Try the two Microsoft books on CD-ROM. They are recommended. Don't forget the (gag) MAC SE and MAC II.

Hard Drive/Amiga 2000
Message #59004
Well, E.J., it would be a heck of a commute. I live in Seattle.
I'll believe it when I see it. You guys haven't even upgraded ANIMATOR yet. Also you didn't return the postcards I enclose when I send letters to companies (to make sure they got them). EA not only sent back the card, they sent three pages of C source code to…
Thanx Rocky, but Video is my middle name! (And am I mad at my mother…..)
I believe $800 was the usually price bandied about…..
Your statement is still misleading—You do not NEED a single-framer for >normal
Ray Tracing Juggler
Message #46541
Since Digiview gives a 2-D image, and ray-tracing demands a 3D universe, I don't think it would be very appropriate. Jeric
#video software/hardware
Message #46540
Marlene, your comment about DVIDEO needing a single-framing VTR is misleading—you only NEED a single-framer if you are going to use Super-Slow mode….and since there is no way to automate the process, it would be very tedious to sit there and push the frame advance. It is quite possible to…

D.O.A. RAMBOard
Message #46534
Well, I got my board…..and it was DOA. Tried various software tests, no-go. I am shipping it back to TS. I talked to a GOOD local dealer here, he says his C-Ltd HD won't work with the RAMBO. For about $.02 I'd say, just give me my f***ing money back.…

#Aegis animator
Message #44605
Marlene, you're nuts. As someone who actually has to produce animations with this stuff, I MUCH prefer Animator in terms of ease of use, speed of generation, NO DISK ACCESS, and much better color resolution. True, you've got razzle dazzle effects on DV, but they don't get used that much,…

Make sure it has 2:1 interlace or it is useless .
To do WHAT?? Catch a clue, boy, you have to be more specific. DRAW is a CAD program, not a "drawing" program.
You pay dirt cheap, you get dirt software….c'mon , $70 ain't that much.
Bless you, my son! >>>Jeric
Got hold of D. Briggs today…they "promise" to send by Monday… Artwork and piracy story….These people deserve a book to be written about them–by the Harvard Business School.

Then why do they cost so much commercially? Actually, I'm pricing the other way other way—NTSC encoders (from RGB) cost about $2000 ($2k).

#RGB encoding
Message #42385
I doubted because of the present cost of RGB encoders….I would certainly be pleasantly surprised if that were so.

Storyboard software
Message #42029
Could anyone or everyone tell me their candidate for the best storyboard producing software? Kludges will be accepted. Thank you!
"Big surprises later this year…"? They better hurry, this one is almost over 🙂
#RGB encoding
Message #42027
I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the composite output of my wonderful Amiga….has anyone experimented with using an RGB encoder to make it into NTSC? I realize encoders cost about $2K, but "zignal uber alles". Asidely, AW states that the genlocker will output the overlayed signal on both the composite AND…
#CALIGARI observation
Message #42026
Is it my imagination, or are there no shadows in the Caligari pics in AmigaWhirled?….Tsk, tsk, maybe they will be there when they release it.
Ah,well, that is much more reasonable….of course, it was SUPPOSED to be out 8 months ago…..;-)

#Edit Decision List
Message #42020
No, a standard 30 frame would be fine.
In the last message, that was "timer", not "time"….I'm marketing a small switchbox that makes it easy to switch from the camera to the digitizer (No more reaching around…) I'd like to know what something like that would be worth to Digi-View owners, so I can figure out if it…

#INFO ON DIGIVIEWER
Message #36486
Well, unless the material is glossy and wrinkled a little, or is a shiny three dimensional object. I'd say a good idea is to put a time that you have to crank up each time on your lights, thereby negating the chance of leaving them on for a long period…

Since I'm presently freelancing (read "unemployed") I had time to go to the Universtiy of Washington (Seattle) Engneering library….in one of the technical jounals of computer graphics there was an algorithm to reduce ray-tracing operations from 0(N**2) operations to O(N), a significant speed-up. Thought you'd be interested.

FCC
Message #33102
FCC philosophy- The airwave (frequency spectrum) belong to the people as a limited resource, for the purpose of cummunication. RFI interfers with that process, and so is a pollution of a public resource, one the FCC is chartered to regulate. Therefore, they have the right to regulate possible sources of…

Sidecar/ram expansions
Message #28424
The Sidecar seems to plug not only into the expansion port, but also into the joystick/mouse ports. Now, since the Sidecar is a line terminator, and the present memory cards that I've seen don't plug into the mouse port, does anybody anticipate difficulty putting your Comspec board between your Amiga…

Bitching About COMPUTE
Message #28178
First point, COMPUTE hasn't been all that great for two years anyway. So who cares …oh, sorry, subscribers do have legitmate complaints. Second, while COMPUTE magazine may be run by jerks that swallow whole the lines the Tramials feed the press, COMPUTE BOOKS seem to be doing an admirable job…

deluxe video
Message #27673
Cubicomp is a $30,000 peripheral to an AT-compatible that does three- dimensional graphics at extremely high resolution and many, many colors (possible thousands simultaneously). It is used in high end video/film production houses. It does NOT operate in real time.

Well, that's wonderful. (See, not so difficult). On the other hand, I don't think that I'll be buying a vpr-6 in the near future — is that an Ampex? Where are you located? Here's the dream—using a film recorder and three exposures, the Amiga can display all 4,096 colors on…

Well, how about a 3-d solid shape graphics program that uses the WHOLE screen (the max hardware screen), and triggers either a film recorder (animation camera) or a single frame VCR so you can set it up to do something overnight. Ray tracing is so elegant an algorithm, n'est pas?…
