>the new PVR sounds like a winner, just like the PAR is/was. Yes it does. I guess I'll be a good boy for Santa this year. David
>Go for broke, that's my motto. Mine too… and so far… I've been fairly successful David
> …win the prizes What did I win …… please…….. not another Animator bonus pack. David
Ok, I wasn't sure. but after rereading your original post and trying to think back ( 1992 is ancient history) I realized that the fonts you listed included those on the bonus pack. I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong, I just wanted to point out what I…
Woddy as Malcolm? That's the coolest thought this year, but now, thanks to you , I'll never get that image out of my head. Hmmmm…..I already have Photoshop 3.0,Painter 3.0, KPT 2 (and I just won a copy of Premiere 4.0, lucky me ) so whadda ya think, maybe I'll…
>read the file perfaq.txt in lib #6 for the full details straight from DPS. Just before I saw your message I spotted and read the file…. WOW! A definite "Must Have" Thanks -David
Why would you want Animator, It's so limited compared to Animator Pro. If wasn't a lice. violation , I'd sell you my copy of the program and manuals, but since I've upgraded (and plan to again real soon, I hope) It would be illegal to sell it. I sure a…
>Autodesk Animator does not support additional fonts. About six months after I got Autodesk Animator 1.01, I received a package in the mail from autodesk. It was called "Bonus Pack" and it was a bunch of additional fonts for Animator on two 720kb floppies. They installed and worked fine. (…
Thanks, I look forward to seeing your Demo. Now what is this I hear about the new DPS unit being a "stand alone " device, no computer necessary? Do you know if this is just one version with a PC "internal" version also available? My source (not my reg. dealer)…
>Alvy Singer … Annie Hall (For a while it was my favorite movie next to "A Clockwork Orange") Thanks for the info…., with some of the 'Pros" and some of the "Cons",…. I have no idea what to do… See Ya -David
I met Alvey Ray Smith ( AKA Singer ) at Siggraph where he gave me a 40 min. private demo of Composer. What a cool guy. Even if it's dead in the water, Composer seemed to be a very useful program. At $150 it seems to be a bargain. Are…
Thanks for 3DS vs. LW thread… I saw what Yost et all sent you about "being constructive", and for the very first time, I disagree with him (them?). Using multiple tools is almost a necessity Anytime I debate something, I always learn more about it. Thanks Now as far as…
>prefer Razor Pro < Thanks Greg I was leaning heavily in that direction myself. (Now I've leaned over ) David
>I'm out of that loop COMPLETELY.< I guess I was Loop-D-Looped and now I've gone COMPLETELY Loopy David
>>all the IPAS routines that you would have to purchase to get features that are in Lightwave right out of the box.
#But I did register:-)
Message #162601
Hello Yost Group Is there anyway to check on my registration? I originally got 3DS3 about a year or so ago and have since upgraded to r4 and then 4C1. I also started with Animator and upgraded to AniPro 1.3. The reason I think there might be a bit of…
#Edit prog. for PAR
Message #162598
Hi Greg I'm taking the plunge…. getting a PAR. Would you mind telling me what edit program (s) you use? Is Adobe Premier a viable option or do I have to go with Razor Pro and, if I do, is Razor really as good as my dealer tells me? As…
Thanks for the info Whats this I hear about Hash products no longer exporting in DXF? Does this affect Playmation? -DC-
Barbara I sent in a subscribtion card quit a while back ( shortly after the last Siggraph)! When it never came in, I guess I never got around to sending another ( I still have a small stack of issue #1s laying around somewhere ) The CD offer that I…
>The spline modeling feature is identical in the inexpensive version of Playmation. < I was thinking of following your lead and picking up a copy of Hash/AM to complement the center of the world that we both share. The main reason I wanted to get it is for the spline…
Thanks Just curious to see whats happening out there in the real world. Please let me know if you upload anything Bye -DC-
>I'm here lurking and writing scripts like krazy< Anything you'd care to share???? -DC-
Hi > since you can get Composer for $149 right now< Do you have any idea where they have it at that price???? Thanks -DC-
>It is to be loaded as a gradient. If this doesn't work I will research the problem and get back to you.< Loading as a Gradient was the obvious way to go, so it was the first thing I tried. I doesn't work ( at least on my system.) Please…
Thanks for the info… I don't seem to be able to make the tempory fix work. Do I load .GRDs as gradients or as UVmaps? Thanks again –DC
Thanks anyway… you never know wiich "last ditch" is the right last ditch. I'll just have to keep on diggin' Bye – David Camp
>>Have you tried shelling to DOS from 3ds and printing? Yes… it works fine. DC
Parallel port is on the motherboard ( Intel "PLATO" P90.) Printing seems to work fine in everything but 3DS. I'm printing to a Citizan GSX-130 dot matrix, through LPT 1, (Also through 3DS, Liq.Speed,Pennello, & LenZFX Hardware locks) I tried it without the dongles, no go. ????????????????????????????? I don't have…
Thanks David maybe I'll write a batch file that renames GRD_I.BXP for use when I want to use LenZFX with Grad. Designer. and re-renames it on exit. Thanks for the reply David Camp
Oh my goodness, I'm replying to my own message…. I guess this means that I can be as rude as I want to the dummy the I'm replying to I think I was looking in the wrong place… Yes LenZFX does use EYEBROWSE (at least a modified version) to load…
#3DS Printing
Message #160761
Hi Just one quick question and I'll get out of your hair Whenever I try to PRINT anything directly out of 3DS, nothing happens. It would be nice to be able to print some of the things that have print buttons ( I guess that's probably why you put them…
#LenZFX – KPT- crash fix?
Message #160758
Hi Hi Hi there my little Droogies I finally called Digamation tech support about getting KPT Gradient Designer to work with LenZFX. A nice guy named "BO" told me that I just had to rename the BXP that EYEBROWSE uses so that EYEBROWSE will not lock up when trying to…
With a little effort and imagination, Particle cloud could be coaxed into doing it. It is available from Schreiber also. I once got a somewhat similar effect while playing with Magic (Digamation) but I honestly couldn't tell you what was involved. Good luck -David
>>when generating a flic with a backdrop image… Nice try, I've haven't heard that before and I'll give it a try, but I was able to reproduce the problem by resetting 3DS, creating a box, assigning a material made with .GRD files to that box, adding 1 omni light, 1…
Sorry about the LARGE TYPE, I was halfway through when I realized what I'd done and decided to finish that way. Imagine 3.0 /3.1 by Impulse software allows you to use as many types of maps of each kind as you want. This would be a wonderful addition to 3D…

I guess with Ver. 5 now on the horizon, it's time to start buggin' you with my "wittlle wist of wishes' 1) WHEN YOU START THE SCRIPTER, HAVE A DIALOG BOX COME UP ( LIKE THE ONE FOR THE .A3D) THAT LETS YOU EITHER START THE SCRIPTER, OR JUST PICK…
>Object Snapshot has proven to be an INCREDIBLE tool for structure definition. This is what makes this forum so great.. While sitting around at work ( don't tell my boss) I was re-re-re-reading Inside 3D Studio and thinking about writing a script that would scale objects in an array (…
#KPT CRASH!!!!
Message #159896
Hello out there in renderland While playing around with my shiny new copy of KPT Gradient Designer, I became a "virtual crash dummy" ( It happens to the best of us) And I just thought I should let this select group put their collective heads together and let me know…

Message #158118
Thanks , I needed that. (I didn't mean that to sound like the announcment was a slap in the face ) -David
Thanks for the reply… -David
Thanks for the info… -David
James Hi. I've been out of town for a bit, just got your message. Thanks . I'll pass on the info to my pal with the PAR. (And I'll keep it in mind for myself when I get mine.) Thanks again, Bye -David
OK.. no problem. I thought maybe there was something out there I'd missed David

#PAR on network?
Message #155777
Hello "All" I am forwording this question from a good friend (Not yet on C$) (Not yet having a PAR myself, I couldn't help him) He just got a PAR, he has it on one machine in a small peer to peer network setup. He wants to know how he…
>I assume the first $3500 would be on 3DS 🙂 I don't know where you're located, but around here ( South Florida) if you shop around, you can find 3DS for about $2100 – $2500 or so. You might want to consider a DPS Personal Animation Recorder (PAR) Card, unless…
#A few wishes
Message #155689
1) I was working on a script… and I thought that it would be nice to have the title of the script shown in the title bar. (Also show the title of whats in the buffer.) 2) It would be helpful to have short commands ( ie. in DOS, LOADHIGH…
