AAS 1C1 Update – Where?
Message #196296
Dave, We chatted on Sept 6 about my not receiving my Animator Studio 1c1 update yet. It's now Oct 20, I faxed in my registration way back on July 22, and I still have not seen anything. Is there a CIS Number or Fax Number or something where I can…
Thanks Dave, The AAS registration will be under my business name of Li'l Chips Systems if you needed that to check on the update shiopping time-frame. Regards, David R. Green DG Studios Li'l Chips Systems
#AAS 1c1 and also AAS '95
Message #189447
Hi, A couple of quick questions for you: I faxed my Animator Studio 1c0 registration in almost 8 weeks ago (July 22 to be exact). What kind of time frame will I be looking at before I see the 1C1 upgrade in my igloo's mailbox? I am in Canada (hockey…
Paul, I like a lot of the ideas in the interface, features, capabilities, etc. It just has too many bugs and unfinished things. David
#AniStudio Disappointment
Message #178721
Hi,
Thanks for all the help Jonas. I'll check with my friendly adesk rep up here about A-Studio. David
Jonas, I pulled down Flip.zip and brought it into R2. The meshes lights cameras etc. come in fine, and so does keyframer info. The red metal material does a real nice number on the materials editor though – I get a different colored banded look every time I render the…
#R2 Video Drivers & more
Message #130714
Hi Jonas, Thanks for the quick response! Is the ADI driver you mentioned from Vibrant their DL-Xpress ADI Display-list package or an SVGA/VESA type ADI driver? As mentioned, I have the Vibrant DLXpress for my ATI VGA Wonder XL24, which is nice in that it gives me 24-bit render output,…
#R2 Video Drivers & more
Message #130611
Is Autodesk going to be coming out with a 32k color VESA ADI at some point for R2 (as opposed to the current 256 color only)? And don't tell me I have to go buy R3/R4 unless Autodesk US can get Autodesk Canada in line on their pricing (All 3DS…
#Panasonic ODR TQ-3031F
Message #124321
Hi, I recently acquired the full-time use of a Panasonic Optical Disk Recorder Model TQ-3031F (Component/ S-video/ Composite Video In/Out, 2 audio tracks, RS-232, Genlock, etc.). The unit appears to perform single-frame recording to a 12" read/write optical disk. Panasonic Industrial division here in Canada says the unit is worth…
Don, Well, Yes, I must agree with you on the fact that U-matic holds better under generations than SVHS (wider tape, less drop-outs, better chroma, etc.). I guess what I should have said was "compared to what it would cost me to get a U-matic or Betacam single-frame animation system,…
DPS PAR with SMPTE/MIDI
Message #88128
Hi, I've been following part of the thread on the PAR, and it sounds quite decent. I'm considering looking into one for use instead of investing in a single-frame animation recorder for in-house use (I've been renting/borrowing when going to tape till now). Can anyone out there inform me on…
Angelo and Martin, Thanks for the info. The local video house is planning on upgrading their system in the next while to the UVWs from their current 3/4" U-matic and SP. But I didn't want to have to borrow his deck every time I wanted to do animation (long complex…
Need Animation Recorder
Message #87383
Hi, I own a small Audio/Video Studio (Networked PCs with aa&aapro, 3ds, targa+64, etc., midi, otari 8ch, tascam brd, etc.), where I do computer animation for a local video production house and local tv station (mostly 3/4" Umatic, Umatic SP, and a little Betacam). Until now I have been renting/…
Sherwood, Thanks for the help and all the info. I'm gonna check with Truevision after the holidays and get some TARGA+ spec sheets, Canadian prices and distributors, etc. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, David R. Green
Kevin, Thanks for the information, it is very appreciated. Regards, David R. Green
Thanks, I plan to check into single-frame VTR controllers etc. since it looks like one is needed. David R. Green
Thanks for the tel number, David R. Green
Kevin, Thanks for the info. The info I currently have on the TARGA does say that any rez over 512 wide is twice as fast. Do I understand you correct in that the over 512 modes do NOT have full overscan (ie you must be in the TARGA standard NTSC…
James, Hope I'm not to windy here, but this is a short bio. I am located in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada. My Computer Hardware/Software company is Li'l Chips Systems (I do not use this name for my Studio work). I own an 8-channel recording studio (Otari MX-5050 MkIII-8 1/2"…
Sherwood Where can I locate a copy of the New High Color Mag? (I am located in Northern British Columbia, Canada, and I have not sf een that mag around here). Do you know what is involved in upgrading a 16 to 16/32 or 64 (ie just plug in more…
Martin, How sluggish is sluggish? Under AniPro, what's your average Frame Updates on acceptable real-time animations versus ones that would require a VTR Frame Controller? Thanks, David R. Green
Gus, Where did you locate your TARGA+64? Especially for $1800 (do you have the name of the store, address, tel and FAX). I live in Canada, and the local Computer Stores who deal with wholesalers all over western Canada, don't have any listings for TARGA distributors up here (I am…
#NTSC Hardware HELP

Need: Feedback on any NTSC Output cards for PCs. Considering the Truevision TARGA+. Video Capture and GenLock are not an important factor for now, but would be nice – looking ahead to the future. Must be Broadcast Quality or near-to. Use: For recording Computer Generated Animation and Graphics for video…

April 12 10:00PM Hi, I am a registered user of Animator and Anim Pro (and should be getting Shade 2 soon). Where I work (Architectural, Civil, Engineering firm) we use ACAD 10/11 and Shade 1.1. But on to the point… The Phar Lap DosX with AniPro 1.0 does not support…
