David, thanks, I'm just back from vacation and will try your tips as soon as I can, but I believe some of those I already tried.
>>>>There's NO way you can assign anything IRQ 0 — it's a reserved IRQ (as you've found). I discovered, when installing my 3Com Etherlink III PCI network adapter that in order to keep it from auto-installing itself to IRQ 9 (which was causing problems), I had to go into the…
Emmanuel, Verkoop je nu al jouw PAR??? Heb je al een PVR besteld??? waar en aan welke prijs. Geen problemen met de installatie, omdat veel PCI bus systemen over de CPU komen. Mij Pentium 60 zou normaal geen probleem mogen zijn maar dat is een uitzondering, want alle andere PC's…

Penello IPAS and MAX
Message #190684
Does anyone know if there will be an upgrade from Penello IPAS to 3DS MAX???
#Recommend SCSI/PVR Drive
Message #188729
What are the recommended harddrives for use with the PVR. I'm about to purchase a 4.2 GB drive for use as storage at this time, but when time gets right I might upgrade from PAR to PVR and thus want to buy the drive so I can maybe use it…
I have been waiting to buy a new PC for some time. I was planning on ordering in September, probably a dual 133 Mhz Pentium with NT installed. However due to the announced release period for 3DS MAX, I will wait until then to buy a new PC, meaning first…
Ok, I'll give it a try, hope it works out alright, so I'll do a Photoshop Blur, or try using just one field. Christophe
#URGENT HELP w. 24Hours
Message #187231
I have a problem with my PAR, I need to do the follwing: I have to put a simplified architectural plan onto Betacam SP for Television. The image is a PAR still, image. I get a lot of flicker on the Horizontal Lines, which bothers me and might not suffice…
To go from acad to 3DS, I suggest you look at the following export variable: FACETRES, which changes the mesh resolution when exprting from ACAD13, and this is especially true for all curved or bend objects. I have been using this for a couple of months, only in the beginning…

Gosh I'm curious, and have a lot of questions, guess I will have to wait 4 more weeks. Christophe
LenzFX Heap Error???
Message #179237
David, I have just got LenzFX installed since last week, Michele Bousquet brought it with her for me last week. When I however use LenzFX, I get a heap error reading when I leave 3DS, just when I am out, any comments?? Christophe
I believe it is PAL
>>Do you find that desinging in AutoCAD is easier because you are more familar with it than 3DS? Well I am familiar with both, but if I need to integrate Visualisation of Buildings with construction and design plans then I need to do the real modelling out of 3DS, just…
Yes you are right 3DS is not suited for the design process it mearly illustrates the design afterwards. I however do design straight in ACAD13 at this time even sometimes in 3D using ACIS solid modelling and this does give fast results. We have to remember that 3DS is mainly…
>>I have found the programs we have available (ACAD, 3DS) to really get in the way… They require too much planning/administration of the process and are not intuitive enough, too technical, too many steps to get to a reasonably complicated massing (especially in 3DS), etc. So, in other words, we…
Thanks a lot, I've informed mysself about availability, and already have info, will go and see a demo of the program next week. In the meantime, could you explain in short words some of the basic techniques used in this program Christophe

Dual Processor Boards
Message #175342
I am having the same decision to make as you, well after doing some searching I think I will be going for 2 PC's innstead of one dual, however in my case I only need one extra screen. I think I will wait for the Penyium 150, the 133 is…
I was thinking the same, but does Macromedia Director run under Windows, is it not a MAC program. If it is for MAC it is useless to me I have no MAC available.
>>>Everything I have animated has undergone some change to the architecture after the animation has been presented to the client.>This puts all of my animation work somewhere in the design process be it at concept or design development.>I definitely have to disagree as I am sitting here scratching my head…
I understand what you say, but one thing is blocking some things of what you want to do. That is money, you will find very few people that will pay for a world that does not exist in reallity at this time, only the game developpers. I guess they should…
Please specify more. What program do you exactly mean by "director" ???? Christophe
Need urgent Advice
Message #175154
I have been asked several times, these last 2 months If I could place animations a.s.o. on CD-ROM. Well I am looking for a program that would allow me to create an executable, which I could "execute from a Windows Icon. I would have to be able to create the…

Architectural imaginings
Message #175153
>>So many who create architecture in 3DS are doing so either subordinately as mere background for something esle they're creating, or are simply plugging in someone else's designs for an architectural visualization they're doing for someone else. Yet, surprisingly few are pursuing CG animations and modeling to promote the art…
Thanks I'll read this when I get the time
Could you tell me and maybe everyone else how you got the PAR to work under WIN95. Since most of us will probably end up using WIN95, I am curious??? Christophe Van Oyen
I will try out your settings, but I will have to wait until it is available in the libraries. However I will check out what you say, maybe one thing: Did you assign the Automatic reflections to the object, because if so It will not work, you have to assign…
>>The real problem I am having is with assigning a reflective material to the cubes using the automatic reflection mapping. The reflective cubes to not show the reflection of any of the adjacent cubes. Instead the cubes appear to be opaque. When I use the Render/Setup/Make.CUB command it makes all…
Sorry to say but Acd13 for DOS is also in some functions considerably slower then R12 and I can say even R12 was well usable under windows if you have good graphics drivers. Just to say this, memory usage for Acad13 does not seem to be 100% perfect at this…
Since you seem to be the product manager for AS. I would like to ask you a specific question: Please make the Personal Animation Recorder supported. So that we can read the files directly off it, just like Razor Pro does. I have tried it but it dloes not work,…
There will be a special release of Acad for WIN95. It seems it does not work with Win95 at this time to my knowledge. Better ask in Acad Forum

Sony on CIS??

NEED HELP HOPELESS
Message #170757
Does anyone know of a representative of SONY on Compuserve or the INTERNET (address a.s.o), rather someone with International influence in the Sony corporation. Why: My MO 128 under waranty has gone broke around end february, got it in for repair 6th of March in Belgium. Half April I started…
"a Dual Pentium 120 system" At this time the 120Mhz chip does not support multiprocessors in one machine, you will have to wait until the end of the year as far as I kow until those chips will be available, unless some motherboard manufacturers find a way around it. It…
That is great news for us European users
However I do find Animator Studio quite good, although I'd like to see PAR support etc… It does do most Animator Studio does and has great paint and picture editing capabilities etc…
Brick Eksten 74041,2043
Nope have not tried that but I know someone who probably did. However tell Brick Eksten from, he will probably know more. Christophe
Well, I have Animator Studio on my machine since 2 days ago, due to the fact I was on a Fair Stand with Autodesk Belgium, to present Architectural Visualisation and on that fair Animator Studio was shown as It was just released. At first when I saw it 2 months…
#Anim.Studio and PAR
Message #167074
Will there be PAR support for Animator Studio It would be great if a driver to do that would be available as it is as of this time this is not the case. At first when I saw this program I was not very enthousiastic about it. But know I…
I asked about this about 6 months ago in the BP-Forum (Broadcast Pro.) I was told that 2.8 would be the right value for PAL if measured correctly. However it is also not absolute one can use what one likes. I mostly use 2.5 setting with PAR.

I'm about to purchase a new PC after getting rid of our 3rd 486/33 PC. I have been looking at the new 120 Pentiums. Has anyone already tested 3DS on such a system with the new EDO memory SIMMS???? I am looking at the Dell XPS120C with the Triton Intel…

About the windows problem with backup I have no clue why. However copying to your D: drive as TGA's, is easy to solve just put your PAR software in PAR mode then it will export the ANI files as 1 large ANI file, if you put the PAR in TGA…
Well first of all the PAR is not from BCD but from DPS. US dollars PAR prices: +/- 1.995 but sometimes lower 1795 etc…. (NTSC) Capture card: +/- 999 but sometimes lower 899 etc… (NTSC) Razor Pro: +/- 750 (andf for using that you will best buy a good soundcard.…
Jamie is the 1.0d version available with dealers yet. Also is there no better way for us in Europe to upgrade then phoning to your BBS in the US??? It is kind of expensif you know to that kind of phioe calls. Which are your most recommended dealers, even in…
I was told by DPS that new drives are on the way for the PAR this year, and Brick eksten told me that we might get to the point of nearing 3/1 compression ratios even with the IDE drives that are supposed to be available at least by the end…
Yes I do think the problem is the same, because My drive was nearly full and everything I tried to add got corrupted to at the same frame. Meaning the drive was unusable further then that point at least at the Block factor used at that time. If I however…
You should use PARDRVP, the 1.50 install does let you choose between PAL and NTSC so the right driver is automatically installed. However the NTSC MCI showing seems to be just avisual bug because everything works and plays OK under windows. I will E-mail Brick Eksten about this myself, I…
Hearing this I would say your problem is related to the drive being nearly full you can not use it 100%. I have a 1.7GB Micropolis and I can use it up until 1.3 to 1.4GB full after that animations tend not to play perfect anymore and give problems. However…
