You asked if I have other projects that work fine producing flic files. Yes, I do. None of them is as big as this one, though, and I =think= I remember (but can't swear to it) that when this project was smaller, I was able to produce a flic from…
Hi, Brian. To tell the truth, I don't know a lot about this network. I'm working as a contractor at a large communications company, and they have all the machines networked. I think they're using Netware, but I'm not sure. I was hoping we could do some network rendering when…
Hi, Nik. I tried your suggestions; they didn't make any difference – I'm still getting the dreaded message. All the settings in the 3DS.set file were plain vanilla; they hadn't been changed from the defaults. This problem only seems to happen with this one project, which is fairly large (about…
Thanks for the suggestions, Nik. I'll try it and see what happens, and I'll let you know. Incidentally, I was also having some problems when I was using a network drive as one of my map paths (same project as the one with the "cannot create" message). It seemed that…
Hi, Jonas. Thanks for responding to my anguished cries. To answer your questions: the machine is a 60 Mhz Pentium with 32 megs of ram. I think 3ds sees all (or nearly all) of it. In either case, the project is modest and normally doesn't come near using all that…
#Help! Help!

Hi, everyone. I have a couple of odd problems, would like light shed on them if you have any. 1) In rendering a flc using network rendering with 1 machine, I had some frames rendering in 1 minute 50 seconds, and others rendering in 1 hour 50-some minutes! The animations…
#Demo reel rights
Message #109384
Hi, everyone. I've been using 3DS for a little over a year, and I have finally gotten enough work together to make my first demo tape (yay!). Someone really scared me today, though. They brought up the question of whether I have the right to put work that I did…
Dave – thanks for your help with my targa problem. Your suggestions regarding the Targa plus board make sense – what you mention is what I've got at home with my Targa (which I =know= is a Targa+). This board, though, is pretty clearly not a Targa+ because 3DSR2 uses…
Dave – thanks for your kind help on my targa problem. You recommended getting rid of himem.sys and using qemm; good idea, but this is the client's computer and even though this client is HUGE and very computer-related, it takes eons to get =any= new software around there (I'm still…
Don – thanks for your help with my Targa card problem; sorry it's taken me so long to reply…I had a week of deadlines followed by a 25th high school reunion 1000 miles away! Thanks for the description of what happens when you render directly to tape, i.e. "While the…

Nope; all we use on there is HIMEM.SYS.

Hi, y'all; before I ask my question I want to say thanks for all the great tips and info that are always available here. I'm an avid lurker and have learned a lot about 3DS just from following the threads. Maybe one day I'll join the exalted ranks of the…
#Hi! I'm new here!
Message #46511
Hi, everyone! I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a beginner on 3D Studio (been working with it for about 5 mos.) =and= a beginning animator =and= a beginner with video. At least I am pretty comfortable with computers (having worked as a Cobol,Basic, Fortran, and assembler programmer/analyst…
