I have definitely been had. B/T/W, they told me everyone would receive $10 min / $500 max credit. Very tricky. Was first told Atlanta had 14.4k local access for several months, after the whole story developed, that was changed to "I think it was in January" I really hate to…
Hi Gary, Thanks for the IPAS & Demo Reel info. Bill

\exit Hi David, How strange. I don't believe I've ever paid much attention to a humpback whale before – never even created an underwater scene I don't think. After viewing your images and posting my message about 4-5 a.m., I had to be somewhere at 9:30 still very much asleep,…
"I must be misinformed" turned out to be quite an understatement! After conversing with you about this, I called CIS Support today and learned that someone at CIS had given me an 800 WATTS number to use (supposedly the least expensive method) which I have been paying $18-19 / hr.…
Last night I d/l several of Mr. Kellerman's recent postings and all were corrpted. However, the Skin and Whale postings were fine ? The Kellerman stuff was the first time I've had that happen here. Using PHUNZIP v. 2.04G I think. Thought I'd mention it.
Hi Greg, Thanks for the offer. There are a few places here in Atlanta where I get dubs but I just hate the inconvienience of having to make the dub to Beta SP. I've been thinking about getting one of the new "budget Beta" machines just for in-house convienience, but…

You don't know me and I realize I'm a little late with this, but I finally got a chance to download your whale images. I just wanted to let you know that I thought they were outstanding. I recently was experimenting with an underwater scene involving some dolphins and schools…
Hi Gary, Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond to my questions. I'm really looking foward to the release of this routine. Am I correct in understanding that this is to be a "surprise" bonus included in one of the 2 sets which you have described here ?…

Hi John, Thanks a lot for the info. So there are others using MII ? Sony would have you believe I'm about the only one ! Actually it is inconvienient to ALWAYS have to dub to Beta SP plus additional expense. However, in my opinion it is clearly superior for…
#Skin.axp
Message #85216
Hi Gary, Here I go again with a barrage of questions w/r/t to your skin.axp. However, unlike my last barrage of questions, I believe these can be generally yes/no type of answers thus not imposing on your time too much. I can only imagine how busy you must be. Hopefully…
Real 3D to 3DS
Message #85209
Hi John, I haven't talked to you in a LONG time. Hope you are doing well. Listen, I have a quick question if you can talk about it. After being heavily involved in the Real 3D (Windows) beta program for quite some time until just recently, I came to 2…
#SIGGRAPH Demo Reel
Message #85202
Well, thanks Jonas. When I first spotted your waiting message I thought it was going to say "Don't upload stuff like this" or something (which is why I posted the final disclaimer). I think someone could come up with a very useful IPAS similar to what I generalized on in…
Need IPAS Help
Message #85065
Geez! I know you are sick of hearing about this by now, and I swear that this is the last word on the subject. I just wanted to point out that in order to get continuity in the "flow" w/r/t the PIPSPURT.flc example I uploaded, anti-aliasing must be OFF, strange…
Need IPAS Help
Message #85045
I hope everyone understood that the "PIPSPURT.zip" file that I u/l which contains the tiny example flic, contains no "pretty pictures". It was sent just for reference re: the Need IPAS Help thread that I started. I don't want anyone to be disappointed with the d/l, and told Jeffery he…
Need IPAS Help
Message #84695
I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to respond to my questions regarding my problem described in the "Need IPAS Help" thread, especially Martin for the more detailed info. As I told Martin, I had to abort the notion of using the Spurt IPAS in order to…
#Need IPAS Help
Message #84239
Hi Martin, Thanks very much for responding to my inquiry. To make a long story short(er), I ended up creating the effect by creating actual models for the particles / trails, using animated texture/opacity maps, post processing, etc.. However, I did experiment with the IPAS solution quite a bit before…
#Real 3D Program
Message #84238
>>Have you heard about Real 3D V2 Windows? It is available as a prerelease (a.k.a. beta?) for $500 and the features look good. If anyone has any comments, I would be interested. Especially about the interface being better or worse than either Animation Master or 3D Studio. Also the modeling…
R3 DXF Prob.
Message #83328
Thanks to everyone for responding to R3 DXF PROB.. I really appreciate and am impressed by the activity here. I guess I never noticed the problem before as I probably never pushed the program that deep into physical RAM useage, plus the program seems to use more RAM now, as…

#R3 DXF Prob.
Message #82896
If anyone could help w/ this….. I am using R3 on a system w/ 32MB RAM and have never had any problems, even with huge models, etc.. However, w/ R3 and DXF imports, I've been having a strange problem: With DXF files generally < 250k or so, no problems -…

If anyone could help w/ this….. I have 3DS R3, all Yost IPAS, other IPAS, etc.. I need to create an anim which uses trailed particles (similar to spurt, Fireworks, etc.), which APPEAR to be traveling the length of a transparent curved tube (like a radiator hose), and are constrained…
