#renumber
Message #191033
I want to render an animation from 3D Studio using the "nth" frame option. This leaves me with non-sequentially numbered TGA files. Is there an IPAS or other routine that will renumber a list of images so that Animator Studio or the 3D Studio Video Post dialog will recognize all…
#Castoff All Command
Message #176249
Ok, we handle netware messages on network rendering stations by issuing the castoff all command before starting in slave mode. But on a station used to model, in 3D studio, how do we get network messages to show up on top of 3D Studio. They spook the user as they…
I received the CAVE schedule postcard, my 9 year old clued into it right away, and called Drew to make sure kids were allowed. Just wondered if you knew which if any of the four evenings would be better or easier to get into, given that I've the same luch…
Paul, Who told you that? 🙂 I will bring some tapes, but as you are aware we still don't have a tape transfer system: have to send it out of house or to our Orlando office. Still shopping, and wondering what to do next. . . hope to make your…

Are you network rendering? We have had a lot of problems with stripes and flickering. We traced it down to edited material mappings on a local station different than the network versions of these materials. Every tenth frame or so, the frames rendered on the one machine, would flicker. When…
Sounds like a graphic card/driver problem. We had similar problems until we received updated drivers from the card manufacture.
#clouds
Message #148504
I am having problems with 3D Studio network rendering. I am using the standard "noise_i.sxp" which ships with 3D Studio R4 to create a cloud-like texture which is assigned to a flattened dome over my model to simulate a sky. This is a very convincing way to make a sky…
Me too!
#pentium/60 vs 486/66
Message #81927
Has any one run time trials comparing 486/66's with Pentium 60's? I'm not getting much better performance out of the Pentium. Is there something special I have to do? Both systems have 32 megs of ram and the same graphics cards. One test ran 56 minutes on the pentium and…
I think your all looking in the wrong place. How is it that "your son's friend" can afford a $3000 program? Why do I ask? Well, a friend of mine got a boot leg copy of 3D Studio release 3 with a modified 3ds.exe file made with a program, SafeSoft,…
