Dean, The Rendering Plant can be reached at: 28.8 – 816-525-8362 14.4 – 816-525-5614 Harley
Yes, I'll be there. Sounds like your going as a hip MadHatter. I have a bone to pick with Roark – he didn't send Melissa and I an invitation. BTW, we got in a CD-R at work. If there is anything you'd like burned, let me know. Harley
David, I bought it directly from you. From your response, I take it I do not need to send in my registration card? When do you expect to ship the update disk? Thanks, Harley
#Halloween
Message #196680
Dave, Mr.G. showed me the Halloween invitation. Nice work. Nice, friendly, non-death related ghosts. You plan to attend as? Harley
Alan, I'd love to check out 11th Hour. Hope they can release it soon. From what I've heard, it was nothing but hell to complete. Harley
Alan, >>I'm just putting some 3DS/3D environments together for a Mech >>Warrior add-on release, Harley. Are these environments for gameplay or for cutscenes? Harley
Thanks David, My copy of LenZFX 2.0 arrived a few days ago. Do I have to mail in my registration before I can receive an update disk or can I phone it in? HH
#LenZFX 2 Problems
Message #196411
David, When I load some of the presets that ship with 2.0 I get and error message about "missing rotate.cel" or something similar. Any ideas? HH
#Mech Warrior Animation?
Message #196410
Hi Alan, I just got Mech2 and was quite impressed by the work Digital Domain did. What are you using in your work for Activision? HH
Strange LensFX
Message #196106
David, >>Since the 15th, we have added 3 or 4 great new features to >>LenZFX 2 that will make it even more powerful and custom- >>izable. As someone who complained here about the delayed shipping date, it is great to hear that there will be new features in the released…
Robert, The "debacle" I referred to involved their P133 SMP. They were advertising the system and telling callers (and buyers) that the system would ship in two weeks. At the time they didn't have the dual 133 motherboards, nor did they know when they would be getting them. They didn't…
Stephen, No, its not a Micron. I went with a local company and had them build it to my specs. If you want to know all the details and can send them to you. I bought it with the possibility of getting a PVR in the (probably distant) future. Harley
Rick, >> I assume by "All defaults" you mean that you used Metal shading and >>Mapping was on? Yup. Mapping and metal shading were on. I'm happy! 😉
More benchmarks: P133 32MB RAM 512k CHEVY.3DS All defaults, no display: 640×480 1:20 1024×768 2:43 HH
Doug, >>I am working on my new P133 now
Put me on the list. Harley
What is the asking price on the PAR? Who makes the hard-drive?
Greg, Digimation now says vaguely that the fix will be released "at the end of the month." I was told it was because they were waiting on the manuals. Given this kind of delay, do you think the manual will have color plates? Oh yeah, it isn't a fix, its…
James, "The amount of planning and timing that is required to coordinate production and advertizing is, I think, oft overlooked by most. I would not categorize what happened with Micron as "creepy", rather I might describe it as an honest error. After all, had they been sent the right boards…
#Inferno Fizzles
Message #190994
FYI: I called Digimation today to order my LenZFX upgrade. No dice. It has been delayed "until the end of the month." They wouldn't get any more specific than that. The woman claimed they were waiting on the manuals (seems to be a common excuse with software developers). At Siggraph…
Sam, After looking around and noticing that no one, not even board manufacturers were advertising a dual 133, I started to get suspcious. Pretty creepy of Micron. In my case I decided against Micron and a dual Pentium. I went with a local vendor who was able to max out…
>Micron "says" it has dual 133's however I ordered one 5 weeks ago and have been >on the phone with them almost daily in the last week and one half and none have >been built or shipped yet. JUST a bit of false advertising! Samuel Coor Five weeks?! I'm glad…
Martin, >>Hope your local vendor works out.
Doug, When you get it, let me know. Maybe we could do some comparative rendering tests. Harley
Martin, Micron has dual 133's. I think the difference in price was close to $500. BTW, I took your advice and went with a local vendor. I was able to get a lot more computer for less money. Harley
Alan, >>It was nice seeing you at Siggraph. Hope to see you next year >>in N'Awlins! I'll be there! Harley
Hi Alan, Thanks for your advice (my question wasn't particularly clear). I ended up going with a single processor P133. By the time MAX ships I'll have a better idea of what my hardware needs (and financial resources) are. BTW: While I only spoke to you for a micro-second at…
Doug, My situation is almost identical to yours. I also ended up getting a single processor P133. I opted to go with regular RAM as opposed to the EDO. Since EDO ram doesn't work with multiple processors, I didn't want to later be stuck with ram I couldn't use (I…
Peter, I was also told by Digimation reps at Siggraph and on the telephone that the field-render bug-fix would be free to registered owners. Like you, I'll upgrade anyway just to get Inferno. Harley
# Help! SMP or RAM?
Message #189368
I'm looking at purchasing a new system this week. With an eye on the coming MAX, which is more important: the potential for dual processors or more RAM? I can either go with a P133 with 64MB RAM or a dual Pentium (one CPU) and 32 megs. Either way, I…
Excellent point! Maybe once they fix LenZFX they could use the acquired knowledge to fix another Digimation IPAS – Magic. Harley
>>Let's just say we'd have to have another hot-tub party at Melissa's folks' >>place befor you'll ever find out! This definately belongs under the subject heading – Siggraph:The Dark Side. Harley
Dave, Sorry I didn't get to talk to you longer at the Autodesk bash. >> (Actually, as it was, we went back and sat around drinking >> Cokes and watching Beavis and Butthead, before crashing!) Sounds like a typical Rhotten-Gaffney-Reed evening to me. The real question for everyone is: Where…
Dreamworks on AOL
Message #177624
Hi, Anyone happen to see the long post on AOL from Dreamworks? If someone could post it here I'm sure everyone would appreciate it. (If it's already in the LIB I apologize!) Harley
Randy, Thanks for the info! Harley
Randy, Thanks! Harley
Brian, Thanks for the tip! Harley

Hi, Can anyone give me some tips on setting up a Windows for Workgroups network with 3DS? Harley

Hi, Can anyone give me tips on setting up a Windows for Workgroups network with 3DS? Thanks, Harley
Hi Brent, Jim Lammers told me that some guys from Positron will be at the next KC3DS meeting. Will they be bringing demo disks with them? Harley
Dave, PowerMac, me? I woudn't touch such filth! 😉 (Actually, considering the amount of headaches I've dealt with my PC -i.e. conflicts, conflicts, conflitcs, sometimes they don't look SO bad). I only mentioned 3DS for his home use. As to what they want in the office, (maybe a cleaning lady?)…

#Going to Kansas City
Message #165659
Dave, you big speed-demon you! I hear your coming to KC this weekend. I'll alert the proper authorities. Harley
Nik,
Brian, Again, this turned out to be something very simple. This time a typo in the line configuring my Targa card in my config.sys file was the culprit. I ran the same process with the net queue last night and everything appears to be normal. So far, life is a…
Brian, > Certainly. The problem occured when laying sequential TGA's to tape. The Sanyo would initialize just fine. If I used Post and IFL's, the machine would begin recording and then anywhere from 10 to 100 frames later would just stop. 3ds would continue to churn out frames as if…
Brian, Thanks for replying. (I was beginning to think no one cared 🙁 ) There was some conflict involving the com ports on my computer. I finally tracked it down and the Sanyo will now merrily click away all night long. Now, problem number 2. When I render to TGA's…
3DS4 and GVRS-950 HELP
Message #162578
Hello, I'm having trouble sending sequential TGA's to the Sanyo deck. The deck initializes just fine. If I use Disk to VTR, 3ds starts sending the TGA's to the buffer, but the deck just sits there. If I stop this process by using the ESC key and then try to…
Kyle, Great image! I've always wanted to do some of the Alien stuff for fun. What is SeeZ? HH
G, I see it now, thanks! HH
Hi Gary, > I was out of town for a while, so I wasn't able to catch it before it threaded off into neverland. What did it refer to? HH
