>> Can someone be kind to tell me what this means: >> Abnormal program termination: PageFault CS:EIP=0001a3a1BH It means that you have a problem with either memory management or hardware. Did anything else change when you reinstalled? Greg Pyros
Roger: >> can any one tell me how to rotate an object about 2 axes? Use a dummy object or two! Greg Pyros
Steve: >> Any ideas? If your disk is OK, it must be the controller. Greg Pyros
Tim: >> Are there any other differences between the 1700 and 1800? I believe that the PVW-1700 cannot do an audio insert, but aside from that, I think they are substantially the same. (But don't quote me on that!) How much cheaper. Around $1,000 or so, you'd have to check…
Steve: >> I have found that when the number of vertices exceeds 64k I crash! We have successfully rendered many projects with hundreds of thousands of vertices with no problems. However no single _object_ can have more than 64k verts! Could that be your problem? Just break it into pieces…
Cees: Check your e-mail! Thanks! Greg Pyros
Mark: >> I'm trying to convert 1536 x 168 TGA images to FLC format (effectively >> a single frame flic animation) but 3D studio won't let me convert >> files that big. Really? I think I've done things larger than that. Exactly what error are you getting? Did you remember…
Paul: >> My 3DS characters all have rough, dry skin. Is there anyway I can >> apply 3DS salve to all of them at once? Maybe an undocumented >> hotkey? Have you considered salving groups? Or salving your meshes? Or just salivating over MAX? That's the trouble with these automatic…
Steve: >> Could there be any memory management issues that I could do anything >> about by playing with cfig386? Probably not. Like I said, look for a new controller! >> That thing is mostly Greek (No offense) to me. None taken! I've used the phrase myself, and I can…
Marc: >> I'm am interested on any information in regards to a V-LAN controlled >> single-frame system. In other words from your experience which VCR's >> have proven to be the most reliable for single-frame accuracy. We got away from single frame early, between using laser disks and DDRs, we…
Terry: >> This thing actually does CCIR -601 (720×480)… Not to rain on your parade, but CCIR-601 is 720×486. I always wondered where those last six horizontal lines go! :^) Greg Pyros
Cees: >> I'm looking for the soltrack routine for 3d-studio 4.0 Check your e-mail! Greg Pyros
Mark: >> routine that will renumber a list of images For Video Post, the best thing to do is create an IFL. Assuming you have nothing but the files in one place, just go into the directory and type "dir /b /on > filename.ifl" and use that! Voila! Greg Pyros
Steve: >> However, I made the assumption (perhaps incorrect) that there >> are things that Adesk knows about 3ds that is not general knowledge. I have found that using this forum is usually a better way of finding out information than any other. I have also found that anything Autodesk…
David: I haven't seen this before. Anyone else with an EVO-9650? Greg Pyros
Mike: >> I set up NTServer on a 486 w/16megs… And they said it couldn't be done! How's the performance? >> hooked up 4 DOS machines running Lantastic and a NTWorkstation Great to hear! I ended up putting Samba on both of our Sun SparcStations, thanks to Gus and John…
Steve: >> I have sent several forum messages on my disk crashing problem. >> One addressed to "all" and one addressed to "Adesk". I have gotten >> some replys from individuals trying to help (with some valid >> suggestions) but no reply from anyone identifying themselves as Adesk. Since you…
Mike: >> Those drivers you guys are looking for are on the Multiven Forum >> in the Turtle Beach section. I think they just went up yesterday >> the file is called MSNDNTEV.ZIP. You are both a gentleman and a scholar (in addition to an animator!) Thanks, Greg Pyros
JKJ: >> Why Mr GP, how very helpful you are, once again. I think we'll keep you. I guess I'll never get out of here at this rate! :^) Greg Pyros PS – Did I win anything? An embroidered hat or something?
Jeff: You're welcome! Check your e-mail for detailed info. Greg Pyros
Dave: >> Right now, I'm trying to find the Beta NT Monterey drivers. I thought >> I'd found them but no such luck. When you do, please let me know!!!! Greg Pyros

Lee: >> I believe "Instant Artist" is a new aerosol spray that Tim Forcade >> has been working on… Is that the one with the "Make Art" button on the top? Greg Pyros
Jason: >> This probably isn't the best way to go about getting help, but I don't >> know another way. This works, but try addressing a message to ALL or to someone responsible for the program in question. >> Using the Flame.axp on disk 6 i often get the error-…
Jeff: >> Is there a program that will … allow 3ds to write YUV format >> when it renders? Yes, there is, YUV_I.BXP, and not only does it allow 3DS to write YUV files, it was written so that 3DS can also read the YUVs, also! Great when using files…
Anthony: >> Since I upgraded the BIOS two weeks ago, I can't get 3D Studio v4c1 >> or Animator Pro to run on my machine. I keep getting a Abnormal >> Program Termination: Illegal Instruction CS:EIP = 000Fh:0019EB50h >> message. Sounds like your new BIOS is using different areas of…
Tim: >> Yes you can. I have several tapes of stuff I made Win3.1 that I use >> under NT Backup. Thanks for the info – this could come in handy! Greg Pyros
James: >> True. We need someone out in left field to test the envelope. >> (Just kidding, Greg!!) That's left coast, not left field; how many times do I have to remind you? :^) Greg Pyros
Greg: >> For those of us in the UK, how about a virtual tour, e.g. some >> stills and info on the adesk forum… Bug me about this after my deadline next week and I'll see what I can do… Greg Pyros
Dennis: >> Is a Targa card the typical/only type card one can use to do this? The Targa, AT-Vista, and Targa2000 from Truevision will all allow this, Matrox has a couple of cards, and I'm sure others, also. The reason I prefer the AT- Vista is that it will show…
Tim: >> The NT Backup is nice, it is a scaled down version of Arcada Backup. >> Adaptec ships a version with the EZ-SCSI software that works under >> Windows 3.1. Interesting – do you know if the NT Backup and EZ-SCSI WIN 3.1 versions can interchange tapes? That would…

Ernie: >> We were talking about installing the NTFS. If you make a drive NTFS >> then _ONLY_ NT can read that drive from then on, right? Correct, but I would recommend not creating an NTFS partition until all is working smoothly and you don't need to access through DOS.…
Ernie: >> Can this be a logical partition (say 500mb extended) on a drive… Yes, it could. Or a separate drive. However, our last four NT installs here, we just installed it in the Windoze 3.1 directory (which is what NT defaults to, anyway) and everything works just fine, both…
David: >> I think you mentioned using a utility to interlace two images together >> a few days back. Could you possibly lead me to it…? We have the need >> to interlace (alternate scanlines) several series of images. There are two options that I know of to do this.…
Lee: >> Should have called it "fishing with Greg" part2. But it was much drier than Part 1 was last year! :^) I was just glad to be able to help everyone out! Greg Pyros
Terry: >> "Some users can work with a single monitor for 3D Studio, but it is >> highly recommended to have separate displays for modeling and rendering. Why didn't you just say that's what you wanted? I think you had Alan a byte confused! Since I think I recall writing…
Barrett: >> Because of this, I've just received the message: "Can't apply material – >> already 255 in the scene" Does anyone know how to get around this >> limitation. Sorry, this is an internal limit with the present versions of 3DS. You'll have to be creative (I've gone as…
Robert: >> I'm trying to make a compact disc in 3DS, What you want is the free IPAS routine called RAINBO_I. It was created by a company in Hong Kong (Pointer?) specifically for this purpose. I found it on the Internet on Avalon about a year ago, look in the…
Bruce: >> doing a jigsaw puzzle animation for an industrial video. Easy. Create the puzzle in the shaper, loft the pieces assembled, and map the image on to it at that time. In the keyframer, leave frame 0 alone (important!) and animate and render the range from 1 to wherever.…
Bruce: >> Can anyone clarify for me when to render frames vs. fields. General rule: whenever rendering to tape, render fields. >> can I select the Fields setting in the VP render dialog box to output >> the saved frames as fields or would I have to re-render those previous…

Mr. Dan: Hi there! I'd call Digimation for any training tapes or books, they seem to either create or sell just about everything for 3DS at good prices. About the JFIF / JPG, I never bothered to check, Image Alchemy will read and convert both, so I never cared! Let…
Dennis: >> Mine has four. Three BNC's and an RCA. I hooked the RCA to the >> sync, and all was well. FYI, the RCA connector is a GPI trigger. The sync is a BNC on the board itself. Greg Pyros
Don: Sounds like a well-thought-out upgrade path. Unless, of course, you see MAX when it ships and just tell yourself you have to have it! The best laid plans… Greg Pyros
Dave: >> I was going to be asked to do a juco campus fly-thru… Is the Juco Campus anywhere the School of Hard Knocks? :^) Greg Pyros
Lee: >> Am preparing to hook up 2 VTR's with a PVR and an editing switcher. Will >> I need a sync generator for this type setup? Did you get my phone message the other day? Sorry I missed you! Let me put it this way – you always need…
