Thanks to Jeff Dobrow and David Rhoten, another problem ruthlessly disposed of.
#Skeleton, Where are you?
Message #196237
I need a Skeleton mesh, I know there is one out there but I don't know who sells it. In the ideal world there would be medically accurate male and female meshes available, but that may be asking for too much. If anyone knows who produces a skeleton mesh can…
Its just a hobby. Good idea, safety in numbers. I might have to decide which day nearer the time. Let me E-mail you with further details. Speak to you soon. Gary McHale
Discussion of my views on this subject, so as to avoid offence, are avoided by driving sharp piercing instruments into the palms of my hands (just like Micheal Caine in the 'Ipcress File'). I know nothing about the petrol bombing. Apart from that I am pretty well balanced. Gary McHale
> Thanks David. I came across Nick Manning before, he seems to be a nice guy, but I get the impression that he is neck deep in company politics. He did come up with the goods eventually when I had problems upgrading from CDK1 to CDK2. I guess he is…
Ah!! Another potential MAX user in the UK. Have you heard anything about MAX release policy in the UK, e.g. whether or not there will be an upgrade path for people prepared to commit themselves prior to the release date (as in the US)? I have tried asking Autodesk UK,…
….but I suppose at Waikiki you have a better chance of coming across celebrity's like Hugh Grant.
No, no, no, I meant my comments might have been misguided. I supported your position. This is getting really confusing. I first came to your support on the issue of Forum users being able to criticise suppliers over problems that they might have had. I then got a reply from…
David, I don't know whether or not you got my comments to Anne Brown, I know this thread has got a little complicated. It was intended more in support of free speech (misguided ot not), rather than a criticism of your company. I hope that my comments were not misconstrued.…
Point taken. There have to be some standards (…I guess mine are a little on the low side as far as the profanities are concerned). Thanks for the hard work, it is appreciated. Gary McHale
Whoaaaaa, hang on a second. I am just about to insert the Win 95 CD ROM and my software bug guardian angel said "nooo, check the forum first, see if anyone is having problems", and there you are. I have the same card. Just one question, does it make any…
#LenzFX Object Problem
Message #167334
When I try and assign Aura 'Effect Area: By Object' I obtain the message "No appropriate objects". I am probably making a very simple error. Can anyone put be back on the right tracks? Thanks.
Thanks Angelo and Brian for your help. It might try using Animator Studio, I read the spec earlier this week, it looks quite powerful. "No! of course I am not buying more software darling! Its just a free upgrade". Just practicing the line. Gary M.
Thanks Brian and Jerry for your replies on converting *.FLC to *.AVI files. I just have one question. Who produces VidEdit, excuse my ignorance, I haven't heard of it before. Thanks. Gary M.
FLC to AVI?
Message #166347
Is there a way of converting FLC format files to AVI either using an off the shelf product of a toolkit? Thanks in advance. Gary M.
You should have got a WinG SDK disk with CDK R2. If you install this, it adds the wing32.dll for you. I think. Gary M.
I know that Rendermorphics are very keen on the GLINT processor. It is starting to appear in some graphics boards already, including one by Omnicomp. I bought one of their graphics accelerators on the back of their assertions that it is supported by Rendermorphics, and received graphics demo's from Rendermorphics…
Just for your information the company that developed Reality Lab (Rendermorphics), one of the 3D Graphics API's which supports CDK Relwase 2, have been bought out by Microsoft (whoever they are). My guess is that we will be seeing more of this product. Gary M.
Regarding R3 to R4 IPAS Toolkit Upgrade; thanks for your help Nick. I think Autodesk would lose a lot of customers if it wasn't for you guys on the Compuserve Forum. This appears to be the only channel by which we are able to get accurate and speedy replies to…
#R3 to R4 IPAS Toolkit
Message #162827
I posted a message here a couple of weeks ago with a question regarding upgrades for the R3 to the R4 versions of the 3D Studio File Toolkit and the IPAS Toolkit. The reply I received was that there wasn't a R4 version of the File Toolkit, but that there…
Thanks for the prompt reply.
#IPAS and File Toolkits
Message #160080
I have the IPAS and File Toolkits for Release 3. Do Release 4 versions exist yet? Is there an upgrade path from the Release 3 versions, or will I have to pay for the new releases in full? Thanks in advance. Gary M.
Worth Waiting For
Message #154578
I just wanted to thank you Kevin for your efforts in facilitating my upgrade from release 1 to release 2. I recommend anyone who has problems getting hold of this product to persevere, it is well worth waiting for. Gary M.
#All
Message #152112
Does anyone know how to contact Viewpoint (who produce BioVision sets)? I will be ringing from the UK, so I can't access the 0800 numbers. Thanks in advance. Gary M.
HSC software are releasing a Kai Power Tool's IPAS that should be available from them direct from the 15th of February. I think that it is very reasonably priced. Their number is (805) 566 6200, I spoke to someone there called Guy McCumber (extension 6264). There are a few examples…
Yes!!! And very quickly too. Thanks for your help David. I was really impressed with both your persistence and the speed with which you arranged for Mike to help me out. It turned out to be a problem that was quite easily rectified. It seems that it is likely to…
I know a little bit. The Glint processor from 3D Labs is just starting to appear on some OEM boards. Omnicomp say that they are shipping their board in about a couple of weeks. This is the first one that I have seen advertised that uses this processor. On paper…
#Bones Pro No Go
Message #151337
I have just bought a copy of Bones Pro. I have been following through the instructions. When I get to the point where I use Program/KXP Loader/BONES instead of the Bones Pro Dialog box appearing I get; BONES.RED Not Found then back out to the keyframer. In other words, I…
"Does this seem a feasible dream/goal?" Yeah!! Go for it. This is the start of a new entrepeneurial era. The equivalent of the Industrial Revolution and the Agricultural Revolution rolled into one. The opportunity of the decade to build something from scratch with a real future. From the spec, CDK2…
Potential UK CDK2 Users
Message #149243
Finally an answer; Kevin Yurika at Autodesk US tells me that the UK office have informed him that it might be ready for shipping in a "in a couple of weeks". Thanks Kevin.
Sorry to butt in. The ISBN number for "3D Studio: Special Effects" is 1-56205-303-5. There doesn't appear to be a single author, but if its any help the publishers address is: New Riders Publishing 201 West 103rd Street, Indianaoplis, IN 46290 USA Its an excellent publication.
UK Availability of CDK2
Message #149015
Hi, its me again. I seem to be making myself very unpopular with Autodesk staff trying to find out the UK release date of CDK version 2. Things are getting so bad that I am having to fax Autodesk staff Auotdesk press releases just to prove that it exists. At…
Thankyou for forwarding my question on the UK release date of CDK2.
#UK Availability of CDK2
Message #147736
Autodesk UK cannot tell me when CDK version 2 will be available in the UK, despite several requests. I am looking to upgrade from release 1. If I mention to them the possibility of upgrading through the US they hint at legal action. Not only will I have to pay…
Thanks for the prompt reply.
#No RAM for Attach
Message #140146
Using 3DSR4 Create, Object, Attach gave me a "ERROR: No RAM fo attach", when attempting to unify elements in a single object. I currently have 32 Mbytes, although I admit, it was a fairly complex object. Questions: (1) Is this a bug or a feature ? (2) I was considering…
