#Buy Altamira Composer?
Message #120377
Hi. As a 3D Studio owner, I received a "special offer" to get Altamira Composer for the promotional price of $399. Has anyone got it, and would you recommend it? After a call to the company, the promotional price of $399 will probably expire after August… Decisions, decisions… Any input…
#HUMANOID? To buy or not?
Message #87115
Hi. I was wondering if the new HUMANOID human animation designer (ver 1) from Crestline Software is worth buying if I'm interested in the walking motion files for 3D Studio? The 3DS format became available ($195?) and has anyone, here, tried it? Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated.…
#'CARTOONize' IPAS?
Message #87114
Hi. I was wondering if there is a way – perhaps via an IPAS routine – to have a thin black line rendered around all faces/surfaces to mimmick an outlined, "cartoon look" for 3ds rendered objects? Any IPAS developers interested? Or, can this be achieved – with great tedium -…
Hi, David. I'll let you know if 3D SURF will read the 1:250,000 Scale DEM (ASCII) I ordered from American Digital Corp. for $60. I decided to try this "Medium Scale" Land Resolution before I try the 1:24,000 High Res. Scale ($250). The area I'm "playing" with only requires 1…

#3DS and USGS files
Message #41479
David and all, PMJI, Have you tried using Schreiber Instrument's 3D SURF IPAS for 3DS to read ASCII USGS DEM????? I'll be receiving an ASCII DEM file (from American Digital Corp.) and see how well 3D SURF will handle the USGS data… Do you think I can expect any surprises?…

MicroSolutions CD-ROM?
Message #44270
Hi. Can anyone tell me if MicroSolutions' CD-ROM drive is a good choice to buy? The feature that I like is: NO INTERFACE CARD. Their "backpack" concept allows you to just plug into any parallel port on any IBM-compat. Based on these specs: Max transfer rate is 150 KB/s Comes…

Successive Pixelpopping?
Message #13553
Does anyone know of a way to sequentially screen capture individual frames of a non-Autodesk animation IN REAL TIME using AAP's Pixelpop utility? Could a POCO routine be used to capture these frames every fraction of a second while the animation is running? Any information on this would be greatly…
#Amiga Animations to DOS?
Message #8187
I've recently discovered the Amiga Arts Forum on CIS from the latest issue of CompuServe Magazine (featuring Multimedia). Now that I'm interested in broadening my multi-platform horizons, how easy/hard is it to bring Amiga Animations into my DOS world using Animator PRO? I realize that I will have to use…

#Where are the FLC files?
Message #7810
Can someone please tell me where the animated demos/FLC library files are located? It has been since last summer – before the ADESK forum changed – that I used to find FLI files for downloading in it's own section. Where are the AAPRO FLC files currently located? Thanks. –Lisa
