>First, I didn't know art had absolute rules. Who wrote them? I know >you're not refering to temporary rules, since art continously breaks them. Of course art are continously breaks rules. However, that rules are imposed by the art itself. If you see history, with the appropiate perpective, you will…
I am amazed with this corel 4.0 thread. They forget to put the OCR in the docs?????? They have tell the mags, in the CorelDraw! 4.0 presentation, that they are going to release a new version each year…but with this problems, who will buy it? I'm happy with the 3.0…
Why just a bell? You could play a wav file with a "Yost Chorus Line" singing the entire Tom Waits' "Small Changes" album while files are copying and decompressing, and when a song stops, then you KNOW that you have to change the disk to continue with instalation and another…
Here we have the opposite problem: artist sees computers as a threat, not as a another "brush". However, there are others, who see the posibilities of this neverending media (I think that I'm in the last "gang"). I consider Jean Giraud "Moebius" to be one of the best examples of…
Bailey, While I agree that Intel is squeezing the 486 line (and therefore not making Pentiums as quickly as all of us want) and that AMI can take out Pentium motherboards (in my opinion AMI is a very big company), I think that there are lot of problems regarding the…
Thanks for the info, Don. Ana
Hi David Have you see my message to Martin Kunert regarding this "Creations For Creator's Eyes Only" subject? Ana

Certainly, I think the art-technology fusion are happening. In fact, it has been always there. Is it not technology the development of the fresco technique? Even a simple brush? In my opinion we have to seen computers just as another (although very sofisticated) brush. Once upon a time …computer graphics…

Martin, I think that it's not a question if condractions and arguments. Simply, it's more a question of personal convictions. I think that it's true that there are art for art, art for fun, art for the personal artist satisfaction, art for beauty, art for… many forms of art that…
Great! Mine will be in the board soon. See you on…euh, what res.? Ana
We have some screen shots in the magazine as well as some technical general info that a colaborator send us from Washington (included in the looong general monthly report). I think it's the same used in PC Magazine for their Trends section (well, to be true, I'm sure they have…
[Continued] who can love computers, that was Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo with a computer: he! now we should have been talking throught a Solar System Wide Network, you in Mars, me in Io 🙂 Regarding Velazquez, have you seen the studies about the lay-out and creation of "Las Meninas". Wow!…
[Continued] Computers won't give you anything. You have to use them as you use a brush, pastels, chalks, carbon or even a stone and animal blood. Throught the ages, artist has been in a search for tools to serve their creativity. From the hands, sticks, blood and the Lacaux or…
Martin, Yes, I agree with you mostly. However, always in my own personnal opinion, we can make some distinctions between diferent kind of special effects. Althought I personally HATE classifications, you can see special effects throught many perspectives and sides. Take Terminator II as the example. The effects are, as…
> Are you going to be at Siggraph? I'd like to meet you. Not, certainly not. I will be there next year because I will live in the States for aprox. the following four years. I'd like to meet you personally too 🙂 I'm sure that you and I are…

Paul, If you really can call special effects art, ok then. In my opinion, Terminator II effects can't be called art. They ARE PERFECT, amazing, awesome, i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e, I agree! Special effects are wonderfull and a needed element in some movies and ads, but an special effect will not make a…
[Continued] Regarding the last one question (nothing about the fourth one, sorry), I have read in the forum that there's a board, the SPEA based on the Intel RISC chip i860 (I think), that gives you previews on real or nearly real time. But for this one you will have…

Multilayer support
Message #47101
Although we are working on software to this, it could be nice that see some multilayer support in the next truecolor (non real-time) version of AApro. I have see recently a demo of a program called Altamira, which is a paint program that use layers to put bitmaps in an…
Ralph, I will translate some of the information from an very long chips review that have been published in PC Actual in May. I also will include some of the info that Intel has sent us. Stay tuned Ana
I hope to finish the project for presentation in Imagina'94. Since we don't have any financing we have to do the work in free time (which is very little). It will involve 2d classic and 3d animation. We are planing to make some of the 2d software also (not me,…
In anyway I want to appear as a prophet or as the holder of the Truth of truths. I only feel attacked by your "saturday morning show" as sole reference that you write in your previous reply. In anyway my study of art give me the rights to attack an…
Robert, Both test are using a display: with the QBICDEMO we use a Matrox Impression 1024 and for BIRDWALK, 3ds use the VGA320x200 also in the same board. We also tried the NULL display option in the BIRDWALK render BUT see no difference between results (in the Compaq 5/60M). However,…
Please see my reply to Paul Lind. Ana ps. I'm sure you are very good, Dave. However, I can reply you with a little spanish popular phrase: "Dime de que presumes, y te dire de lo que careces". For those who don't know spanish: Tell me what are you saying…
Please, see my reply to Paul Lind and you will understand my opinions. Thanks, Ana
[Continued] These are the things who makes Winsor McCay a MASTER of MASTERS. The ideas and the result of the earlier toons of Tex Avery (for me, the BEST cartoon director in the world, and one of the best humorist in the world -along with the Monty Python's-), specially his…
[Continued] artwork and frames form Disney and Warner Bros.; one ton of reproductions (specially from Fantasia) and another ton of books (most of them BIIIG -lovely- format). I think that this little resume is enough to demonstrate what is the basis of my opinions. Regarding the relation between talent and…
Aparently, you have taked my message as an offense to animators in general, and 3d animators particurarly. By the contrary, my message is only intended to express my admiration to the work of the _artist_ who do or did classic 2d animation. My words regarding parts of my anatomy are…
It could be nice to see some of that japanese METABALL stuff in upcoming versions of 3ds. Have seen tons of experiments with that kind of modeling in Imagina for years and it's amazing. Ana

You can input the values at the RENDER/CONFIGURE menu at the KF or the editor. Put your display to NULL (also in that menu). Ana
Mmmh…now I Understand =) With a 3D version of NT coming on the way, including the 3d Silicon Graphics libraries as part of the GDI (after buying the license to use it), it seems that Microsoft has serious plans to have his piece on the animation cake. Wellm knowing Microsoft,…

#Is Targa+64 NTSC good?
Message #40863
Bailey, Me again. If I'm not wrong, I think that you get wrong concept (probably we both are wrong ). From my modest understanding, when you are in 512 or 756 lines resolution, interlaced, the targa is "outputting" (is this the right word?) an NTSC signal (14.318 MHZ, H:15.734 KHz,…

#Targa+64 @ 756x486x32?
Message #40862
>>The next logical progression from the targa+ 16/32 is the AT-Vista 4mb (or a Matrox Illuminator Pro). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Martin, It's my imagination or do you still have some doubts about what will be your next card? (just kidding) Ana

Animator 1.3

Frieder, We already have the 1.3 version in Spain. It doesn't sound logic since your market has a hundred TONS of possible costumers that Autodesk has in Spain. Ana

Illuminator Pro
Message #40850
I mean a encoder/decoder SUCH AS the VIDI/O! All Truevision docs puts the VIDI/O as the encoder/decoder box for their products since IT'S a Truevision's product. Sounds logic, but not adecuate, I know. BTW, I only have seen the Vista in action only one time, but I see the TV-1024…
David, Are you talking about Animator Pro? If so, I don't know for sure if there's a 2.0 version in the works. Anyway, 24/32bits support is enough for me to justify the upgrade payment or just spend another $1000 (aprox. spanish price) to get AniPro 2.0 (or what I call…
Ahi si que te pille! 🙂 Ana
Alec, I was surprised when I found that you speak spanish, but find it moreless normal. Then I've discovered that you also speak German and now Greek. What's next? I think that you couldn't access any chinese character set in CIS. Probably you can send chinese messages as gif files,…
Oh, my god! Just curious….How many languages do you speak, Alec? 🙂 Saludos de Espagna, Ana
Hi there! Well, I'm back after a long period out of here (unfortunately, when the business are growing up, free time goes down 🙂 mmh…so here comes again the old 24-bit question. Add some arggghhhs! to the list. I've also heard from Techex that AT&T is going to abandon all…
Thanks Ken! It's a pity that they don't give support via CIS or a BBS:( Thanks again, Ana
Kenneth, I had some read and starting up problems with the Pinnacle REO130 and the Future Domain adapter that comes with it. I was unable to solve them so I change the board for a Corel one with corel drivers and all runs perfectly (i love MOs). I don't know…
