Philippe, SGI Machines are wounderful, if you are willing to pay a higher price for software, service, and maintanance. Your greatest concern when buying computer related stuff is not the computer, but the software available for the computer. First settle on the software you want to use, then find the…

Message #164472
I am aware of Jim and your desires to get on with it. You both need to understand that this is your field of expertise and it takes a bit longer for me to grasp your intent, as simple as it may sound to you. The illustrations you sent required…

Can't make meeting
Message #151893
Sam, Too many things happening at the last moment here at the college. I will not be able to meet with your guys tomorrow (today). I would like to reschedule at a later date if that is possible, at least to meet with you and perhaps arrange a meeting with…
#medical Illustrators
Message #142035
Gayle, Just a reponse to your request for names of people doing medical Illustration using 3D Studio and other illustration and animation software. My name is Greg Kammer, I am a computer graphic design instructor and have had a side animation/illustration business since 1992. I can help a bit on…
Thought I'd give you some insight into this one. I've been doing these kinds of animations for a few years. Once, an attorney requested an animation based on the reconstructionist's data, but did not want the reconstructionist to seen the final reconstruction animation. The reason is, if the animation looks…
Timothy Bulson Just thought I'd come in on this one for you. In my college lab, photographing the screen is often the only economical way to get an image for the student budget. While it does not give the best quality, this kind of image does work well enough to…
#AniPro 3rd party book
Message #98000
Yost Group I have a course starting this summer in Animator Pro. What is the best and latest third party book on this software I can recommend and stock in our book store. Thanks Greg
Hi Ted, My summer sessions are for both students and professionals. The majority are students who want to learn more about 3D. The professionals are refining their skills. Some know more than I in spicific areas, but their being in the classroom enriches the class and give depth to the…
Nancy, Thanks, the encouragement is great! All I have to do is make the time. How long did it take you to make the book? In hours? I'll start getting materials together. I'm now using your book in my 3DStudio classes. Good job! Greg
[>> Continued from previous msg] The article appeared in both the Seattle Times and Seattle P.I. on Sunday March 13. Check around for local coverage. The article also mentioned Intel and Pendium developing simlar parallel chips of ther own. Wouldn't it be nice to have zero-wait realy mean not waiting!…
Steve, I have been very active on the fourm, every other day at least I log on. I am good at what I know, but haven't felt many questions were directed to my talents. I jump in occationally though. I use the forum during all my classes to show the…
Nancy, Thanks for the book, it was so good aparently that it has already be stolen from me! I am ordering the text for next quarter's class. I get another copy then. By the way, the lighting chapter looks good. It looks like you were able to use a bit…
Fredrik Nilsson, Could you tell me more about the make path utility you spoke of. I am interested. Thanks, Greg Kammer
#ACAD12 3D to DXF
Message #80212
Yost Group, I am working with the acad manager of The Glosten Associates, inc. They design ships. I need the best info on the best drawing methods for the cleanest dxf export and import into 3DStudio. We have made preliminary tests with bad results which give only stray lines here…
Fred, I think so. It makes sense, in that the animations can be sent anywhere with only the cost of tape and a couple of days mail time at risk. There are details to work out of course. I have both an SGI running Vertigo and 3D Studio as well.…
S.A. Nadeau, Yes I'm interested. I've worked with both animator pro and 3d studio for a couple of years now and have produced many animations for a variety of clients. Please send info at Michael Victor the above Compu$erve address
3D-Studio Magazine? I would like to be put on the list as well 11015 UCT Loop Road Lake Stevens, WA 98258 I teach the software as part of our graphics program at Everett Community College, Washington. Greg
#D STUDIO Rendering Farm
Message #60675
SyQuest 44Mb and 88Mb will work just fine. I rarely have files any larger than this as 3DStudio files. You did say you were doing the rendering, not the assembling of prerendered images. Are you doing both? (I suspect you are). Rates are probably more important to me.
