#unknown compression?
Message #120513
I just downloaded a 'zipped .flc animation from one of the libraries. When I tried to unzip it, it told me that the compression method was unknown. Do I need a new copy of pkunzip.exe or what? Thanks In Advance, Brandon
Cool !!! Thanks. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I guess sometimes we like to make things more complicated than they really need to be. Thanks Brandon
I hope y'all don't mind me jumping into the thread? How to accomplish realistic starfields has been on my mind lately as well. >>"a few layers of starfield with different parameters for a really striking effect." How, exactly, would you accomplish that? I am in the initial storyboard stage of…
Hi John, I just re-read my message to you about Ezekiel, and I realize it sounded pretty "preachy". I apologize for that, I hope I didn't offend you. I have been thinking { uh-oh 🙂 } about your comments re: the 'physical parallels' between the possible interaction between 3d and…
Interesting thought, but it was a "vision" given to Ezekiel by Jehovah God, who exists in the spirit realm (which, if that's the 4th dimension, would't that be cool?). The whole point of the vision was to give Ezekiel a symbolic glimpse into what he could not see as a…
Thanks for the address and info, I'll put together some info, a sample paper rendering, and a VHS copy of our last architectural project. If you need anything else just let me know. Brandon DesignTec
Yes sir, we do have some information and a copy of our last project that we could send you. If you could give me your address I'll send you something in the next couple days. If you could tell me a little about what you are looking for It will…
How much to charge?
Message #119036
Hi John, I posted a message to reply to yours about "How much to charge?" for 3D animated walk-throughs last night, but I just noticed that your message and my reply have already been scrolled off the forum. Did you get my reply? At the time I think it was…
Hi John, No questions are ever stupid. We had to start out asking the same questions a little over a year ago. Now we are a full fledged animation firm specializing in Architectural visualization. As to the cost questions, it all depends upon whether this is the only one you…
I am sorry about that. I guess we just have to chalk it up to my inexperience here on Compuserve. I just joined 2 days ago and am still learning my way around. I apologize if I caused any problems, and thanks for the advice. Thanks, Brandon
New HDWR for 3ds render
Message #116254
To the Yost Group or anyone who understands the inner workings of 3D-Studio's renderer: I have recently come in contact with a digital imaging company who has just released a new expansion board for the PC platform. It acts as a co- processor to the main processor. The board can…
TThanks Mr. Pyros! I am looking forward to your classes at Atlanta's Autodesk University in October. See you then. Thanks, Brandon
Thanks! Brandon
Thanks! That will help me out a lot! Brandon
#Seq. bitmaps into flic
Message #116139
Does anyone out there know of a piece of software or a utilty that will take sequentially numbered (ex: FILE_01.TGA, FILE_02.TGA, …) Graphics files on a hard disk and turn them into a .FLC or .FLI animation. I am trying to generate an animation file out of sequential frame grabs…
The company is Adaptive Solutions, the card is a full size ISA, and the price I quoted was from their magazine ad which said that the 16 processor version was under $3,000.00. The name of the product is CNAPS, and, based upon their literature, it would seem that it was…
