Sounds Great !!! I really can't wait too see it. Is there a way to buy before Siggraph ? I really can't wait. Mike White
>>>Great! Well see ya on Sunday night at the asoft party.
I'll have to take a look into this. Thanks for help Mike
Yes I'll be there. Finally I get to meet you and every one at Schreiber. I was disappointed I couldn't make it last year. Mike
If you have the time Metaballs works great for modeling human form , and clothing. Using Bones Pro to animate the the human, and make the clothing move with the the human form. Also using Pupetteer for the bones creation. I've done this with a project for a new game.…
Like your script. Nice work. Mike White [SDP]
I seem too be getting some what of the same problem with the #9GXE64PRO. If I use any 256 mode after rendering all I get is a black screen. One thing that cool is it doesn't lock up so I can at least save if needed. Mike White [SDP]
I would really like to beta your refraction software. Maybe even swap routines. I have about 22 routines and one top secret one on the way. I could include you on the beta as soon as it's together. Thomas Hickson had mentioned that he meet you guys at a convention…
You pretty much covered covered some excellent ideas. Yeah the particle effects are endless. So much fun. I can't wait to see this routines power on NT. The speed increase of a duel pentium. A little hint is to try spheres or the routine box.pxp for your stand in objects…
Your welcome Wade . I see what your doing I'm glade it worked out well. When I first read your messg.. That's the way I thought how to do it, but I wasn't sure. Mike
Do you want the motion blur to go the opposite direction as the particles? If yes try animating the tornado first then render the scene again with the tornado in reverse with motion blur Comp the two scenes together using alpha channel. Mike White [SDP]
Your welcome . I'll still keep it in mind. Mike
This a good one. It might be the mother board. It sounds like you have a system like mine , but I don't seem to be encountering your problems. I think about it and will get back to you . Mike
I'll need more info on your system configuration. It might be a bad memory chip or a scratch on the mother board. This is all I can tell for your messgg. Mike
Hi Jim I have this capture utility. It came with the targa's developers tool kit. One thing is there's no doc's on how too use it. I haven't figured out how too use it yet. Mike White
Jack Are you using Qemm or Memmaker? If so boot while pressing F5 key and the run 3dshell. Then 3 D Studio should load up. The exit out re boot and run 3 D Studio and it should be fine. Mike White [SDP]
Here's one to try Jack Try simulate the blast effect of a nuclear warhead. Key Factory can do this. This is my next adventure with Key Factory. Mike
There's so much you can do It's unlimited. It's a must for any 3D artist's tool box. Mike White [SDP]
Thanks Gary. I'm going to try too let the Asoft groupies know next time in advance. Mike
>>>I'm actually surprised they let you get away with it, but then maybe you managed to hide it pretty well. Either way it doesn't matter as your satellite was unlinked to a satellite and broadcast nationally. And that's always fun. (or at least the kid in me still thinks so.…

Message #173224
I wanted to let every one out there.Tonight on the Discovery channel at 11:00 pacific time. One of the animation I rendered and laid to tape was on World of Wonder. The animation is of a fly by of a satellite passing by Pluto and it's moon. If you you…

Thanks for the info I'll give them a call. Mike
Us developers of IPAS for Schreiber have given up the locked versions of of IPAS. Mike White [SDP]
Fancy Interfaces are nice , but as you mentioned it slows you down. I prefer a simple interface even though the dealer like the glits of a fancy interface. Mike
If there's any question please ask. I sure there's some clues I can share to get you going. Mike
>>>>Yeah, it's a device driver that makes your DAT a hard drive. I think you'd see 4GB on a DDS2 drive, though.
Your welcome Ernie, keep in touch. ] Mike
Hey Greg any luck with the clouds using Tmaker. Mike White
> Ernie if you have the Autodesk Multimedia Partner Catalog you'll find on page 44 a description of the hardware and software. Here's a basic description If you all ready have the 5 to 8 gig HP DAT you just need the software. It works in DOS and Windows. You…
Yes that's the truth, before I bought the DAT I lost many gigs of animation, and hundreds of megs of meshes. I really couldn't do with out it. With the software render to DAT it makes it even more valuable. I knew I made a good decision. My DAT unit…
Thanks for the tips. I have three gigs right now with a 8 gig DAT in which /I plane on getting the render to DAT software. Then I should Have plenty of space . Mike
Thanks Jim. I will sign up. Thanks again for the help. Mike
Your welcome. Hopefully these little quarks will be fixed in the next release. Mike
Thanks Jim I'll give you BBS a call tonight. I'll E-mail you my results. Mike
Well this might be some good news I have some one willing to write a roto-scoping driver for 3DS just for us users. The only catch is he want's to know it has a place, and price on the market. I let you know more on this development. Now on…
What about checking if it attributed the *.lzf files on your hard drive you as hidden. This seems to happen with my version. Mike
Hello C Evans call Schreiber at 800 252-1024. They have a new facial setup for puppeteer. This is what I've been told. Mike White [SDP]
David are you using Flames or Vapors. Some thing with the secondary motion scrogs with LenZFX. Mike White [SDP]
Your welcome Scot. Mike
That sounds interesting. I would like to hear more. I've tried Video for Windows. It will control my Sanyo VTR completely. The only problem is the Targa MCI driver seems too not want to work. If I could get that to work I would be one step further. Then I…
#RotoScope Sanyo GVRS950
Message #170989
Hello out there. Is there anyone that can give some information on rotoscoping into 3D Studio using the Sanyo GVR- S950? Another question . What about output and input software for time coded frame grabbing for DOS and Windows? The software needs to support the Targa 64+ and the GVR-S950.…
[PMFJI] I also wanted to say is your common sense should tell you if you pirate the software, you are the only one too loose since your competition will have it for free. Mike White
