and retainer……had it installed to shut her…
John, I guess what I'm asking is how is a product like "reboot" created from a logistical point of view? To create 30 min of this kind of program what assets need to be present? I'm only curious … I don't see this kind of endevour comming to the architectural…

Jim What an image you suggest!! At present, people using computers in the same room will have a slightly Zombied look in semi-darkness whilst modeling in some other world!!
