Absolutely! In fact, Sony has a department dedicated to it! I'm sure others here will fill you in on specifics. -Scott
I wouldn't recommend investing in Composer, as version 1 is the first & last (hence the low price). Alvy Ray Singer went to work for Mr. Gates & Composer is being composted! -Scott
No problem! -Scott
Not! Nancy Fulton wrote 3DS Applied. Inside 3D Studio is by Greg Pyros, Steven Elliot & Phillip Miller. -Scott
>>…they quoted the PR stuff that's mailing in the New Boxes of PAR Boards now shipping
Kevin, I'm interested in an ASUS Triton w/ pipelined cache (Non-EISA). Do you know of a dealer (local or otherwise) that has them in stock? -Scott
Murph, >>I just talked to tech. support yesterday and they wouldn't tell me anything about this and I'm a Dealer!
Doug, Check out the Idek Vision Master 21", an excellent value. I have one along with a 17" & I've had no problems at all. Can't beat it for the price & reviews have been very favorable. -Scott
Getting information from them is like pulling teeth! You really have to be persistant, or they'll give you the cold shoulder treatment. Maybe they're understaffed or something…I don't know. As for the price of the IDE dropping? I wouldn't be surprised if they just priced the SCSI higher, at least…
Jeffrey, Wish I could help but I just bought the 3DS version myself & haven't had a chance to use it much (too busy playing with Pennello-). However, I've been using KPT for Photoshop for 2 years now & it's a great program. Timothy Leary would literally go nuts if…
That's funny. He mentioned an EISA configuration. The ASUS ain't EISA, is it? (Wow–talk about a tongue twister!) I think you mentioned that you don't sell mobos, right? I want to build a new system from the ground up. Any suggestions? -Scott
Video Compression
Message #161590
Can somebody recommend a company in the Los Angeles area that does video compression for CD-ROM? Thanks! -Scott
#SCSI PAR a go-go!
Message #161588
FYI Dept… I was informed by DPS today that the new SCSI PAR "will be available in 30 days"! Pricing has not yet been determined. -Scott Lawrence
Ah, yes, file servers…I should have known! -Scott
Kevin, Thanks for the info…I've heard good things about the Asus Triton boards, although I've heard that EDO ram isn't all it was cracked-up to be (and only available in 4megs). Still, Triton chipset is supposed to be approx. 20% faster even w/o EDO. -Scott P.S. Thanks for calling to…
It was designed to encourage experimentation! The best way to learn it is to play with it. That's the brilliant thing about Kai's interfaces…they're unique (and fun).
Pssst…hey buddy! Over here! It's me…Doktor Caligari. And I have something in my "cabinet" that you could easily do without! In other words…no contest!
Martin, >>…all the Dual Pentium motherboards I saw were EISA/PCI.
Martin, Just out of curiosity, why would you buy EISA-based mobos? (Unless, of course, you're using the EISA-based Targa 2000).
No problem! Glad I could help. -Scott
Danny, Write to Barbara Gefvert@Planet Studio CIS#763761,2135. -Scott Lawrence
#WARNING CalComp Tablets
Message #160762
PMJI: >>Evil! Evil! Stay away!!!!!!!
Tim: PMJI, but FYI, Bowie & Eno have not one, but two collaborative efforts coming out later this year! I'm a long time fan as well. -Scott
Thanks for the info. Guess I gotta once again bite the bullet! -Scott
John: I'd be curious to hear your critique after you've had a chance to work with it. I got burned by my last video card and I don't want to make that mistake again! -Scott btw, where are you getting it from?
Nik: >> Is this equivalent to "No news is good news"?
My pleasure! (I never actually log-off…you wouldn't believe my CIS bills!) -Scott
Email Barbara Gefvert @ Planet Studio CIS# 76376,2135. My guess is the CD may be shipped separately. -Scott
Hey Nik! What's the verdict on this one? -Scott
SCSI PAR
Message #160100
Does anyone have a line on when the new SCSI PAR will be available? -Thanks! -Scott
Triton Mobos are coming!
Message #160090
I'm looking for a rocket scientist who also happens to be a hardware dealer. Just kidding, actually I need a dealer who carries Triton chipset Mobos. Does anybody have any insight or experience with Triton/Pentiums? Thanks! -Scott
Nik, Thanks! I'll look into it further…decisions, decisions. -Scott
Thanks for the info, Nik. I'd be curious to hear your opinion once you've had a chance to check out the Impression. -Scott

#Planet Studio mag
Message #156267
James, Just curious…did you ever get an answer from Barbara re: Planet Studio. They ran a full page ad in one of the trades, but that's all I know. What's the scoop? Is there a press release somewhere in the forum? -Scott
What a coincidence! I just posted email to you regarding this very subject.
Thanks Nik. Actually, I haven't bought it due to negative comments here and on Matrox BBS. But I'd like to hear from other users of MGA Impression+. -Scott
Have you taken animation classes at UCLA?
>>Do you mean enhanced IDE?
>>…Two 1-gig Western Digital Enhanced PCI IDE drives
Greg, >> hopefully as interesting to all as "Inside 3D Studio" is!
John, Before you buy the Mag, consider the Idek VisionMaster…a better monitor and great value, IMHO. -Scott Lawrence

#Baaaad Puns
Message #155518
Greg, >>This was meant as the ultimate complement! It was so baaaaaad that it was good! A few more like this and I can retire!
Greg, >>That was baaaaaad! :^)
Surprise! I figured that. Thanks, Byron. -Scott
Derek, >>As I'm now missing an arm and a leg after buying the board I hope to get the most from it!
John, All I've been hearing are horror stories about it. Apparently nobody told Matrox you don't get a second chance to make a first Impression! Good luck! -Scott
>> Is this some kind of compressed format?
I get "impression" that the Impression+ is minus 3DS performance. Should it be avoided? -Scott
Byron, Is this a new version of TJ for Razor plug-in or the same that comes with ER (which I already own)? It's a lot of fun for a little money! -Scott
John, >>Using PCI would be like putting 400 horsepower in a car that will never go faster than 50 mph.
