After about 7pm LOL Matt, Or just get it to make sure you have sent replies before you sleep! -Mike Allen
oh bugger LOL Forgot to check that one, I was tired etc! 🙂 Matt -Mike Allen
erm, it may do, I'm still using the Shareware version (waiting for the real thing to be delivered). The main benefits for Nav-Cis are speel checking and ease of use. Nav-Cis is far more user freindly than Cis-Nav. If you go to the Duvorak forum here on CIS you can…
UG! thats fast, would make a even better modem for Nav-Cis, I have found its inmposible to read the txt go past at 28' LOL Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Great Idea, problem is I'd just end up treading on them! Better just to move the desk away from the wall, I have to do that other wise I would be sitting about 2 inches away from the 17" moniter, eye strain or what? 🙂 Matt. -Mike Allen
I've got two dongles and no problems apart from the machine having to sit a foot away from the wall! Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Whoee! spelt Wally or is it Wan***? Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
In in the UK, so I'll have to wait, 56,000 = 5.6K is that right? or is it 56k? Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Joe should be a 3D's user ! he fits the stereotype. Don't tell the others I said that ROFL 🙂 have you built any meshes yet Ann? Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
What you would see is… Bearded people swearing and moaning at innocent PC's, blaming everyone for using the manuals and not putting them back. And writing loads of questions for this forum hoping somebody else knows how to do it. I do all the above except I dont have a…
Good point, but my stills are just for general pleasure, if people want a Hi-Res TGA I'll send it on if they ask. Over 600 people have downloaded a 33K still of DS9 in the SCIFI/MDIA forum in the last few weeks, If I had put up the original 2.25…
ISDN, (might have a different name in the states) are digital lines that work with the next generation of Modems, they are far faster. In the UK, London will have a ISDN line by January, I think they move about 6K+ a second hence 3x faster than my 28,000!!!!! Hope…
>> Difference is remarkable when working with the size library files the AMMEDIA folks tend to upload.
Hay you mean that we (I) in London have a 28 and areas of the US don't? Wow CIS must like us brits! Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Try Nav-Cis Bill, its amazing! I downloaded it from the Duvorak forum about 20 days ago and it must have made me 1000% more productive and cut my bills by 80%!!!!. I to have noticed a slow down in WinCIM, and I have a 28,000 modem! Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Here here, (Clap off hands) Render a TGA, then convert to JPG in Photoshop and place on the net, No-one downloads 2.25 meg TGA's but everyone will have a peek at a JPG of 200K or less LOL Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
I'm bit of a fan of JPG's, I compressed a 2.25 meg Targa down to 33K and it don't look to bad (DS9 still on Showcase), for plonking loads of Stills on one floppy or on the WWW or CIS, Jpegs are the best thing ever! Matt 🙂 Mind you…
John Stetzer really is the Big G? man he must be like Odo for deep Space nine LOL matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Do you just want the time it takes to renders the chevy at 1024? Let me know I have a P120, and I can send back the time matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
How about: Pentium without a bug LOL 🙂 matt. -Mike Allen
Back to the Shaper!
Message #191663
Erk!, I have no idea how to do this or if its possible but… A:Can you in any way get a 3D mesh in any form back to the shaper, e.g. the top faces etc? B:Once done can you then take it back and replace the top face with the…
Correct!, not 3D Studio alone… you need a PAR/PVR system, LenZFX, IPAS 6, Animator Studio, Photoshop etc… LOL Matt -Mike Allen
you could transport you car by boat though, kind of UPS it, so it is possible to get there although somewhat expensive, A better bet for "Car can't get there" is the Moon, Mars or Pluto! 🙂 Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Hi Joel, nice bio, For those of us in the dark e.g. (Matt and Greg), what do M&M do? Animation house etc, I have enjoyed your mail here for ages, and belong to the "Remember 3D Studio is a programme not a religion" club, Keep up the mail Matt n'…
Yes you may have 2800, but you have probably got more Pentiums in your office than I have teeth! LOL, P.S. London is now 28,000 and has ISDN in December! Matt 🙂 -Mike Allen
Top of mount Everest, now that'd be bit of a bugger to drive up ROFL, (Ow, my sides hurt!) 🙂 Matt… -Mike Allen
As in upgrada to Inferno etc, or $95 dollars to jsut fix the bug, how long can it take to make a green bound manual? perhaps they have word on a 286 🙂 Greg 🙂
Are you still selling the PAR ? Greg 🙂
Sorry Geert, Anything but English and I'm lost, I can speak American English, you know Freeway instead of road, sidewalk instead of pavement etc LOL, But my Dutch is a bit rusty, e.g. Non-exsistant, 🙂 Greetings from London by the way Greg 🙂
I dont have 1.6, I also have 1.3 after checking the original disk LOL, I had no idea at all of this problem as I dont put down to PAR etc yet, Do you have any idea when they are going to fix it Peter? Greg.
Animated Help for Max?
Message #191252
yep I know the big G's a clever guy, and all the little pixies in the north pole (Autodesk) are busy makig MAX the best thing ever, >>>> Learning 3D's is a big job, all those manuals, Inside 3D's etc, having to come here for all those little problems etc,…
Perhaps with that budget it might be better to get two machines in stead of one super PC, I have a P133 and a DX4 and 66, I build on the P133, but slave render on the other two, although they arn't networked just yet they soon will be, this…
Kieron, use of animator Studio or Animator pro can generate pal's in 256, if you render with the dither 256 button on you could also generate a 256 palatte, I have never had to do this but perhaps if you use Animator pro or Anim' Studio you could then make…
Yep same here, can never get the Hotspot and fall off right for the shineyness mapps, you either get no effect or a horrible sharp black falloff LOL, matt
?????? Ek think I have just spent to long on CIS, the characters have gone all funey ???? LOL, Matt 🙂 (I think I should have done German at school 🙂
Peter, this LenZFX problem, does it affect PAR and PVR? I have version 1.6. the that came out just before Inferno, and I'm about to get PAR or PVR (depending how cheap I can get a Par system now LOL), does the field problem stop me using lenZFX on a…
Ug!, for some reason every time I try to upload the examples WinCim crashes!, I can see about 50% then bang crash etc!, Mind you Inferno looks amazing, any idea how much it is, I have LenZFX 1, but I have not got any upgrade info from Digi' yet, Oh!,…
EK! Non Autodesk programme, I just use 3D's and its shows LOL I belong to the "keep adding and streching" school of building, not the "get it right in the shaper first time" matt
It's not fair, all these people with ACAD, have a massive advantage over us poor Studio'ers LOL. Anyone agree? Has anyone here ever tried to build to scale on 3D's, I really must learn ACAD some day 🙂 Matt 🙂
1,, Ambient Light or lots of Spots and Omni's that exclude any bits that would be over lit, for Instance each of the Ships in battle>jpg on the ASHOWCASE Forum have their own light or Lights. 2: Nebulas, well I draw the them in Photoshop for the stills and for…
LOL, London, I always thinks everyone heres American, I must stop doing that, 🙂 Do you use Autocad and its rendering products or 3D's for you anims? Do you have a PAR or PVR system yet? Reason for the Acad Q' is that Eric Peterson makes all his mesh or…
>>No plans at present. However, since we're now creating our own meshes, I'll be doing one of those for our stuff eventually. The gray areas about rights, originality, ownership, etc. on the PD meshes are not an issue with stuff we created from scratch.
Now that would be a Killer Ap' Someone could make a mint out of that one LOL, I just wish there was something that could make Planets to film level from scratch, or 3D wormholes, it took me hours just to make a LD still of one let alone make…
I never saw the video!, but it would probably nocked my socks off, The first truly amazing 16 Bit game I ever played was Virus on the Acorn Amd' Still perhaps a wonderful game, why the never put it on the PC bits me! What do you do now Grahame?…
ug! I'm stuck on what to suggest, unless your master 3D's disk have gone wrong somewere, do you have aspare copy or a freind that can lend you his/hers original disks, Have Autodesk suggested anything? If all this has fallaid it must be A: 3D Studio or B: the mother…
As a BBC man, remember the original Elite!, thats still one of the best games of all time, probaly the first 3D experince I had. Kind of a Star Wars revolution in the Games Industry, Matt 🙂 (go to Elite Level)
Liquid Squid only redraws the mesh faster on the editor, Keyframer etc, as far as I know it makes no differnce to rendering time, Ipas wise, if you don't go for squid, then LenZFX is bit of a must, I really starting to love it now, it hardly ever stumps…
Don't Acorn make the Archemidis now, I read in a magazine that theres big plans for that machine and that you can mulity process loads of chips on the same board and that it was going to take on SGI! Or perhaps I was dreaming, I really should take some…
Ug!, this sounds really wierd, perhaps reinstalling 3D's might help, did you reinstall any IPAS? Did you check the HD with scanddisk? Matt:)
Have you checked the Dongle, perhaps you have damaged it, or the port when you upgraded,? Or the DS card could be causing some sort of Interfernce, I had a devil of a time trying to get it working when I upgraded, what driver are you using? Are the Drives…
