Thanks, Gus!
I'm also get the PAS16 for games only. Good card! As you, I'm not very interested electronic music. I just prefer the classic way (synths no, thnaks! :). Regarding games, anyone looking for a sound card (for games or music composition) should check the Orchid SoundWave 32. It use a…
Yes, I know that you claim to be a hardware illiterate, but I can't believe you . At last, you guys are engineering 3D Studio! 🙂 I mean, will 3ds support any kind of network that can share drives or it's ethernet only? Is there any minimun MBPS rate? As…
#Coactive Network
Message #60078
I'm just about to buy a new network, but don't want to spend too much money in cards, etc… I have an old, but really good of the price, Invisible Network model 200 (8bit propietary!) and want to change to another solution compatible with 3D Studio. Recently I have see…
I'm not surprised. Madrid is my favorite city too
Thanks Jack. ana /krazy images
Ah, the CIS conventions! You try to help as much as you can, but "burokrazy" don't let you. This sysops are like the politburo!
#Which deck is better

Yes, I have used to be in Madrid, althought I have also Monegasque residence documents and have house there too. I'm also a frequent Geneva visitor, my father have swiss passport, althought he's spanish. You can say that I don't know where to stop. But Madrid owns my hearth 🙂
#Altimira phone no.?
Message #59973
I got the info from PC Mag. textually: "a new venture funded by Autodesk and research computer scientist Alvy Ray Smith" BTW, have you see the famous long-awaited X2? Any opinion?
#Which deck is better
Message #59972
Yes, I know about the only one module. How memory do you have in yours, Kevin?
Indeed, I have review one Matrox I card, the impression 1024 (I know, no Illuminators :), but the previous distributor in Spain was… mmmh, let's say: good dealers Three months before coming to Florida, the distributor changed and they were avid of promotion, so they start to send cards. Unfortunately,…
Regarding Mark Zimmer and 3D Studio: He's in the Mac side, but he have to know about 3D Studio. At last, I've been in COMART the last weeks teeling everybody that 3D Studio will throw Wavefront into the trashcan As you already know he is co-author of Painter and is…
Gus, Is not Altamira a "joint venture" between Autodesk and others? ana
Oh, John. Yes, I'm still in Florida (medieval battle suit included ) I'm planning to move to Antartida some of this days, but there are not service bureaus there. Only pinguins and whales! Love whales… any norwegian, russian or japanese in the forum? >(
Good done, John. In the first moment, I thought that say that you can't get red vertex anyway! But if you can use other drivers to get the display, I can't see the problem. What Vibrant drivers? They will support real-time or are you talking about normal drivers? BTW, I'm…
Wow! That's a good price quote! 🙂 Thanks for the info, Don. Best wishes, ana /krazy images
It can do 512×486 resolution! I was talking about hires broadcast resolution. I love the board, and personally don't need more resolution… for now 🙂 ana /krazy images
Yes, I know what you are talking about. I solve that with a medium disk and removable storage. The bad things now is that… you never know how to stop! ana /krazy images

Why do you supose that a company like Autodesk (or any other one) pay press people (or freelances) to make an article about 3DS (or any other product)? This is not ethical. Companies send press announcements, letters, calls, faxes, etc… to interest the writer in the product, and if the…
Mike, You are right, we have deal with Fast products and they are very good. The quality-price ratio in this german products is very good too. In fact, the Screen Machine was the first of breaking prices down in the video-in-a-window market about two years ago. ana /krazy images

Probably this only happens to us, but the Matrox 1024 is, not only buggy in software, but in hardware. The VESA modes are a complete **** (which are in hardware) and operation with Animator Pro is completely impossible. We have tested the card for two months for a magazine article.…

Merlin, Bailey, and everybody else with Targas (me too), don't like that the board doesn't have hi-res 32 bit operation. That's one of the resons why some people is moving to Matrox. Any other way, the Targa+ is a great board. ana /krazy images

#Solid 3D Output

So it seems that AME will be the only solution… at least in the autodesk side 🙂 Any chance to get the program running without AutoCAD ana /krazy images ps.I've recieved your CD_ROM catalog. Great stuff! and far better than the Pixar one. Anyone who have plans to buy textures,…

Yes, I know what you mean. I will buy a Pentium just for play Flight Simulator 5 in a net… are you serious? You start with a DX2/66 with 16Mb just for playing games. I use my high-end equipment to play (exceptional and out of this world only) games, but…

Thanks Don! Is the cost of the service expensive, or the cost of setting up an Stereo Lithography system? ana /krazy images

Pixar one28
Message #57367
yeah, John. I know about your CD, John. How about the price? I only pointed this because it seems to me that the price of the Pixar CD is so high for just a hundred of TIF texture maps that I'm wondering how it looks. Since they announce it as…
#Pixar one28
Message #57336
Hey, just browsing ad pages at PC Mag last issue and found a CD-ROM from Pixar for $179.95 in the Microwarehouse (here at CI$, GO MCW). The CD-ROM in question includes 128 high-quality 512x512x24 tiff textures (the add said it's part of their private collection -?-). Also say that all…
Yes, I have read that article -but I found it in the Sep 28 issue :)- (I usually read all of them, specially John Dvorak's one: because I'm a masochisc and like to read how many stupid things a man could put in page each 15 days. I think that…
In Spain we are open for any culture, but I think the K comes from the Vasques (because their native language was prohibited during Franco's dictatorship). You know, as soon as democracy started up, citys everywhere, names, started to take the native language names, instead of the castillian ones (i.e.…

Hey, Martin, my english is bad, but at least I know how to speel crazy! It's a matter of "name design". We were waiting these days for the confirmation of the TM from the international organization (I don't know the name of this, Jesus and one of the "abogados" (lawyers…

#Altamira Composer
Message #57265
So, why they are waiting to take all the power of that boards? I don't know anything about programing, but I'll buy such drivers from Panacea or Vibrant in just a second. But it could be better Autodesk or the makers of the board (in my case, Truevision) put the…
Then you have to go for Gallery Effects! 🙂 Painter have auto-clone features that will transform your picture in a "painting" like image, but don't have many options in the styles. I have gallery effects and I main use it to process automatically 3d images generated by 3ds, althought if…
If you wnat the whole giga: Get the Iomega! I don't have the name here, but we reviewed it at the mag and it's great. If you want same or more speed, less pricey (think in the 2,500-3,000 range) and "only" 650 megabytes, get the Pinnacle Micro. It will run…
There's no kidding on that. We are know beta-testers of an OS code-named USS Enterprise. Ana /Krazy Images
Thanks for the tip, Baley. However, I'm thinking of getting the postscript SIMM from HP and some more cheap megabytes. I have take note of it for future references. Thanks again! Ana
Thanks David! Someone at COMART point me to that forum too. See you there. Ana
Well, JOhn. I think the reason of the encoder lack in the ATVista is not the desire of cahrging you more or anything. As most people have pointed here, the Truevision solution to get RGB to recordable signal is the VIDI/O nad the quality is poor than the Targa+. So…
Any of the multiboot utilities I have DON'T use any ram. They work as the multiboots included in OS/2 or Windows NT. They aren't devices. QEMM is a very good memory manager. I'm only seeking for the version of DOS that take it out of my hard drive. And this…
Thaaaaaanks Dan! This is the kind of thing that I like to hear 🙂 I think it's time of join and have some fun there. Ana
#Truevision DVR no VR 🙂
Message #56268
Jerry, sorry to confuse you. I just want to post the message regarding the Truevision DVR in the hardware/drivers/… section, but my tapcis sections file is older than the new forum structure update. I just fixed it. Anyway, the TV DVR is not an VR device or program, neither a…
OK Marion, if you see the things that way. I'm very happy with non-built external utilities and have used dozens of utilities that give me the startup configurations I want for many years. I think this is more a question of personal views. For you is right to call it…
How about the ATVista Digital? Ana
For me Fractal was the best graphics program for artists and non-artists, image experts and non-experts, masters or aficionados, in the past. And now is far ahead of any other graphic program in the market. It's a neverending program, with infinite posibilities and combinations of tools, preferences and option. With…

#Truevision DVR
Message #56102
Hey all! Have I miss something or you already have comented the new DVR technology by Truevision. This is the long awaited step ahead that Truevision had have to do, and seems that won't be a board, but a new entire technology, base of all Truevision products. Boys and girls,…
OK, Alec. Go for it (and ask for a copy of the program! 🙂 Ana
OK, Marion. I believe you 🙂 However, I'm not going to pay money for what I already have, and this is my point regarding this upgrade. I have better utilities than those who Microsoft offers me and I don't like double space programs, because I don't need them. If someone…
Ang, If they don't see the market that can generate they are simply CRAZY or BLIND. "They weren't sure of the market "pull"??????? What I'm sure is that my money is ready to go to Matrox if they release the realtime gouraud driver for 3ds. BTW, thanks for the info,…
Hey James! I've got the comparision between the Illuminator, the Targa and the Vista time ago, also from you. However, my message was only dealing about display cards vs. video framebuffers comparision. One thing, you can get the Targa+ 64 for just $1699. And as for the Matrox boards, I…
