Thanks again… By the way, I have both 3D ROM's, thanks for putting those together. -dsm
Really? Hmmm… I'll give them a call. Thanks for the replies. -danny.
Thanks Peter! I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask Viewpoint… Hope I'm not in for sticker shock! If you do find out anything on Cyberware, please let me know.
#Cyberware?
Message #44947
Hi all! Can anyone help me to get in touch with a company called Cyberware? They do I 3D object scanning, and are located in Monterey, CA. A client of mine may need some objects digitized, and would like to talk to them. She tried directory assistance, but got nowhere.…
Tom, I'll take the 486DX-33 processor for $100. Assuming that it works and is in good condition, please consider it sold! Would it be possible to send it out COD? If so, my address is: Daniel San Miguel c/o First Insurance Co of HI, Ltd. 1100 Ward Ave Honolulu HI…

I am interested in the 3D Rom disks. Can you tell me how much they are and how to order them? I use lightwave 3D, by the way. Thank you.
Nope, I won't tell you that it didn't work yet, I haven't had time to try it yet! My machine is tied up rendering for the next few days, and I just finished a rush slide show type video project that took up the last few days. The presentation of…
Glen, thanks for the advice! It triggered something in my mind, and I think it will work!!! I will try loading just the intervertebral disks…akin to your cartilage tube, as one object and morph it into a bent version, then insert the vertebrae afterwards, using null objects as pivot points,…
HI Jeff, Sorry to hear about the timing snag in CanDO. What will your anim editor for the PAR do? Is it to sync sound to the PAR? I just broke down completely today and ordered a TBC IV. I guess the Sunrize card is really on the back burner…
Glen, yup, I pretty much got frustrated with bones. I carefully placed bones throughout the skeleton object, but then they distorted the limbs terribly when I moved things about. Influence range is hard to use, because it is invisible. Also, moving parented bones is an exercise in confusion. Kind of…
Jeff, YES! I'd much rather have a program to sync sound to the PAR. I agree that some people will pay more for a commercial product, sight unseen, than they will for a shareware product that they can try. Maybe it is because the commercial products come in a colorful…
Grady, I'll look forward to seeing your setup. What does Prime Radiant Productions do? Is it Video Production? Just checking. See you next week. -danny
Jeff, thanks for putting me on your list. I just got SCALA MM200 the other day, and it is kinda neat. Opens up some possibilities, I guess. Sorry to hear nobody registered your shareware offerings in the past…makes one wonder, doesn't it? Maybe it would be best to just upload…
Grant, you are right, I don't have a clue. It's kind of nuts for them to try to sell a product which requires you to call NEWTEK tech support to even begin to use it. Like you said, maybe in the future they will offer a more complete product. Good…
Grady, Yes I am on Oahu. I'd really like to check out your setup. I have several projects in mind that could really use it… Would you mind if I brought someone with me? Do you also have a PAR? Anyway, please give me your address and/or phone number where…
Wanted: Amiga Items
Message #154645
Wanted: 040 accellerator card with RAM installed. Also wanted: Sound sampler for Amiga. Thank you.
Jeff, thanks for the info! I wasn't aware of your program, can you give me a hint as to the capabilities it will have? Please let me know when it is about ready. Good to hear that it will cost LESS. This stuff is beginning to cost real money! I…
#ScreamerNet/Raptor Ships
Message #85243
Glen, ok, you got your Raptor, does this mean that you finished your Skeleton model? If not, I'm STILL REALLY JEALOUS. …The frames that used to take me an hour to render…still take an hour. 🙂 If you did any more work on the skeleton, I could still use it!…
Jerry, sorry to hear about your service problems, after all, you sold me my first Toaster. It is still working fine, and I have learned a lot. Of course, I have had upgrade fever since day one. Hope things work out in your studio. I probably have the same kind…
#Cheap Audio Synch?
Message #85241
Jeff, pardon me for butting in here, but… I want to do the same thing. I.E. sync sound effects with PAR anims without spending $1200. I know that even "low end" sound will make all the difference. Plus, DST looks to be a nice piece of software, from the review…
Stephen, the Flicker Free Video II is a small circuit board that you plug into the Motherboard of an A500 or A2000 which gives you a solid display free of interlace flicker and visible scan lines. Works with most VGA monitors. Doesn't take a video slot or an expansion slot.…
Stephen, I experienced a similar problem, my Scroll and Crawl Pages were magenta until I hooked up a monitor to the Amiga Video port (23 pin connector). Since I was using a Flicker Free Video II, I had no need of the amiga's video out, so I thought. Once I…
Thanks a lot John. Good to know about the Picasso working with Lightwave. Funny, my FFV2 worked tonight, so I am happily modeling, tonight at least. Maybe I should just leave the machine on forever . -danny.
#LW and Retina?
Message #84447
Hi all, I have been considering getting a 24 bit display card for my amiga 2000, and would appreciate any and all comments. I need a card that is compatible with the Toaster 4000 card, particularly for running Lightwave 3D layout and modeler in flicker free mode. I have been…
John, I have a set of 2.1 manuals, virtually untouched. Also have in shrink wrap the 2.1 software. I have 2 copies since I ordered the upgrade software, but then bought a used A2000 which included same. If you still need it, I could ship it out tomorrow. How does…

#LWPRO
Message #37283
John, what kind of images do you want? I got the PAR a couple of weeks ago, and haven't slept much since. Needless to say, I have quite a few images on my drive…experiments mostly. I rendered the Chessboard object with the Light Queen moving a few spaces. I used…
Aki, thanks… Obviously my knowledge of video hardware is limited. Good to know that multiple tbc's are not required… I'll re read your message later. Thanks again! -danny
John, I too am on a small island in the middle of the Pacific. Oahu, to be precise. I have an amiga 2500 and a toaster 4000. I too am trying to do animations and videos… To do animation output the catch is to get the single frames onto tape.…
John, also, what version of the personal TBC is it? How much do you want for it? pls let me know…
John, does the the "Progressive 40 8 megs 32 bit ram" include the accelerator card? If so, what speed 040 is it, and would you be willing to sell it separately? Pls reply via e-mail, or call me at (808)-527-7493. Thank you.
Yeah, I should have said "hay". But I was seeing double by the third day of the seminar. 7 hours a day seated in a dark room, gets uncomfortable after a couple of days. Sorry for not speaking up though. 🙁 By the way, some disks with xtra material relating…
Brent, I took the liberty of showing the DMM scenes you had uploaded to the Amiga Arts forum to Lee Stranahan at a seminar he was teaching in Hawaii. He was intrigued with the product, but seemed concerned that it would be difficult to edit the resulting scene file. Of…
John, saw you at the Toaster Training in Paradise, from the back of the room during the advanced lightwave class. I am still kicking myself for not saying "hi" when we were in the same room! Geez. I really enjoyed the classes…learned a TON o stuff, and will definitely be…
Jerry, I have just completed day 2 of the Toaster Training in Paradise… About 60 people in attendance. Lee is a great teacher, one of the best I've had, IMHO. I learned more in two days with Lee than in two months with the manual and the toaster. I'm glad…
Jerry, do you mean Memphis? Yeah, I am just lucky that the seminar came to my part of the world …amazing. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again Frank! Tomorrow thru Friday I will be attending the VTU sponsored "Toaster Training in Paradise" here in Hawaii. Mebbe I will get smart, huh?! You are so right…this forum is a great place to get help. I have been "lurking" around here for a while now, picking up…
Jerry, thanks for the reply… ok, I give up. Can I borrow 1300 dollars? . Seriously, I've been playing with lightwave mostly, and i am amazed at what it can do. Wednesday thru friday I will be attending the Toaster Training in Paradise. Hope to become more toaster literate by…
Thanks Frank, I did call newtek tech support this am, they told me the same thing, sort of. The guy said I needed a distribution amplifier, available thru radio shack! I went down to Radio Shack, but didn't buy anything. TBC's are on my must have list anyway, so I…
#Stable Switcher images?
Message #66428
Help Help!, I can't seem to get a stable video signal if I connect more than one source to my Toaster 4000 board in my amiga 2500. Could the problem be improper termination? The image is very stable when only one input is connected. I have tried connecting a video…
Training in Paradise?
Message #66096
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Outrigger Reef Hotel! I just signed up myself. 🙂 If anyone needs help with anything, I live here on Oahu… Couldn't believe it when I read that the seminar was coming to Hawaii, and that it is goint to be a special 3…
David…I am also in Hawaii and would be interested in your magazines! I got my amiga only a few months ago, so the early mags would be very interesting for me. If you still have them, give me a call at home: 672-3129, or at work: 527-7493. I live in…
#Toaster Editing Equipm't
Message #63859
Hi all! I am trying to figure out what equipment I need to produce high quality training videos. I currently have an amiga 2500, 8 megs ram, 80 meg drive…plus a Toaster 4000 with 3.0 software, a Sony CPD 1302 monitor, VHS camcorder, and one tv monitor. I want to…
#GVP A2000 Impact 8/X brd
Message #63303
Can anyone help me? I just acquired a GVP IMPACT A2000-8X SCSI/RAM Controller board. It has 8 megs of ram installed, but I can't seem to access the memory. 🙁 I double checked the jumpers. The install procedure described in the manual just doesn't work. My users guide (c 1990,…
