Digimation, Bones Pro (504)468-7898 Awsome Program!!!
Dear doug, The explosions you saw were created with a new upgrade for lenzfx call Lumina. Lumina adds a new feature called turbulence that creates fracticle clouds to a lenzflare. Therefore being able to create nebulea's,explosions,atmospheres, and anything you can dream up. The explosion was created with many envelopes with…
If you take a look in the Ipas forum there should be a ton of lumina images, Also in the "ashowcase forum" under new files, – lumina ship-, -lumina soloar system – These images use Lumina's new turbulence function. Frank DeLise
To Mark, Anything you need to , ill tell you. email me, 71003,3340 Frank DeLise
A new stars routine would be really cool, but if someone is going to create a new stars they should also consider enviorments. For example a button to create stars or clouds. Why not project fracticle clouds like Alias, And also be able to animate the settings like,-Time of day,#…

I have just recieved Meshpaint today… AWSOME.. This definetly adds to the most useful list of ipas routines available. Being able to draw on a 3d object is great. The fisrt project i will use this for is to paint war wounds on a space fighter. because now you can…

Brian, Sorry brian , i hope you don't think that i was jumping down your throat. I am just trying to inform people about hardware and performace so people do not get the wrong impressions about machines. The machine i was talking about The dec-alpha is somthing i just purchased…
Frank Delise , 3DS Animator…..forever
Yost Group, I really appreciate the way 3d-studio handles antialiasing now. When i compare it to LW, and Alias there is no comparison. In LW it renders the same scence nine time on medium antialiasing. I would be more then happy to do test results i will upload scences and…
Brian, When i did test results, in the camera settings "Trace shadows,reflection, and refraction were all off and antialising medium. A single sphere with no materials took 15 seconds, compared to 3dstudio's 6 seconds, same amount of polys. frank..

Any one Interested in knowing true speed results of Lightwave 3d running on a 4 proccesor Dec-Alpha at 190 mhz each with 256 meg of ram and four gigs hd controled by four pci scsi diskstripping. Its not as good as you think.. In some ways Lightwave has made me…
LEE, If you are interested in "Wetlands" its in this months PC-GAMMERS, a two page review. Its is an all 3Dstudio rendered game. Also in the ipas forum there are two images from this game, Under World City, and Starship. Frank DeLise…
John, I see your name here alot, If your interested I have just purchased a dec-alpha w/4 -190 mhz proccesors w/256 meg ram and its the size of a refrigerator running lightwave. I have been testing it for weeks and so far a P90 is not to far away when…
Mike, As far as i know it is a software upgrade that adds on to your exsiting Lenzfx to make version 1.5 no addition HW-lock.. frank
Kyle, It's definitly Animatable thats for sure with to many options. You Can attach it it's a light source. Were ever you can put a light you can put gas ,flames, explosions, fog, nebuals, It is a button you click on in lenzfx that lets you add these gases to…
Kyle, Thanks for the compliment. The meteor you created is really cool too, The difference is that your meteor can travel in any direction ,cast shadows and reflect in other objects its a little more complicated for me to accomplish that Because the gasses i used is really a light…
I think Lee you were refering to me about Lumina about the refresh, I created the meteor.jpg. Yes the refresh is slow but not as long as the render time of flames, vapor. I have realized when to shut off the auto preview and when to turn it on. The…
Hi Andrew, I have 3ds4 on a p-90 and an Indigo Extreme2 running Alias connected via ethernet. The way i do it is very anoying. On the SGI i convert the single frames to pc tiffs then i copy them over to the pc. There i wrote a qbasic exe…
Hi Bruce, and Dave I am both a Lenzfx and Bones Pro user. Two thumbs up for both. They are no dought the best ipas routines available today and i own almost every package out there. You try and make the 3ds chevy dance realisticly without it. I can do…
Lenzfx is Awsome
Message #149466
to all; I have been using Lenzfx for the past couple of weeks and it is one of the best ipas routines i have ever purchased. This program has infinite possibilites. If you can dream up a cool light burst,glow,hilite, flare or focus effect it can be done with this…
Magic is one of my favorite routines. It is also very powerful. To get a good fairy dust settings shoud be as follows. 1 particles around 2000 2 initial spread shoud be low. This allow particle to spurt from a point (2) 3 Spread rate about 3 or 4 4…
