Robert, No, I saved the files directly to tape. -Dave
#PAR Restore problem
Message #194620
Anyone, I know how to make tape backups of PAR files but not how to restore them. I get an 'unable to create .ani file' message. I'm using Norton Backup. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I run C:\DPS_PAR\PARDRV /P , either. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave
#PAR PCI-bus
Message #169509
Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade to the PCI-bus PAR from the 16-bit version? -Dave Christian
Thanks, Jonas!
Thanks, Dave, I'll check it out. -Dave
Doug, Thanks for the PAR 'Join' info. You saved me some bucks! -Dave
#MGA Impression +
Message #165038
I'm running a r4 with a Matrox Impression Plus (2meg) PCI card on a Pentium 90 with 32 megs of memory. The Impression Plus renders beautifully but I'm unable to see the following: colors in the Gradient Define Box colors in Solid Color Define Box any image in Match Perspective…
#PAR/RAZOR question
Message #165037
I'm running 3DS r4 (the 'what happened to the Splines?' version) and rendering to a PAR. I'm about half finished creating a 90-second animation consisting of 25 independently rendered PAR animations. Eventually, I'll want to join those animations. I think the JOIN feature is poorly documented in all versions of…
Alden, Alpha On was the problem. Thanks. -Dave
John, Thanks. That was the problem! -Dave
Greg: I've written to you about this before but I've got the problem again. I'm using 3DS r4 with PAR software 1.5. The PAR passes all tests in the PARINIT program but when I try to record animation to it, I get a "write error on .TGA file" message. A…
#PAR – access denied
Message #158689
I'm having difficulty recording information to my PAR drive. Up until recently, everything has been great. For the last few days when I attempt to render to it, I get the message "Error writing to .TGA file". I've checked my setup, reseated the card and connections, used the old software…
I'd like the spline information, too. Thanks in advance.
MGA Impression Plus PCI
Message #138892
I just upgraded to a Pentium 90. The system came with an MGA Impression Plus video card with PCI bus. Is this card supported by drivers on the 3DS4 drivers list? (I'm having trouble getting it to recognize my card). Are the proper drivers somewhere here on the board? Thanks…
Silicon Garden changes
Message #91118
Jonas, I read in the current issue of Computer Pictures that registered users of Silicon Garden can download a new version of the software here on CServe. Is that true? I am a registered user. -Dave
Anaheim hotels
Message #49322
I, too, had no idea of where to stay in Anaheim. I guess AAA is helpful (but I'm not a member). However, if you are a member of Prodigy, JUMP:Mobil Travel and look under the Anaheim section. Lots of hotels at every price range. First place I called was able…
