LenZFX Questions
Message #155338
Aaron Hi, I just got LenZFX, I must thank you. Yost disk 1 was the most used IPAS in my arsenal, now I may just toss it in the can. LenZFX is what I've been looking for since I started working with 3D Studio. I have a couple of minor…
Kyle Sorry for the disappearing act. My father passed away in early Dec. and I had to break away from everything I was doing to help my family. I really want to get the Newsletter back on the burner (as opposed to on the back burner). If you could, I…

Jonas I tried simplifying my start-up files even more than normal Autoexec.bat Path c:\; c:\dos;d:\3ds4 prompt $P$G no config.sys whatsoever (I had put in a files and buffers statment but I inadvertantly left a space before each , I'm not sure how, so the came up Bad Command, File) I…
Thanks for the shot…. But I'm using MS DOS 6.22 This whole thing is very strange, could be some obscure fault in my Intel motherboard. I'm also having some very minor (well maybe not so "very" minor ) problems with installations of windows programs from CD-ROM — Corel Draw 5,…

Jonas Sorry, I accidentally deleted your post to me so I had to do this by memory (It's a good thing you don't know the state of my memory, ) 1)AMI BIOS (flash ) is up to date. 2) Other programs work OK in DOS and Windows. 3) I tried…

#HELP! TEMP file Problem?
Message #154819
Jonas… What follows is a message that I sent to Yost Group last night. Gary suggested that I ask you to help……. I got me a big problem. yesterday I upgraded to 4C, I worked for a few hours and everthing seemed fine (except that my screen kept blanking out…
Thanks for the quick reply. FYI I renamed 3ds.exe (4c1) and renamed old3ds.exe "3ds.exe" and it didn't help, A hardware problem does seem the most likely cause. My system has been a bit more unstsble since I upgraded to a P-90 intel motherboard. I'll send a mess. to Jonas about…
Thank you. I'm sure the story will inspire confidence in some of (never "all of" but that's their prob.) the "DOS or DIE" crowd. I, for one, am thrilled by the prospect. I don't yet have NT, but that is soon going to change. While you're working on Rel. 5,…

Hello oh mighty gang at Yost I got me a big problem. yesterday I upgraded to 4C, I worked for a few hours and everthing seemed fine (except that my screen kept blanking out every few minutes) after starting 3ds up this afternoon, my screen blanked again, so I decided…

Jonas Yes, I Feel like I got my money's worth with the R.4 upgrade, but the main reason I ordered it right away was for the patch modeler. (I didn't want to have to buy Animation Master as a 3D Studio modeling extension) The inclusion of the Browser was almost…

Hello Hello, Jonas Wow, when I saw the introductory price for the Watcom 10 CD-ROM, I almost sent for it just so I could start programing IPAS (as soon as I got the SDK). Is Metaware High C now the only C compiler that will work with IPAS? Do I…
I would like to buy a fish license for my pet halibut Eric……
John You're 100 percent right. But just so you know, I don't expect much in the way of 'Free Stuff" [ you can't blame a guy for trying 😉 ] In my last note, I was simply attempting to clarify my intentions. I know that it will take time, as…
>should be: >"I work all night and I work all day…" 🙂 only the lucky ones 😉
Ok John, I'll send em out as fast as I make em' 🙂 By the way….. This isn't really A COMMERCIAL VENTURE, I'm just trying to help 3D Studio users help themselves, and maybe have a little fun and learn something to boot. There is great deal of collective knowledge…
Ok… on three "I'm a renderer and I'm OK, I work all night and I sleep all day….."
6 Hours of work. Wow! It shows. Looking forward to your CD. Thanks, -David
Kevin I wish I could count, on my fingers and toes, the amount of times I've be burnt in my life. But I try to keep a "Happy Face" as much as possible. If I let myself get too jaded then the bastards would have won (as far as I'm…
OK John, You talked me into it. I'll be adding a SLIP/PPP account next month. Thanks -David PS Is there way you could help out with 3D/XP? Would you be interested in my reviewing your products? Do you have any ideas that might make this project go more smoothly? What…
The schedule for the first issue depends on how fast the contributions come rolling in. So far it seems as if quite a few people are working on things for inclusion in 3D/XP but I've yet to see anything. I know 3D Studio users are a busy lot so I've…

Well that's some thread on copyright we got going, I'm learning quite a bit. But on to more serious matters (animation) I've just been playing with your Roach, it is really terrific looking. My question is …. Do you have any resources for insect motion studies? I do much better…

Message #135039
Wow…Thank you… I just sent a message about PR, open my next message (called copyright) and .. all I can say is THANK YOU. As for the letter that I was writing when we met… It was, more or less, an introduction, which, under the circumstances, was no longer necessary.…
Sometimes the scariest things are the best ; ) -David
Hey Kevin…. IF I needed some kind or PR, what would you have in mind…. Thanks -David
I just saw some of work in the new Computer Graphics World, amazing. The actual final format of 3D/XP is still under consideration. I would like to format it similar to 3D Studio Special Effects but also include question and answers, simple tips and tricks, interviews, product reviews, art, animation…
John The only experience with the internet that I have is with my own service provider. (I've only been 'surfin for about two months now) I have a text shell account (for the moment , that's it). When I talked about transfer speed, of course I meant to the host…
Thanks for your corrections on my internet note…. I knew I was close but I wasn't sure. As far as the 3dstudio@autodesk.com mailing list goes, you are absolutely right, it is fantastic. I learn a lot of cool tips and other useful information there, I'd recommend it highly. BTW on…
My pleasure, any time. -David
John Thanks for all the info on copyright, this thread has turned out to be one of the most informative I've seen here (I'm not totally sure how MIRAGE FX got turned into a serious copyright / distribution discussion, but I very happy that it did) Thanks Again – David…
I'd love to see some of your work. Anything you could contribute to 3D/XP would be much appreciated (be it articles, images, animations, tips, ideas, etc). Looking forword to hearing (and seeing) more from you Regards and thanks -David Camp
Get "Internet Unleashed" from "SAMS PUBLISHING" by various authors. It is a great book and comes with terrific software. Bye -David
There are several kinds of internet access accounts. The graphical interface is called a "SLIP" or "PPP" account. With these kinds of connections your computer becomes it's own separate node on the internet. The other approach is to have what is known as a shell account. The way this works…

Sanford Kennedy's concerns about copyright a valid and important. If anyone is preparing a submission for 3D/XP (or any other publication) then maybe you should print out a hard copy (with copyright notice) contact the Library of Congress for the proper forms and send the submission via "snail mail" to…
