Thanks Martin. The good part about finding a bug is that you don't feel so stupid after all! Yes, I can work around it. By the way, I think there may be a typo in the manual for the new Core Functions included in TSE. Page 14 describes a function…
Yes, I tried "GetObject"ing the object. In fact that's where I started out. My problem was that the configure script passed right by that piece of code. That was when I started debugging to show the name of the object and its number of faces. While doing that, it occurred…
#TSE – AXP script
Message #190511
I'm not sure if this is the place to post this question about the KUB Script Extension for 3DS, but here goes: I'm trying to get some information about an object in a scene (in this case, the number of faces on the object), before changing the object on the…
Thanks Dave. In fact I got answers from both HSC and Autodesk, by phone, to say that it can only be done manually. The idea is that I would change some of the parameters in Gradient Designer over a sequence of frames (e.g. use a circular gradient pattern to resemble…
Animator Studio and KPT
Message #187016
Autodesk's Animator Studio v1.0 ships with a limited edition of Kai's Power Tools Gradient Designer. The Explorer's Guide provides excellent information on using this tool in a single frame, but neither this Guide nor the Animator Studio documentation explain how the gradient designer effects can be animated between frames. Can…
Dave- I tried your tests without very encouraging results: in neither case did I succeed in displaying the mov file in the Quicktime viewer. In fact I discovered a more glaring problem: when I did a "save as", I saved all 6 frames in each case, yet when I closed…
>>. so… when you save out a QuickTime file in Animator Studio R1c1, this file is not playable in your QuickTime 2.0.1 Viewer?
my mistake – Animator Studio, not Animator Pro. Neil
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the problem! I'm already using version 1.0 revision c1. I've also updated my Quicktime player to version 2.0.1 (not 2.1), but I still get the blank screen with the Animator Pro movie. Just to be on the safe side, I've tested the player with…
#Saving As Quicktime Mov
Message #186591
When I save an animation sequence as a Quicktime movie in Animator Pro version 1.0, the resulting file will not play back in my Quicktime for Windows 2.00 player. I think I need help! Background is as follows: – Original sequence is a series of 110 *.tga files, 320 X…
Jonas – Thanks for the reply about object alignment – and pleased to meet you! I have the book and CD, and I've already learned a lot from your implementation in CAMTRACK. My problem was actually an extension of your program: in addition to rotating the objects, I wanted to…
#Align to Camera Script
Message #185436
I have been labouring to develop a script, either in Keyscript or The Script Extension PXP, align any given object to the view plane of the camera. The basic approach has been to align a dummy object within the 3DS scene, and then query the position and rotation of this…
>>I do not believe that there is but you are able to see the coordinates of your >>selection at the top of your screen while you are selecting the region. Maybe I'm confused here – in the camera viewport, my system shows only the starting coordinates of the selection box…
#Rendering Region
Message #153770
I spotted one of your replies to another forum member, so I thought I might try asking you a question. Hope you don't mind. I'm trying to find a way of rendering just a small region of my camera viewport. The Render Region option allows me to set the region…
Render Region
Message #153308
Can anyone tell me how to specify numerically a region to render? I need to know the exact screen coordinates for later reconstruction. Any help appreciated. Neil
Clipping sequence of ima
Message #4318
As a long time user of Imagemaster on the Amiga, I'm now trying to find my way around WinImages. It seems to have all the power and then some, but its taking some getting used to. My specific task at the moment is to crop a sequence of 640 x…
>>What happens when you use a text editor or notepad to type those parameters back into the .INI file. >>Does it work? Does it work then reset back to 0 next time you use it? No. The only way that I can restore the CD Audio is to go back…
#Animation Player
Message #95420
Brian – Re: MCI Animation Driver installation I found your name on another message – hope you don't mind my directing a message to you. I've loaded the MCIAAP.DRV entry into my SYSTEM.INI file, and added the driver to the Windows\System directory, as instructed in the MCIAAP.DOC. My problem is…
