3ds3 & win95 Message #197144
Has anyone out there had any success running 3D Studio r3 under windows 95? I recently tried it and got a Phar Lap error 74. Does it need the pharlap.386 file as Autocad does? TIA \jon\are.ndt

Alec, Thanx for your reply. I will try your suggestion. But I do have a question. You mention that when saving an image as a 256 grayscale in Corel, the program automatically adjusts the gamma (or something similar) thus changing a white background into a shade of gray (bop ba,…

Rachel; Thanx for your response. I currently have Hijaak Pro 2.0, which didn't work all that well, and CorelDraw and Corel Photopaint which were better but not as good as I thought they could be. I am going to look at Image Alchemy and Pizazz Plus 4.0. I just rec'd…

David; Thanx for your response. I had done what you suggested before I posted with varying results. I rendered a drawing at 1024×768 on a white (or none) background to a gif and imported to CorelDraw then added some text and printed. The only problem with this approach is that…

Does anybody know if there is a driver available for printing directly from 3D Studio release 2.x to the new HP 650C plotter? If not, might there be one forth coming? Also, what hardcopy drivers will come with 3DS r3? Will we be limited to the HP Paintjet driver again?…

Kevin; I stand corrected. I didn't realizem that when you said that 3ds was saving a 4096x4096x24Bit file that it was the lastrend.img file that you were talking about. At any rate I was using the null display driver and rendering to disk and I has supplied a file name…

OK So I have turned off last-image-save parameter. Now when I do a render to GIF file at 4096×4096 resolution everything seems to work fine, for the first hour, but no file is created (I didn't see what happened, there was no error me) and I am returned to the…

Gary; The 4096×4096 file that I am trying to save is a GIF file, so it is only an 8 bit color depth and I am using a plain white background. The 3072×3072 file that I did manage to save was less than 100k in size. The computer I am…

Somebody, HELP! I am trying to render an image in 3dstudio to a file at a high resolution to later be made to a slide. It renders fine at 1024x768x256. At 1024×1024 x256, 2048x2048x256, and 3072x3072x256 I get an error – "write error on last image file" or something like…
