I can't see what could I want 3ds to print when I have specialized applications that can get the most of our printing system and link us with press systems. My world runs on RGB, but most of them runs now on CMYK. I really don't need printing from 3ds,…
Gus tell you all, but Keith too. For me, both are ok. 3ds takes the tiny stupid DOS, throw it away, and take the whole control of the machines. NT, OS/2 and the others, provides everybody with an standard enviroment to develop all kind of solutions _without_ limiting theirselves to…
Great question! Seems like Rachel Rosenthal (sorry about the spell) and John Ellis are the official architectural people makers in the forum. Both are here, so you can talk with them. I think that both have examples (rendered) of their people in the ASOFT libraries, so take a look and…
>IPAS routines should not be interfaced purely through numbers and sliders, >the approach should be intuitive. Now tell me an example of that.
I agree with all of you. I want a great main program to have a standard base to start with, and then customize it the way I want. IPAS are great, and I think add-ons are a must in all programs. Fortuantely, it seems that the developers of software think…
I'm not sure about the DVR price. Someone says that it will be more expensive than the Vistas, but others said that (without the memory) you can get it at Targa price. The last I have heared is that there are two brief new product releases in the Truevision forum.…
It's not the imaginery in the little mermaid, but the history. For example, do you know when the sexy Ariel discovers her legs? And why she have to pay with her voice (a part of her, and a symbol of sexuality development) to the evil power -remember the Bible, the…
You won't find that in Australia. Well, probably the Sidney Opera Hall , but that is a symbol for very sick minds… yeah, probably 30 and up minds. Fortunately I am still in my twenties 🙂
I pay for it $79+shipping directly from Fractal Design Corporation. Phone number to order Fractal products: 800 647-7443. I think that the offer on the price (upgrade price) ends on September, but you can try. Anyway, the price is not bigger than $200 ($179 I think).
I wrote him a note in the Truevision forum. He is looking for a localbus vga/pal board of for real time playing and a sony evo or a (in)famous Sanyo for accurate truecolor work when he need it, and I pointed him to this forum, specially thinking on you and…
Sneaky change of subject everywhere in CIS. "mmmh, oh yeah, that phallus in image 24 at 3ds. BTW, talking about Jung, can I put my wishlist in for the DPS PAR software with you? I want to do it because I need some textures for my next animation and want…
Sex is everywhere, ladies and gentlemen. You only have to read each innocent fairy tale you can find to know what pornography is about. From the chinese legends to the russian tradition, to the long first epic poems in spain. All is sex everywhere. And I'm not a sex maniac.…
It seems that you go with the "bed" in mind all the day
#Painting onto a 3D Obj Fm: Mark Zimmer 73140,2016 To: ALL
Message #63950
No, X2 is not the same than Painter 2.0. You will find the following new features in the extensions (which are now a main part of my life 🙂 -message from Mark Zimmer summarizing the new features- X2: Multiple floating selections within an image. List for identifying group structure for…
No Martin, I don't have Photostyler yet. I order the upgrade ($150!) a month or so ago. And I don't have to tell you what is the reason of the soon departure of Photoshop from Hard Disk Land Don't expect an "upgrade" from Photostyler. Photostyler 1.1a will be to Photostyler…
yeah, probably we will see a 3DO version of "Mario _Yost_" soon
Yes, you are wrong Robert. I think that you have let fly your imagination a bit or probably I'm not too accurate in my descriptions. Yes, I said that the Photostyler 2.0 + Painter x2 will be a killer combo, but the only way you will get them linked is…
You don't need to do "some Freudian work". YOU are The Freudian Work
Yes, in the bottom. It's clear, but also could be the perspective. Hey, Martin, I think you don't have to do the Jung project. Why don't start with Freud?
Sure Robert. How many alpha renderers do you want? I'm sure that Gary will give you the exact day of the release of that renderers. C'mon, have you forget to whom you are talking? Yost, Gary Yost (003DS with license to program) But of course, all of us can dream…
Your idea is great. It could not be that bad to run (model) 3ds under x86 emulation (althought it seems that NT only do 286 emulation) in a DEC Alpha platform. And it could not be that difficult to make a rendering (cheap:) module compiled to the platform in question.…
Who knows, Loko? The upgrade is shipping right now. They took a little time BETWEEN the final announcement and the final shipping and they said that it was because they added even _more_ new features to it. Hey! It could be nice to open the effects windows and find a…
You will do a bad move then. I have PhotoShop and PhotoStyler, and now use more PShop, but the PhotoStyler upgrade will move Photoshop out of my hardisk for sure 🙂 BTW, have you got Painter X2? I have no words for what you can do with this program I…
You must consider start to develop for the 3DO platform This game console seems to have more MIPS than a 486DX2/66! ana /krazy images
Laptop

A low power consumption chip with power management capabilities. Enough clear?
Wow! 3 guys, 1.5 hours? And someone say that there are no Truevision support. ana /krazy images
Dealer Sales, ETC!
Message #62251
Nothing related the word "censoring", specially talking about information, is good to anyone. I know that because I come from a young democracy. i think like you, that all things can be runned naturally. Common sense.
Dealer Sales, ETC!
Message #62250
> I always wondered how the forums were run. To Kevin's information, I have to add that non-companies related forums are not runned by Compuserve. For example: The Graphics Forums are runned by a independent company. Each forum is runned by one kind of team, which competes which each other…
Dealer Sales, ETC!
Message #62249
According to CIS rules, dealer ads are not permited in the forums (but YES in E-mail). I only have seen one time a strong message from a Sysop to a forum member, invitating him to leave the forum, but that was because repeated unpolish behaviour, no advertisement involved.
#Dealer Sales, ETC!
Message #62248
For me, you are one of the most valuable source of information in CI$.
Dealer Sales, ETC!
Message #62247
I have been in the forum for more than a year now, and I agree with you in this subject. My participation in CI$ was firstly motivated by the existence of this forum and the Truevision section in MULTIVEN. I think that here are people with opinions that I respect…
PCI vs ATI card?
Message #62246
I haven't see the Diamond, even a PCI setup yet! But regarding the ATI Ultra Pro, I have one here, and it has the poorest Windows drivers that I've seen ever. Even the new patches still have error. And overall, I don't like the board, except for the hardware setup.…
3DS&Pentium
Message #62244
It's fun, yes 🙂 Since Topas have is Quadputer enabled, probably the Yost gang decides to surprise somebody someday (somebody who have the money, by the way )
And again, the same answer. John, I think that you are a little excited with this. Now that I have heared both parts, I have a clear idea of how this thing evolved. And I'm still thinking the same way. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. ana /krazy images
What could be the cost of such a dream? I mean, could the Yost Group buy the thing, the compiler and all, and take out a Quadputer version of 3ds or there are more millions of dollars in developing (like the realtime drivers? 🙂 Do you know what is the…
John, This is an edited message I have sent to Greg by e-mail: (Talking about John relation with Rachel) "However I don't care about that. I don't have to see the people models of anybody to come with my people. Of course I can think, "oh, I want to make…
I know Gus. I only try to explain our point of view. Believe me, I don't have any simpathy for the PC Magazine reviews. They don't have biased reviews. They have The Biased Reviews And don't mention Dvorak, please (arrrrrgghhhh) ana /krazy images
That's my point, John. Competition. Remember Darwin 🙂 ana /krazy images
I think like you, Robert. I suppose that it's because I always have to be creative. Well, when it comes to architecture, not creative, but deal with specific projects from specific clients -different needs- each time, when it comes to my own personal art projects… the name says it all.…
J.Dvorak says "YOU HAVE FORGET THE SMP OS/2, PATHETIC MICROSOFT ACOLYTE!!!" (you know, Gus, tell the complete truth or "Boris" the-press-monster-from-the-BLUE-castle will take you by Halloween night ).
Yes, Altamira. You know, the caves and the paintings, in Santander, Spain. internationally protected art and all of that. ana /krazy images ps. Hey! At last, a word that I know for sure how to spell! 🙂 (but it is not english! 🙁
I know about other magazines, and I know about PC Actual. Our philosophy is oriented to the real user, and our tests are based in real applications. While other people, like PC Magazine or Byte (which are BIG companies) are starting to make "Real World" tests, we have been doing…
#Copyrights & Ethics
Message #61390
Hi everybody, John E., John F., Rachel, Gus, Paul et al. After reading all the message fire about ethics and copyrights issues, i have decided to jump in with my opinion (which based in facts, no emotional response). I don't want to torch again the gun powder, but I think…
We have test the Compaq 5/60 intensively with Windows 3.1, OS/2, NT, 3DStudioR2, Photoshop, Painter, Excel, WinWord, WP for Windows, Access, dBase and a neverending list of commercial programs, shareware, freeware and our Pentium compiled testbed. This computer is as powerful as the soviet rocket Energy, and as solid as…
I have to talk for Truevision like always, Baley I'm not the Kevin-like high class dealer type, neither the Gus-like advanced programmer type (you can say that this guys have the necessary support because theis relations or whatever). I have speak with you about this before, you and James know…
