I had an envelope sent last Thursday, have you sent anything to Hoffman Estates, Illinios? Jason
Neither did my dealer! He wanted to know where I heard about MAX, I told him here, on Cserve. He knew nothing of it, let alone the $495 upgrade! He said he would look into it, and call me back, he hasn't called back yet and its been a week!…
Is skin going to be part of MAX. I got the impression that the only to use skin is MAX would be by using the Skinemation plug-in that comes with Biped. I could be wrong though. Jason
Thanks!!
#MAX wishes
Message #184834
I wouldn't mind seeing flame & vapor being a part of MAX. Jason MAX looks absolutly awesome. Kudos to Adesk and the Yost Group!
Thanks!!!
Do you mean by upgrading now? Is their a number to call?
#MAXX upgrade price
Message #184588
Whats the price going to be to upgrade to MAX from release 4. I got the impression that it would be $495 from the files in the library but just wanted to make sure. And, will their be a MAX/NT upgrade bundle? MAX looks AWESOME! Thanks Jason
RAM for NT
Message #184430
Is it true NT uses 20 megs of ram by itself alone? I have four 4 megs simms know and am trying to save up for four 8's. Does this mean when I get 3DS MAX and 32 megs that I'll only have 12 megs leftover for MAX? That would…
MAX will only work with NT. I don't know about WIN95 and CLASSIC though. Hope this helps, Jason
No I haven't heard of any prices being released yet. I hope it not $500 I don't like how many have been headed in that price direction.
Sounds incredible! I can't wait! I MAD about MAX! Jason
Yes I also believe BiPed's going to be sold seperate from MAX. It is supposed to be the first core-component plug-in for MAX. At least thats the impression I got from the files in the library. But it sure would be awesome if they did include it as part of…
#3DS MAX
Message #184169
MAX sounds incredible! I want to know more! Anyone got anymore info on it? LIke will it Raytrace, have skeletal deformations(bones), or have something similiar to vapor/flame? I can't wait until it comes out! 3DS is now a true workstation class product. Kudos to Yost Group and AutoDesk! Thanks Jason
Sorry, I only have the Bones Pro demo. So I wouldn't know much about animating with it. Try posting another message in the IPAS usage section. Jason
I think thats the same cow off the CD, but comes with pre-made bones. Jason
Max will be for NT only. Classic may work under Win95, though I am not sure. Have to wait and see. Jason
Have you checked out the cow on the World Creating toolkit? I thinks it under Geometry\vendors\viewpoint. Jason
Yes, it was a great article. Hose's T-Rex and Female Torso models are pretty awesome! They show that 3DS can easily rival SGI's!
Great Job! I saw the spray animation, water flowing, and the two stills! They are really awesome! Jason
Autodesk isn't releasing any info on Release 5 until Siggraph. It is August 8-10, I think. Which is about 4 weeks. Jason
Wow, if some of the IPAS are built in to the core package Release 5 is going to be much better than I ever thought! I can't wait until it comes out! Jason p.s. Any idea what the upgrade price might be?
#3ds5 upgrade bundle?
Message #178970
Will their be an upgrade to Release 5 that is bundled with NT? And any idea on what the price would be? Thanks Jason
Whats the address and when can we mail for it.
#Mesh File Formats
Message #177217
How about including some other mesh-loading-formats other than dxf? Some like Imagine, Animation Master, or Real 3D? Just a thought, thanks!! Jason
Check out KiloByte by Piers Anthony to if youy haven't read it. It has such very fantastic ideas of what virtual reality may be like in the future. Jason
Well, tell them I'd like ray-tracing too, and everything else Chris mentioned. The more 3DS 5 has, the easier it will be to bury lightwave and other competition even further down in the ground. Keep up the good work! Jason
#T-Rex Metaballs
Message #170802
Anyone know if we're ever going to see an animated version of the Metaballs T-Rex? Thanks Jason
Check out the OverShoot button in the Spotlight ajustment menu. It makes a spot light act like an omni light and still cast shadows. Jason
I will reread my magazines tonight and find out if it comes with a freely distributable player. Jason
I have only read 2 reviews of Smacker, so don't know much about it. This may sound dum, but what is a proprietary formatted anim? Jason
Another way to compress flics is with a program called Smacker. It is made entirly for compressing 8-bit animations. It can compress animations with a ratio of 12:1 without any loss in quality! Also it allows real-time decompression. A 24-bit windows version is in the works now. Just thought I'd…
How much are you selling Bones/Pro for? Why are you selling? Thanks! Jason Lange
wHAT IS 3D sPECIAL EFFECTS ABOUT? iS IT THE BOOK ABOUT IPAS I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT? THANKS JASON
#3DS4 Registration
Message #162833
I recently upgraded to Release 4, but I cannot find my new registration card. I have searched everywhere. Is their any way I can still register, online or something? Thanks Jason Lange
The cancelled show "Viper" also used 3ds. They talked about it in the back of a "Digital Video".
No Problem! You guys deserve it! :^) Jason

#3D-Studio
Message #161020
Hi. I render as a hobby, and it is becoming a quite expensive. I would like to know, is their any way I could make money rendering from my home? I have a pentium and 3ds
Will it be its own program or an Ipas? Know around how much it'll cost. I'd love some more info on it. I Can just imagine Jose De Espona's T-rex crashing out from the underbrush. Those are awesome pictures. WOW, loved to se an animation. Jason
Wishlist – no seams
Message #160874
How about a command similiar to Animation Master's, that lets you join seperate parts of a model without any visible seams.
WOW! That T-REX is awesome, it's the best render I've ever seen! Great Job, he's a Jurassic Park quality render. Are you planning on making any other models? And is it possble to animate the t-rex? Thanks, Jason Once again, Great Job!
where is the T-rex posted? Thanks Jason p.s. great job on the woman!
