Look at me!
Message #193358
Mr. Major, I have a couple of images posted in "Computer Art, New Images". Take a look, my friend, and please any feedback is welcome. And as my grandfather used to say, "If it's ugly enough to look at, it's probably to tough to eat." chas
Video Card & 3DS & WB
Message #191658
If anyone, anyone is running 3DS and World Builder and they have a video card that is not causing too many problems, can you please send me a memo with the exact name of the card (company, card name, ram on board). I would really like to buy a card…
From what I can tell from the spec sheet, sound is recorded on a separate HD. NOT the dedicated HD. I guess you would sync them in a third-party program like Premiere or Razor Pro, but please don't quote me on that. The interface for the PAR or PVR might…

Hello David, I just caught the scissor's outline IPAS. Pretty interesting. I guess since your name is attached to the file, you probably are writing the program or you at least have some knowledge of how it functions? How does it work with materials? And can you change the outline…
Barry, I am in the same boat as you. Just about to buy a PVR actually. From what knowledge I have gleaned, rendering to a series of .TGA files will probably give you better output quality on tape. I guess you run 3DS but it probably doesn't matter what program…

Thanks for the reply Mark. I don't necessarily need a board with digital video capabilities unless it just comes with the board, because I am getting a PVR with its daughter card. I am a bit confused about the second part of your reply, "World Builder …." Are you saying…

Message #191004
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what video card is supported by 3DS and World Builder? I am in the process of building another system to net to my present one and I am having difficulties weeding my way through literature, which is full of promise, and hardware,…
raytracing, radiosity
Message #189927
Does anyone know of the possibilities of an IPAS that does raytracing and/or radiosity inside 3DS? Or any suggestions for a program that works with 3DS files and does a good job of raytracing? If so, how does it work as far as animated scenes go?
