I would recommend going to winnt. It is more stable and a full 32bit OS. I use both WINNT and I was a beta tester for Windows 95. I like the new look and feel of 95 but NT is the one for me. I am running NT at home…
#3DS MAX ON NT ALPHA?
Message #185241
Will there be a version of MAX on WINNT ALPHA and if so will it be available at the same time as the Intel version? Also will the pricing be higher for ALPHA plug-in versions? Thanks Will
The Shell is pretty buggy as you said and is sluggesh on my Dell 486Dx 66 with 16MB. On my Alpha 233 at home it ran pretty well but I will wait until the full product. Will
It is the other way around. Win95 apps must be able to run on NT in odrer to get the Win95 logo on the box. Will
No what I am saying is that only a couple of us can afford a BMW but most do just fine with an accord. Lets just hope the the IPAS pricing doesn't get carried away. Will
#The next 3DS- MAX
Message #184543
I use 3DS R4 but IPAS pricing has bee insane I think you get more bang for the buck in LW well just have to wait and see what the full product does. Will
Don't count lightwave out yet. Lightwave has most of the plug-ins that 3DS is now including with MAX plus the XOAS tools and Elastic Reality's (hIIP) plug-in that with be bundled the full version of it's product. As much as I love 3D Studio I will still have to switch…
NT will not run on a SGI machine because it dooes not have an ARC compliant screen.
yes I did. Sorry Will
Is it true that EI does not have a modeler? If so do you use it as a renderer and why pay $8000 for it. Thanks Will

Lightwave VS 3D Studio
Message #12376
Yeah I have also thought of that scenario as well. Thanks! Will
I think lightwave 4.0 has IK built in already? My delema is should I sell my 3DS and get lightwave?] Will
Fastest Video Card ?
Message #170756
Thanks for the info! Will
The Number 9 GXE Pro 64 is the Equivalent as The Diamond Stealth as for as the hardware compatabilty list in NT 3.5 the both do the same resolutions. They both use the S928 chip as well. Will
Thanks. Will
I bought an ALPHA station from NEKO tech but still don't have the 3d software to test it out. Windows NT runs pretty well though. Will
Thanks Again Tim. Will
Thanks I hope they do.
Basically I like Special FX & Character animations but I also do some freelancing by creating logos for companies. I would love a raytracing program but I understand that the trade off is rendering time. Lightwave seems to offer the same capabilities as 3DS but it seems to me that…
#Rendering on Dual P5 120
Message #170180
Well then It's Lightwave 4.0 and Animation Master for Me. I downloaded a Real3D v2.4 demo from a FTP site (avalon.chinalake.navy.mil) but it seems to have to much going on in the interface. P.S I like the examples you had on the 3D Studio Special FX book. Will
Thanks anyway! Will
#Lightwave VS 3D Studio
Message #12025
I am a 3D Studio user and am considering to sell it to buy Lightwave 4.0 for my ALPHA machine. Is this a wise choice? What are the differences between the two, also advantages and disadvantages. Will

#Raytracer other than Ray
Message #169725
Will 3DS ever come with raytracing or is there an agreement between the makers of Rayman and Autodesk? Will
I found it giving me problems while trying to run the KPT and Lenzfx demo ipas's because they needed high resolution.(800×600 16.7) That's were it would crash on me. in a 256 color set up it was ok. The machine I use at work is a Dx66 16MB PC. I…
I did not know about 3ds, Thanks Any how it is a great show, I know it is more for kids but I find myself recording it every SAT. =) Will
Iwould probrably say SGI just because the Powermacs are going to have PCI bus slots and run NT very soon. Will
I think its a company named BLT they are based in Canada. They use Softimage Will
I am BETA testing WIN95 at work and Also running WINNT on the same system,as well as on my ALPHA machine at home. Win95 is way better than 3X but in order to get the best results in 3DS4 I will always have to restart in DOS mode. NT is…
OK! Will
#NT 3DS
Message #161206
Hello Jonas, If I were to buy a NetPower MIPS machine will R5 run on it.
Its on ABC 9:30Am on sat. SGI's And Softimage are the tools used.
You Are correct. Softimage ans SGI's Are the tool
I am just shopping around right know I called a company called Neko (603) 926-0300 they gave me some good prices on some ALPHAS but They are almost as much as the INDY'S. Also Netpower has some pretty good MIPS machines I just want something powerful enough to get the…
To Have A total 3D pipeline and GL is much faster on SGI. If I were to get a INDY then Playmation or Lightwave. Maybe sometime in the near future 3DS will do the Same. Will
Thanks anyway, Should I expect to hear info at NAB?
Would it be worth leaving 3ds and buying an SGI machine to run AM and later on Lghtwave 3D and then hope for 3DS to port a full version to SGI. Will
When R5 is released will it run on Alphas and MIPS machines? If so I want to Buy a NETPOWER mips machine to run R5 it comes with NT wrkStn 3.5. Also will my currnet lock work with this systems port, or will a new one be issued for different…
How is Am compared to 3DS?
Does your dongle fit on top of the 3D studio one. If tha's the case I have a dongle for 3ds,liquid Speed and then Animation master. if 3DS5 has spline modeling is there a use for Animation Master? The demo reel for AM is pretty cool but the 3DS siggraph…
Will the Yost group disk #6 produce spline models like playmation or should I just invest in playmation? Will
Yeah I just recieved a quote from Carrera Computers they wanted 10K for thier alpha 275. I can get a low level indy with 32megs 1gb hd and 17" monitor for 6,400
#AUDIO IPAS & HW LOCK
Message #155295
HELLO! A couple of wishlist items 1: An audio ipas that will let you sync with a character. 2: another option other than a hardware lock, example calling autodesk for a confirmation #, similar to schreiber with thier IPAS'on the puppeteer cd. 3: Hardware support for accelarator cards 4: 3DS…
It's is up to Autodesk to consider making 3ds for NT not only for the Intel but MIPS,AlPHA. I am considering buying an SGI INDY or an NEC RISC station but am but on hold until we get the specs for 3ds on NT. Am I going to far by…
