#Sun Valley Id.
Message #147891
I'm thinking of moving to Sun valley Idaho in a year or so. Does any one know of any 3DS or multimedia oppertunities in the Bosie area. Please let me know if you do. Thanks -Richard Sher+
Visible lights that are internal to the program, not an IPAS. If this Idea gets considered then please support shader glows for the lights interaction with the objects they illuminate. Allwo for animation of the associated lighting effects. Thanks
Dear Jonas; Please log these additional R5 requests; 1. Translation, constrained to X,Y,Z, axis from the cameras view port of objects. 2. Animate the "ranges" parametes in the keyframer. 3. Panning images with drop shadows in a VP type enviornment. Include shadows that would animate the intensity and size. 4.…
Oh yes, the rounded edge tool is very usefull
I want to move objects (constrained along the XYZ axises) from the camera view port. Also please include the ability to change the xyz rotational/ translational priorities of objects light and cameras
While Im on a new product roll … An animatable materails editor in which all pamerters can ve controled using a spline based graph to control ease in , ease out etc.. of the unique parameters of a materail deffinition.
#rounded corners and edge
Message #144980
Alias has this tool to round the edges of shapes . It provides a interactive arc so adjusting the amount of roundness is intuitive. If adjcent edges are rounded the ends are propererly compounded. Please consider this very useful feature for verson 5. Thank You.
Aleksey; I'm real interested in the IPASes. Please put my name in your files as one willing to test and comment. I am big with color and lighting I tend to create "provockitive" images hence the Co. name Wild Images. Thand You -Richard Sher+
Hi mitch; Schriper insturments has an IPAS called Python, it creates morth objects that follow a path. It's usefull for things like 3-D write on's. It might be another way of moving the paper through the press.
Thanks Matt for the memo on your business. I might need your services. Either way I 'll keep this one on file . -Thanks R. Sher

#moving backgrounds IXP
Message #137461
I would like a IPAS for paning large backgrounds. The foreground layers, series of frames could have animated drop shadows as well. This would provide that HAL / Harry "video" post look which would appeal to the typical TV client, right? The other big IPAS request is to provide animation…

IPAS Idea
Message #129078
A IPAS that allowed scrolling .TGA's and .JPG's with variable drop shadows would be wonderful.
#HSC/Raytrace
Message #129077
A ray tracing IPAS deserves a 2nd. You jot one from Me. after working with Alias Power Animator for a year its the ray tracing and the ability to animate ALL paramaters from the materails editor that I miss. Otrherwise I'd take 3ds R4 over Ailas any day!
