HDTV
Message #96275
What about creating animations for HDTV. Does anyone have experience in this, just curious??
I'll copy them here: Answer 1: PCI is faster then VLB, VBL is faster then EISA, EISA is faster then ISA This is just a simple way to look at it and alot depends on the type of cards used(ie bus mastering). ISA slots take only ISA 8/16 bit cards…
I'm waiting to, and October is also what I was told (at the earliest they said), at first they told me June/July. Although I'm in no hurry, it would be nice to get a good date? Christophe Van Oyen, (waiting in Belgium….)
You have no idea where I could find the right formula build up for PAL??? Any one with experience or knowledge on this is welcome Christophe
Although I'm not in the UK, I'm interested. I live in Belgium (Bruges) Christophe
#Aspect Ratio
Message #95102
I'm putting my first steps in animation with a Targa+ 32 PAL. 1. I wonder if I render an animation to disk if I should use the Targa RDPADI or render through the NULL device? 2. Secondly I have a question about the aspect ratio, I render at 512×576 (32bit)…

Sorry All those reading this have been fooled. 1 April you know, happens to be my birthday (no joke) 🙂 Christophe
Yes of course I'm looking for advice, on Cserve and with a professional Sony dealer who owns a betacamSP studio and is going digital SP, however there are not a lot of people around with experience to put computer animation to tape you know, even they don't know much about…
John, could you care telling me what a transcoder really is, I paln on buying my first animation setup with a second hand Targa+32 PAL, a second hand DQ422 and a new UVW1800 PAL or PVW2800 PAL. I know I cannot connect the Targa RGBsync cable to the R-Y, B-Y…
In the config.sys, try putting the statement emm386.exe ram highscan. try also loadhigh statements in autoexec.bat. lh c:\os\keyb be,,c:\os\keyboard.sys lh c:\os\mouse.com /y lh c:\os\smartdrv.exe e 1024 512 /q lh c:\os\share.exe /l:500 this is what I've got in my Autoexec

ben, The PAR is a JPEG real time playback board from Digital Processing Systems. You render your TGA's and put them on a dedicated PAR harddrive inenhanced JPEG format. Then you can play them real time, and so eliminating the need of Frame by Frame. Christophe
SIMMS
Message #87559
I have 2 16MB 32Bit SIMMs in a VLB/ISA PC. I would like to swap this memory with other PC's: I was told that I can not swap this with an PCI/EISA configuration because EISA needs other kind of SIMMs. However can I swap them with a PCI/ISA setup???
#PCI/ISA – PCI/EISA
Message #87555
I have two questions concerning PCI Penium machines: 1. Is there a difference in working speed and performance between a mixed PCI/EISA and a mixed PCI/ISA slot. will a PCI fit in both as good as possible, will an EISA card fit in a PCI/ISA slot??? will an ISA card…
So you think memory is in away being stolen by other things happening in my PC from 3DS. Is this right?? However I have still this to say, when rendering the supposed 6MB project file at certain levels, current status says after the rendering: 17.xxx MB used of memory swap…
I do not know if you still remember that I posted a message a few months ago, that when I saved a prj. file a few times the computer rebooted during the save, resulting in total data loss. You pointed me to the HD controller as well. The problem never…
It does not happen when I choose a different resolution or color depth. My setup is driver=Vibrant The Board I choose is ATI Ultra plus, although this is not exactly what I have in my machine, it are ATI chips implemented on the motherboard by Olivetti with 1MB of video…
I did have a seemingly similar problem, although I have no network. Green an black dots and stripes at the top of the screen when doing a large rendering, it always happened when I put raytracing shadows as the global setting. The project file was about 6MB, I had 100MB…
#RCPADI
Message #78841
I use both the Vibrant drivers and the RCPADI, Vibrant with a Build in Mach32 from ATI and RCPADI with a SPEA graphiti Hilite for 1280x1024x256 colors, this RCPADI is the same I used with release 2, dating from July 93. It seems to work quite well with r3. I…

ara, the AXP is the Alpha processor, seems to be the fastest processor around these days but does not run DOS applications but with Windows NT, this problem should gradually go away. Christophe
You got all the best stuff?? Can I get all those things from you, I sure am interested in a lot of that stuff, I've already got some, but I'm really short of furniture, I did most of what I've got myself, can you give a list over Cserve. Christophe,
Keep working on your dutch. The title you talked about, It had me grabbing for my English Dictionary, Because of I learned a new English word. If this is well translated it says "kiss of the ones doomed to oblivion". I'm not sure this is exactly right and it is…
Flemish is Dutch, just a little difference in accent like the difference between an Australian and an American speaking English. I do not use a spelling checker, I just write and speak quite good English, mainly because as a small country we have so many different language TV channels available:…
Take your break, you've earned it. BTW I speak the language you forgot: dutch not french. I live Bruges the Flanders region where dutch is spoken. The biggest joke on what you said about Belgium and the strikes, is that a railway strike is going on at the moment even…
You want me to compile all you typed and said and upload as file in the What's New Library, Christophe,
Thanks for the answers so far, I still have a couple of questions but I'll keep them for next week. Have No time now.
#Best Video Solution
Message #64176
Here I am again, 1. First some questions about the DPS, Does rendering go straight to that drive in JPEG format, from 3DS R3 or do you have to create TGA's first on your normal hardrive (hope not mine is only 500MB) and use a different program to compile the…
Are you in the mind reading business now, because I was just thinking of placing a message to you on the forum. Congratulations on your dutch, do you mind if I correct this a bit although it is very good?? Main mistakes are in the grammar of the second sentence.…
#Sanyo
Message #63879
I'm also trying to find my way around to do animations for collegue architects who want moving images on tape. You said you have flyers on some of the US products like DPS a.s.o… Would you care sending a copy also to Europe, I'm trying to find equivalents here but…
Thanks for the info Martin Christophe,
#How many MB
Message #62053
I have a FLI 320×200, created as a test for an animation it is not for video output but has to stay on PC. Can Anyone tell me how many MBs I would need to create an FLC at the following resolutions: 640×480, 800×600 and 1024×768 The file at 320×200…
#Video Post
Message #61990
Is it possible to create 2 current entries in videopost each using a different camera. As to my knowledge in release 2 it is impossible, you would have to create at least an FLC or sequence of images for one of those entries and then load that one from disk…
#Modern 3D Furniture
Message #60319
Does anyone now off the existence of 3DS files of modern furniture, like the Barcelona chair from Mies Van de Rohe, Marcel Breuer famous chair, Le Corbusiers chairs, etc… . Does a CD-ROM exist with mainly modern furniture, or can anyone else help me to get some of those ???
How can I get the book with CD-ROM when its released?? Christophe Van Oyen, Belgium
Dag Michele, (just testing your dutch) Yeah I know the way to do it in the 3Dlofter (your book was off some help and quick to understand), however I've got the problem with dxf imported files, but I guess the problem could be similar if I used different snap mode…

A shiny white card in the 3Dstudio box, sorry not in mine, just the forms at the end of the installation and performance guide (Bug report, Image Search …) Maybe this is because I'm in Europe, however I'm also interested in those IPAS routines catalog. How can I get it…
ANI PRO
Message #54452
away from most of our meetings with the discinct impression that he was a master at telling tall tales. At one point in the mid to late '80s, he talked about working with ToddR, but I just put it off to boasting. Maybe I was wrong? Evan
Thanks for your advice, and keep on improving 3DS its a great program. Christophe
ANI PRO next Release

Hello, I'm planning to buy Animator Pro 1.3, I just want to know if in the next 6 months there will be or could be a new version coming out, if so I'll probably wait for the new version. What do you advise wait or buy now. Thanks a lot,…
I have the same problem when I am modelling a building in AutoCAD it is nearly impossible to keep track of drawing counterclockwise, I even gave up thinking about it it is to time consuming. If their is a program however within AutoCAD where you can select a bunch of…
Chris, Go to the ATI Forum GO ATITECH, then you'll have info about the last driver. I think the Last DLXPRESS driver for the ULTRA Pro is 2.12 version dating from Oct.6 1992 but a new one is coming soon. It's in prerelease stadium they told me. Christophe, Belgium
Thanks for your interesting reply. What is your idea about Microstation since you worked both on AutoCAD an Microstation, which is the better you think. I've seen many CAD programs but I only worked on 2 so far: AutoCAD and Arkey. Most architects overhere use AutoCAD, some use Architrion, and…

Message #53053
Yes I'm also an architect using 3Dstudio, I do everything from the start including the administration, designing to drawing the plans on AutoCAD, and if possible presenting the project with 3Dstudio (mostly only possible for larger projects). Where are you located? I'm trying to get work with 3Dstudio other then…
#3DS3 in Europe
Message #52695
Hi Guys, When will I be able to see 3DS R3 in Europe, its sounds smashing, but unfortunatly its a bit far for me to go to Siggraph. On which Fair will I be able to see it first as close to Belgium as possible ? Chr.v.o.
I have a SPEA card but not The SPEA FIRE, SPEA produces several kinds of boards. However I know someone who has got one.(there is a file in one of the sections of the Asoft forum I believe with technical info on the SPEA FIRE) types of SPEA boards: 1.…
Hi Greg, What would it cost to get the books you wrote to Europe (the set of 3, or 1 single of the 3), and can I order if I would want to buy them by E-mail ? By the way, I have a questiion for you, in one of…
Hi Greg, >> >> Why not >> TedB is far too intelligent to be associated with a group like that >> on a permanent basis, but I've heard that he will give >> presentations to us when he's in town! Could you explain to me what you mean by that,…
Why not, but we should'nt through all our collegues over the same shoulder, some of them are also good to work for. By the way what is a "charter member", what AIA ?? Christophe Van Oyen
