Daniel, The only people who have copies of the "Mirage Raytracing Engine" are myself, my development team, 2 beta test sites( 1 Us + 1 German) and anyone who has managed to come by a copy illegally..of which I hope there are none! . "MRE" is still in BETA and…

This volume covers "Advanced Modeling and Rendering". Thank you to everyone for waiting so patiently! 484 pages, perfect bound, 4-color…
Rachel, No. The Mirage Raytracing Engine is not an IPAS routine. Not yet anyway. In its current release (2.0) it will work as a standalone program. You will shell out to it much the same as shelling out to a paint program etc… With the help of Adesk and the…

New Files in Libs ????
Message #60095
G- Is something wrong with my WinCim manager? I have not seen a new file loaded in any the 3DS library since June 10th. I tried to upload a couple of files and gat a "Remote Server Full" type of message. Are 3DS users overloading the system ?
Certainly, and if anyone else needs it please fell free to leave me mail TP
Sorry I didn't answer your question completely the first time…I'm not actually the evasive type!! The upgrade for registered users will be 299.00. For unregistered users we haven't actually locked down a price structure but lets guess in the thousands some where. ( See a little incentive to buy AMR.…
Martin, The initial version of Mirage will be available as a supplement to Advanced Modeling & Rendering. For those who will not be purchasing AMR (come on…only 59.95 !!) we will offer the standalone version of the upgraded Mirage 2.0 for 299.95(not until November). The only way to get a…
AMR.txt & Raytracer
Message #59869
This is an announcment of a new book "Advanced Rendering & Modeling Techniques" and a new raytracer "Mirage".
Gary, Though I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, I certainly understand the imprtance of working closely with individuals such as yourself who are so closely involved with 3DS (to say the least in your case). I hope I can count on your support and advice very soon.
I've had problems uploading the file. I get a "Remote Library Full" message. I think its time for someone to do some cleanup in the Adesk libraries. Anyway, I put a message file up called "AMR.txt & Raytracer". It should be floating around close by. Talk at ya soon.

3DS Video Mem. Addr.
Message #53270
I need info regarding the following issues. Any help would be appreciated. 1–How can you get the starting memory location for the modeler/display screen 2–If/how to change the screen resolution to an alternate video page from within an IPAS routine then return to original display mode w/o freaking 3DS out.
Martin, Thanks for the response…I wouldnt mind if you called from Scottland although we probably shouldnt talk daily. I did talk to Greg at Siggraph and found out about the ADI drivers for the LVR…thanks for helping though. I do have a targa 32 board and an ATI Ultra Pro…I…
