>I'm going to buy the new Video card from Matrox the MGA Millennium. It is the successor board of the MGA >impression+ card. I'm considering that, too. But the lack of DOS performance (no, I still can't do without…) kept me from going matrox. Any reports on the perfoemance of…
TrueSpc & gif/jpg
Message #12766
Regarding the Corel DXF-export problem: Try to export the DXF to the root directory of your harddisk. I don't know why, but it works for me (still a severe bug, but at least with a workaround…) Bye, Marc e-merge
Truespace 1.04 – How are you saving files as *.gif or *.jpg? Also with Corel 5.0 rev f the *.dxf files from Truespace are not imported correctly. Do you have any suggestions for that? I noticed that, too. But it's definetely a Corel bug. All my exported DXFs are set…
Hi Terry, is there a postal adress we could send our material to? If I logged in on your BBS to upload 500kB, it would cost me approx. 20$. I don't know whether my material is "publishable" yet, but sooner or later it will be… How can I order or…
ts 2.1 feature…
Message #12238
… if not implemented yet: A table where all keyframes and the associated actions are listed. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the tiny changes made to an object and to track them down when deleting keyframes.
>I am trying to build a 3-d self-portrait just for practice. I would like to see the result. Will you upload it to the forum when it's finished? Bye, Marc e-merge
Interering though, Mr. Obermueller told me at the CeBit that they were making prearrangements for informing customers on how to get the free upgrade. Until today, two e-mails to Mr. Obermueller were left unanswered. I am sorry to say, but in THIS particular matter (german support) I am disappointed with…
You may take the objects directly from the trueclips CD as well. nm_mgr04.cob combined with im_wmn1.cob The object I view thios scene through is in GRVENC: VISOR.OBJ Bye, Marc e-merge
The scene "only" contains one of the rooms from the trusclips CD plus a human mannequin. If this volume of data makes tS stutter, than I guess I will be facing massive disappointments in the near future when going for the first serious projects. Bye, Marc e-merge
>We have thought about adding object management through layers in the future. How important do you think >this would be compared to the other items on the wish list? Definitely important… This really would speed up working on more complex scenes. However, the different view modes are a step into…
>5 MB?? 10MB?? 4.8 MB The scene is not that complex. Bye, Marc e-merge
I will upload the "visor"-object as you suggested (GRVENC), so you can take a closer look (VISOR.OBJ). When I link a small view window with the camera and try to pan the camera *the smallest bit* tS needs at least 3-4 seconds to update the view. As I already said:…
I am running tS 1.04 on a Pentium 90 (32MB) with an Elsa Winner Pro 1000 (2MB) under Win95 (M8). (BTW: When rendering the scene, Win 95 creates a 70 Meg Swapfile… not bad (well, actually, this IS bad, but anyway )) The Elsa is not THAT slow… Bye, Marc…
Reducing the treshold does not do the trick, at least not completely. If I, for instance, look through a camera onto a complex scene and I wanted to adjust the camera's view, I need the camera to be the "active" object, which immediately will be transformed to boundary boxes (if…
What about "automatically aligning objects"? Right now, I am copying and pasting the coordinates from the object information window to achieve a proper alignment. Something like the Corel Draw Alignment Box (only in 3D) would be great. Another thing: I am missing a "primitive wireframe"-mode for faster arranging of complex…
>Why not use the lens flare in Premeire??? What version of Premiere are we talking of? If it's v1.1, what's the name of the lens flare filter? Am I missing something? Bye, Marc e-merge
#ts 2.0-faster wireframe?
Message #11861
Will v2.0 have faster wireframe reconstruction? Right now I am trying to move a camera through a more or less complex model and it takes 10-15 seconds to rebuild the wireframe everytime I nudge the camera just an inch. Annoying, somehow. Is there a switch to constantly force tS to…
Snail Movement (the 2nd)
Message #11732
I am trying to move an object in a "snail-like" movement. Therefore I create a simple deformation latice, set a keyframe for each end of the latice, skip to frame 12, move the front end of the lattice some inches, set a keyframe at frame 12 for the back end…
Snail movement
Message #11112
I don't get it… again I am trying to move an object in a "snail-like" movement. Therefore I create a simple deformation latice, set a keyframe for each end of the latice, skip to frame 12, move the front end of the lattice some inches, set a keyframe at frame…
