I'll play around with it and see. It sure would be nice to set up several PCs at work with OS2 and let them run as background slaves. The people in the office just are not that happy about returning to their system from lunch and finding it rendering. Go…
#3DS w/OS2
Message #70344
After following the thread on OS2 vs DOS, I was intrigued enough to pick up a copy of OS2 to see for myself what was better. All is running well under OS2, except that it will not render in the background. What settings are required to get 3DS3 to render…
I'v talked to Orchid and they say that new P9000 drivers will be out about the first week of Jan. I think I'll have to wait until then to push beyond what I've got so far. Tim
I have just installed OS2 on a system with an Orchid P9000, and am still struggling with getting them to work together. Does anyone have any experience with the P9000, OS2 and 3DSR3?
Unwanted object movement
Message #49422
That sounds pretty good. I have noticed though, that our systems with 64 meg ram will render models that our 32 meg systems won't. I guess the more of all types of memory you have, the more you can become a detail addict. Tim
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. BTW, is there a limet to the size of model in 3DS? Tim
I'll give that a try and let you know what happens. Thanx, Tim
#Unwanted object movement
Message #48681
Has anyone experience the unwanted shifting of objects in the Keyframer? I am working on a very complex model of an aircraft hangar, and have been plagued with the last couple of objects sometimes shifting location. I have checked all keyframes for those objects, and do not think that is…
Thanks Kevin. I guess I'll just have to continue my quest for speed in faster CPUs. Tim
I do have one application that requires the board set, so it is not a total waste of money. But, like I've said before, I is hard knowing that there is a Weitek sitting in there that isn't usable. Speaking of which, does anyone know if there is a 50mhz…
3D Studio w/ SGI Irisvsn

Thanks. I was afraid of something like that. It seems like a shame to have that Weitek sitting inside there and not to be able to use it though. Tim
3D Studio w/ SGI Irisvsn
Message #23843
Has anyone had any experience with running 3D Studio 2.0 with the Silicon Graphics Irisvision board set? I've tried using the EXP driver that is supplied with the boards, but the rendering seems to actually take longer. There should be a way to utilize the Irisvision boards to there maximum…
