Bradon, >> apparently giving out some information that was not all true and flaming Anna… > Not sure what to say about this, is this a racial joke not very 90's of you.
Emmanuel, >> Sorry for my English. > I believe that porting 3D Studio from DOS to Window NT is one of the best things did in 1995.

Brandon, with regard to your Gaelic, my sister is the linguist, but I did ascertain enough to comment that the crest and name is registered in the St. Andrews Society… I could pull out more but it would be overkill… John
Emmanuel, Sorry for misspelling your name before. 🙁 >> Am I right when I say…
Bill, I conveyed anger…? Now that is a curious reading. Apparently we're not communicating at all… I find your comments quite inconsitent with what you have stated regarding your time here on AMMEDIA and the policies that have been stated on numerous occassions with regard to Autodesk. That was my…
>> Thanks.
>> NT Server will take advantage of as many as are on the system….
Hi Tom, The parent company of SoftVTR is called Moonlight Productions and their number is 619-625-0300. When you call if you push 9 you'll get the operator and she can send you literature on their product… or you can talk with sales at ext 3 about specifics… Hope it works…
>> Ah John always burning someone and then running from the fire. > Do you paint most of your backgrounds or use 3D geometry…
>> made any comment because it is implicit…
>> all packages who are written for NT will operate on multiprocesspr environment…
Dennis, >> They are using the S3 Trio64 chipset. Is that good?
Garry, >> some really weird things happen with this clients fonts / Logo…
>> We have a Panasonic MII machine and a RS-422 VTR controller… output to tape…
Hey Dan, I think I had the right idea, just didn't carry it far enough… There's a program called PCXDMP I think, and if you wrote a program to output ASCII characters to the screen and then called this program you could screen capture that to PCX and then convert…
Don, I don't know about mode 3 or 5 but I've seen WD showing off mode 4 with these specs. I don't know if they're AV compatible… seems the controller is the issue here… retrofits have in the past been an awarkward proposition but if its just a matter of…
>> I don't have the hardware to do it this way…
Brandon, I've re-read your post several times and I must say I'm rather amused. And don't take offense, hear me out first. You have a brash if not earnest approach… the brashness comes off more strongly that the earnestness, but in fact I suspect your earnestness is quite sincere. That…
>> I am used to getting flamed for not conforming…
Hi Dennis, >> I can get their "Terminator…
>> The Terminator when we are looking thru his eyes…
#PAR HD's
Message #178689
Hiya Don, I'm asking you because you've probably got a better idea on this than anyone including people at DPS (oops ). So what's the deal with these Mode 4 IDE's like Western Digital, any possibility that they'll run on the PAR. Jeez looking at the specs 16mb a second…
>> Thanks for your suggestion….
Dennis, one other thing you can do in the meantime is check out the Graphics B Vendors forum where Tseng Labs, Diamond, Hercules, Genoa and Matrox are represented… and also you'll get a good idea of what kinds of problems people are having with each of the respective cards… John
Dennis, Here's what I think you should do, before I have a shoot out with Bad Man Brandon at the Ammedia corral over display cards. I would suggest when you take Greg's class to ask other classmates and Greg himself what he'd recommend for your budget. If this doesn't exactly…
>> I have my old Diamond card running in DOS and the Matrox for NT..
Dennis, >>someone on the forum was complaining about the Daimond Stealth 64…
Well Dennis, you'd be doing yourself a favor to look into it… alot of people have Stealth boards and I've heard no complaints. ATI on the other hand has had many… the trades are biased to a large extent, who pays the most in advertising, don't get caught up in…
Bill, I've been active here on the forum and with regard to NT, and I can't say I understand you're comments. There has been a historical unprecedented release of information regarding the next release of 3DS, which was centered around the idea that people did in fact need advanced notice.…
Hi again, >> That sounds like a great idea…
I guess I didn't answer the question I thought you were asking, which was if you have disjointed vertices how to find them and close them all… the method of using display first helps find them as each segment will have a start point which can be identified… John
Dennis, >> I was considering the Matrox…
Hi Garry, The best and fastest way I think is to select all the elements and use MODIFY/VERTEX/WELD SELECTED… does them all in one step… Then you can ASSIGN all elements and use CHECK to see which segments are crossed over… another handy thing is to use for searching for…
Brian, >> I will include it in the file I send.
>> I will wait and see.
>> please forward it to us, John.
Rico, >> You're not indignant….
Thanks Dave, It looks like its all there to make it happen… but I know so little about these drivers and what I should be able to do with them… (documentation is non-existent for anything other than Premiere.) If one can create an AVI and play it back through Ani…
Hi Dave, Thanks for the quick response… >> I have seen a lot of discussion here about the PAR (and a lot of wishes for AS to support PAR) Well actually I think the intended purpose of these MCI/AVI drivers is to do just that, which is why I posed…
Dave, If you're becoming an expert or semi-expert (?) on Animator Studio have you played with the MCI/AVI drivers for the PAR? Got it working? Do you know about Video For Windows compatibility? I'm not sure which drivers I'm supposed to have loaded, I know there's a 1.0 and a…
Dennis, >> Thanks for all your help.
>> We manufacture video disk recorders for recording animation and layoff to video…
>> Hmmm, nice idea. You could then generate an animation showing how the outline was drawn line by line…
>> The outline could be saved as white on a black background…
Scott, >> Thanks for the great advise.
Dennis, I'm not using Premiere so I can't help you. The docs from DPS do mention Premiere as an example. I would refer you to them as I don't know the particulars on Premiere working with the PAR. I'm working on configuring it with Animator Studio, as I have an…
Hi Dennis, >> I thought Exabyte was coming out with (or maybe that is the 8505)…
Dennis, >> I was wondering, if the new replacement for the PAR will make the Exabyte's non-essential…
Rico, I'm not indignant… I just asked you to support your claim that Autodesk is deliberately making 3DS incompatible with Win 95… I find that idea totally absurd… the examples you cite are limitations of Win 95 and have nothing to do with Autodesk… IMO you're bitching at the wrong…
