Targa +32 for sale. Never used. My client who has this was big into autocad and wanted to move into 3DS but never did, consequently this board has been in the box on the shelf. Make me an offer. We would like to see around $500 to $600 for it.…
David, Here's my thoughts on your situation. First, sounds like your in a tough situation. You said no price was ever discussed up front. That's dangerous. I have found even when I bid a job saying it will be x amount of dollars and revisions will be x amount in…
Gregory, Tell me how you want the images and I think I have a few that would interest you for the book. Let me know, Paul Kakert Fresh Look Design
Scott, You're getting some good advice. The best of which is to visit the forum often. The list of Forensic Animators is good to get on, just a a cross reference if you need advice. I just completed a accident reconstruction that consisted of 3 views of a 2 car…
Digital imaging. Good words to describe it. I hope Human Resources is up on this stuff and doesn't right me off as just a traditional artist. I know they compare it to other similar positions in the health insurance industry (that's what we do), but I doubt there are that…
#Help w/job description
Message #3233
I have a selfish request. So any responses are personally appreciated. I have a unique opportunity at a critical point in my career. I was brought on with my current employer 1.5 years ago to work as a graphic designer in a small but growing marketing department. The capabilities of…

Conner hd? No, sorry, I went with the Micropolis 1 gb. Never a problem and I have rendered about 2 dozen animations ranging from 5 to 45 seconds on the PAR. The best money I ever spent next to buying 3DS. Paul
Contact James Murphy in Wisconsin. He is always in this forum and that is where I bought my PAR. He'll treat you right – mention my name (like that will get you anything – ha!) Paul Kakert

#Stealth 64 VLB probs
Message #145491
I just installed the Diamond Stealth 64 and my screen has a fuzzy, like a double image look to it. New drivers? Any suggestions? Paul
I don't think I will get one. I think a new small tablet will do for now. Hopefully the glidepoint technology will catch on. Paul
Corel/Photostyler Cheap!
Message #144871
FOR SALE 3. Corel Draw 3.0…….Brand New, never opened. I got this package as part of a bundle and already own it. So you can benefit with me. Comes with CD-ROM full of 10,000+ clip art images and hundreds of TrueType fonts. Asking for $55. (That's $50 for Corel plus…
Tim, I just ordered NT 3.5 because I need some of it's benefits for my graphic design work in Photoshop/Pagemaker. I was thinking of running 3DS under it but hadn't heard of the "problem", what is the conflict if you don't mind telling me? Paul
#Lightwave for Windows
Message #484
Wondering if anyone can comment on how Lightwave for Windows will stack up against Autodesk's 3DStudio rel 4 (I currently use 3DS4) The price is great at under $1,000 compared to $3,000 for 3DS, but what about performance and features. I have read that ease of use for lightwave blows…
After you try it out, let me know what you think Paul
Thanks, I will put it there as well. I spend so much time in ADESK forum and thought someone might have one laying around. Paul
#Software trade??
Message #141979
I am looking for a version of QuarkXpress on the PC. Latest version if possible that someone has either for sale or trade. Or if anyone know if Quark has a comptitive upgrade for Pagemaker users. I have Aldus Photostyler 2.0 that I could offer in trade. Thanks for any…
I did just see a mail order ad that had it. I called and asked about a money back satisfaction guarantee since it is such new technology, but of course they don't have one. I doubt and store in my area will have one to try out. The response you…
Great. Hope someone responds. Let me know. Paul
Try entering the pen computing forum (not sure if that's what it is called) Try typing GO WACOM, that's how I found it. It has a lot of pen and tablet vendors on it and I believe some open forums not specific to a vendor. Thanks for getting back with…
Sale
Message #141228
Selling the following, please email me for price list. 20" monitor – 1024 x 768 max resolution. Front panel controls. Made by Microvitec. This is a older monitor that is great for 2 page layout work. It has good color but will not support the ultra high refresh rates of…
Hey, I am also very interested in anything you found out. I tried a Wacom tablet but like you said picking up and putting down the stylus is a pain. Please let me know if anyone tells you a review of the product. Paul
Sounds like a great pub. Do you have a number to call? Paul

Forensic Animator Assoc
Message #136328
Hi Rick, I've talked to you hear before. I am interested in the group. I will try to watch the thread for a while and see what everyone has to say. I see the benefits from an organization like this. I just am completing my first forensic animation and there…
#Photostyler sale
Message #136043
Aldus Photostyler 2.0 for sale. Email if interested. Also selling IBM Storyboard Live 2.0. Email for prices, or email an offer.
Rick, I think you'll find a lot of forensic animators on line. I have been trying to get into that market for about 2 years now. I finally landed a great case and am about finished. Trial in 1995 sometime. I am anxious to see it go to court (hope…
Hey Jimbo, Maybe I spent so much time modeling carpal tunnel syndrome I developed it by power of suggestion. Well, it isn't that bad yet, but can't afford to pull up lame now. I am gonna stick with the Wacom tablet. The company seems to be determined to work out…
Wrist problems…you and I are in the same boat. Seems whether I like a tablet or not I will have to grin and bear it until I get used to it. Still haven't gotten a workaround on the 3DS issue but I am still searching. Wacom has commented to me…
#Wacom & 3DS
Message #129049
Anyone else using the Wacom ArtPad with 3DS. I love it in Windows, but because it is pressure sensitive you really have to press hard to get things to work in 3DS. They (Wacom) said they know this (as of a week ago) wondered if anyone had heard of new…
Thanks again for the jump start helping me figure out my tempo questions. Paul
Loring, I ran into this problem a while back. I had an animation focused around a football stadium. The scene started with the camera directly above the field. I wanted the camera to drop straight down, and as it neared the field, slowly take a path around the entire field…
MPH in Tempo
Message #123945
I am doing a courtroom animation reconstructing a car accident. I want to use the TEMPO routine to adjust the speed of the vehicles involved. I think it should be possible to make the vehicle, setting up its path and setting the following: From point A to point B the…
Need LeBaron model
Message #120463
I am looking for a 1988 (or similar body style year) Chrysler LeBaron. Anyone have one they are willing to sell. Or anyone do modeling for reasonable price? Or (finally) anyone know of a car which is similar in look that I may be able to find a model of…
#2 questions
Message #116378
Any idea if rel 4 will be able to output to a VFW or Quicktime format? Also, the big question….when can I expect to see an upgrade offer to r4. and any idea of a ship date? Paul
I have a 20 to 45 second clip (2 different animations combined) that has a single point of view entering a warehouse, getting into a forklift, and driving down the aisle. The initial 20 seconds has the outside building view dissolving away the roof to reviel the inside of the…
Your points are well taken and I have heard the same from others who have actually done this type of work. I have gotton back to the attorney and he is working on getting the information from the reconstructionist and he now realizes what my role is (to visually display…
In search of Tektron?
Message #113876
I received a phone message from a Carla from Tektron (or Tekron) Industries. They wanted to see samples of my work and said I could contact them via CIS. I am assuming then that they were responding to my response to a help wanted message they posted. I can't find…
Here's the scoop: BTW – I appreciate all the input (getting an education on this one) There is an "expert witness". Someone who has done the calculations. They have noted where initial impact of the vehicles occured as well as doing a "velocity deceleration test" Through his testing (and he…
There is a Mercedes Benz on the 3DS World Creating Toolkit CD ROM for R3 I beleive. Paul
Found out even more today. I can't contact the officer who did the reconstruction information because the lawyer I am working for doesn't want it known that they have hired me. Makes things tougher than I thought.
All good points. I still haven't met the reconstructionist or seen his findings. It will be interesting to see. I was hoping to keep the animation as simple as possible. To use it to simply demonstrate the evidence that the lawyer will be presenting based on the expert findings of…
I'll call them. Hope it comes out soon and can help me. Wondering if anyone would volunteer info on how they have dealt with a similar situation. I was thinking that with the TEMPO routine I could do this case but now I wonder. I have a case involving a…
>Plus, c'mon down to Siggraph and we'll blow your mind. How can I get passes to Siggraph. I know it's in Orlando this year. Not sure of the dates. Is there a # to call for info. I know my company will send me if I can justify it with…
Sorry to jump in here but I saw you mention R4 of 3DS. I run both platforms (PC and PowerPC) I would really like to find out the answer to your question on a PowerPC version. Just curious. Have you heard anything official on R4? Paul
#Coefficient/Friction
Message #112187
Creating an accident reconstruction showing a car crash. My task is to show the wreck at different speeds. I have the TEMPO routine to plug in the different speeds. I have available to me stats from the reconstructionist on the coefficient of friction. Can I use this info with 3DS…
