Hi Jerry, search for the keyword AUTODESK. There is a site at an university in germany which offers 3DS meshes and textures. I am sure, you will find it. Claus
Hi Mike! >>Let me know if you're interested.
Hi Gary, hi martin! I had the same problem last week. I made an animation through a complete supermarket. I think, I solved the problem that way: If you are opening 3DS without a project, you receive a message at the ground-line: _186 material loaded from library_. Most of them…
>>possibly. I'd like to upgrade my 32mb Simms (60 units) to 128mb Simms (15 units) at no charge. Is that possible? Hey, I'll even buy the 16th 128mb simm since you need to use them in pairs .
>>quite right. I would turn off memory managers but for the fact all my machines have 128mb + of RAM.
Hi Marty, I can only give you an example of my network: 1 Pentium 90, 8 MB RAM, PCI 3Com netcard as Server 2 Pentium 90, 40 MB RAM, PCI 3Com netcard as network-renderer 1 Pentium 90, 40 MB RAM, PCI 3Com netcard as network-renderer and the PVR with doughter…
Hi Paul, be sure, that all of the net-rendering machines are rendering to NULL and not to SCREEN (check 3DSNET.SET files of all machines) . So all machines will render the same size and color deep as you mean. May be that some of your renders actually another color deep…
Hi Randy, take a look at the 3DS manual at the topic of rendering-palette. I always generate a little flic-file by rendering every 30th or 50th frame at a _middle_ or _high_ palette and control the colours by viewing the flic frame by frame. For the finish flic rendering, I…
Hi Kenneth, I am just waiting for the harddrives and premiere 4.0a for my PVR. Hope it will arrive this week, so I can tell you something from this side later. The manual of the PVR says, that it only works with the version Premiere 4.0a! Claus Diekmann
Hi Dan, do you have the same problem with smaller resolutions? I am using wfw 3.11 since I installed NT just for playing around (I thing it is the time for muliple operating systems on a workstation. Using always the best OS for the current job). Plotting TGA-Images from 3DS…
Hi Gregory, >>The reason I prefer the AT- Vista is that it will show me a 720×486 image on the display while net- rendering so that I can see what is going on before it's too late!
Hi Chris, it is realy easy: Wait until 3DS MAX is available. At this time, most components are cheaper. Yost Group said something about January or first quartal in 96. Why break down your brain now? Of course, a little more ram makes wonder… 😉 Greeting Claus Diekmann
PVR Video Res. VHS
Message #188912
Hi there, in the next three weeks, I have to render an animation to a VHS-video. For this job I installed a little WfW 3.11 render-network. The PVR with the captureboard has arrived last week but isn't installed yet because of a fast job over the weekend. So, i don't…
Hi Christophe, in the manual of the PVR are only the special AV drives from MICROPOLIS and SEAGATE recommended. regards Claus Diekmann

Hi Jonas, I read the following too: >>All 3D Studio R4 customers, including those who purchase the product between now and 3D Studio MAX's ship date, will be able to purchase a 3D Studio MAX seat for a suggested retail price (SRP) of US$495.
Hi Terry, I have installed my HP3C two weeks ago and I can't tell you about any problems. In the package was an SCSI-interface card included. I wondered about this because I want to plug it into my SCSI chain. But I was much happy about the card two minutes…
Hi Dave and all others, my tip for brick walls is the texture-CD _GERMAN_BAUSTOFF_. Sure, it is a funny title, but cost about 200,- DM (nearly 150,- $) but all the textures are in good quality and they are tileable. Thanks for listening… (g) Claus
#PAR or FAST
Message #178981
Hi, I am in need to render the next jobs to video. I am sure, here are some gently people, who can tell me, which is the better system: FAST SCREEN MASHINE and the DPR or PAR ? Any hints are welcome Claus
Hi Terry, please let me do two questions first: 1) What is the theme of the work / art? 2) I am working in germany. Is this a problem? Thanx for your friendly answer. Greetings AGENTUR FUR COMPUTERGRAPHIK Claus Diekmann
>> Therefore, users who select Win NT (such as 3DS NT users in several months)
Hi Jonas, I am just joining this forum some days, so I don't be sure, my wishes were send by users before. But before I never get this chance again, here are my wishes: 1. a raytracer 2. an option to stop rendering, saving and start up another time. 3.…
Hi Mitch, I had the same problem last week. Now I am using the dongle on the other LPT. Hope its same easy for you 😉 Claus
Hi Mark, are you realy sure, you have enough space on your harddisk. And if it is, do you have the swapfile on the same disk on that you like to save the file? May be, your DOS shows enough space, but while using 3ds the swapfile needs the most…
Thank you for the tip. I will try it at the next job. (have never used the command line rendering bevor) 😉 thanks again Claus Diekmann
Hi Robert, thank you for your answer. In the actual case, i have to make a picture like 4 x 1 meter. The photoshop who prints the picture is able to scale the borders to double size without loosing qualility. The print-quality has to be 80 lines/cm. So i think…
#Big Pictures

Hi there, this is the first time for me on this board, and i hope, someone can help me. Often i am rendering for architects, who like to have very big pictures like 4 – 6 x 2 meters in good quality. Is it possible to render more than 9999…
