Gee Charles, I'm real glad to hear of the revised results, being the owner of a PowerMac 🙂 Elsby
Jim, I need a very special sort of animation which is really too much for me. Also I am stuck with a VideoSpigot card which is too low-end for the quality I require for my video. I am hoping I can do a deal whereby those areas are done by…
Jim, Completely clear, thanks 🙂 Now that some time has passed though, I think it won't do any harm to go visit the Radius people & see what the situation is. I'll also give it a checkout with Povray as I have some samples with times for different machines. When…
Jim, Something you said earlier about rendering speed & cards/video. I have a NEC 4FG monitor on my PMAC 7100 & I also have the 24xp card installed. I used to have it on a IIvx & simply transferred it to the 7100 when I made the change. It works…
Jim, No, the book was definitely out of print: the best news about it (if you can call it that) was that the publisher was considering a reissue, but only considering. I tried my art stores to see what else might be around but they had nothing on animation. Are…
Dejan Thanks for the info. It's good to know there is a contact in the UK. Elsby
Lee, I agree with you completely. When my partner came back & said he had to leave the originals I raised exactly the same questions. Ah well, the deed, 'tis done now! Thanks again, Elsby
Jim, It's really not as bad as you think! I learned quite a bit from the tapes even if it involved a good deal of eyestrain. I no longer make holes all the way through Bob for example. That means I have learned about the behaviour of splines and patches.…
Lee, Thank you very much for your offer but I live in the UK! I couldn't possibly put you to such expense & anyway I no longer have the original NTSC tapes. The company which converted them kept the originals – they said they had to in order to comply…
Hey, I see from another message that you seem to be using Windows. I work on a PowerMac so I don't know if the problems are quite the same. However I too find the interface unfriendly and not at all Mac-like. The app is great but perhaps by trying to…
I'd like this update too! i.e. from 2.0.8a to 2.0.9 for the PowerMac (?) Elsby
Hi, I'm a new user of AM in N. Lincs. Just got the training tapes & am enthused again by the possibilities of this app. Elsby
Thank you for the welcome, Jim. Hmmm. I've spent some time this evening trying just about every file type I could think for a template but no luck. I'm sure I tried targa too! Anything else I should know about them, size, dimensions, etc.? Oh well back to the coalface!…
PMJI, Could you please explain templates a little more? What form must they be in to be imported. I am working on a Mac BTW. Elsby
