#.LOC files
Message #171363
To any 3D Studio user: I was looking for ASOFT, but being new to Compuserve, I couldn't find it. I need to know what a .LOC file is. I haven't been able to render anything because a .LOC file could not be created.

One extra unregistered copy of 3ds rel 4 for sale call for price and details Max Ehrlich 212 725-1338
Kyle, Thanks for the mapping tip.
I've been following this thread about A.M. and I have a question you might be able to answer. Is the spline modeling feature set in A.M. the same as the lower priced playmations features?
Star Field Generation
Message #161615
Being a relatively new user of 3DS, there are plenty of things I've yet to learn. One of these things is how to animate the star field generated by the STAR_.IXP. If anyone could enlighten me on this it would be much appreciated.

Does using a rendering of an isometric view (say the front) as a reference for creating a texture map limit the usefulness of the resulting texture mapped mesh to only frontal views? ME

#.ifl files
Message #159376
I*m looking for a way to edit .ifl files. I've created them, but cannot seem to control how many frames to display each image during the animation. They just repeat one right after the other, even though I've been in the text editor and assigned a number to each image.…

Joe, PMJI. You need another projector spotlight to project a shadow image of the trees on the wall with all other objects excluded from it to simulate shadows. ME
student update
Message #154884
Just wanted to check in and say I'm enjoying the course so far ME
Sus, If you have Inside 3D Studio the included cd rom contains at least one paint package that you can shell out to from within 3DS. ME
Robert, If the mesh you are decaling is lofted with mapping on the decal is centered on the vertex that is specified as "first" in the shaper. ME
Jonas, My dealer VCA in Manhatten has plead ignorance as well. ME
Glenn, Your monster looks great! Did you loft a tube of sorts to apply the bones to? ME
John,
Gary, If smooth works in a similar fashion to the way Greg described Metaform it will be an invaluable modeling tool. ME
Great job on the Voyager model. I love the shot where it is flying over the astriod belt and you can see its' reflection. Is Metaform is a subset of lightwave? Can you produce similar results using the smooth utility that shipped with Bones Pro?
Max, I am not on the west coast however I have worked on projects remotely before and found it not to be a problem. I have been using 3D Studio for four years to create animations for multimedia applications and I also teach a course in animation at a local…
Hi Greg, Will PARCTL allow for any kind of nonlinear editing through Video post? ME
Gary, My first approach to the seran wrapped cake would be to get some samples scan them map the scans onto your objects and eat the samples. Sorry if this is too simple. ME
Jim, Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can get authorization for the 36 clams, it sounds well worth it. ME

#Library sections
Message #150768
I was asked to upload files for NAAUG telecourses to Library section 14. Would that be the NAAUG/UsrGrp/AdeskU section? Thanks ME
Problem solved, Turn off the fog setting in the atmosphere settings. Thanks Max, I'm such a knuckle head! Question would distance que have the same effect on my alpha channel ME
#Alpha ?
Message #149803
I've set up a rendering of a monitor screen for compositing using an alpha channel. When rendered from the camera view the alpha channel masks out all 640×480 pixels even though it should only mask out a small portion of the image. If I convert the camera view to a…
John, I am an animator who has used 3DS for four years. I also am a part time instructor of animation at a local Auto Desk Training center. I am looking for a way to make a decent living animating without having to live in New York City. I would…
Mark, DeBabelizer runs on the mac and will convert your 3DS animations to quicktime and many other formats. ME
Scott Yes, this is a possibility I will consider if there is no way to precisely align the camera. Thanks ME
Thanks Bill. Thanks Michael ME
Martin, Thanks mate, I hadn't thought of rendering the shadow seperately. If it is somewwhat transparent that would be perfect. ME
David Thank you for the advice. If I understand you correctly your method involves aligning the camera to the rectangle by eye. I am looking for a more precise way to do this because I would like to render only the lower right hand corner of the background where the…
Martin, Thanks for the reply. The doo dad is animated and will be superimposed by the client over the bottom right corner of hundreds of text slides. Therefore it is critical that the background for the animation be in exact alignment with the background of the text slides so there…
Bill, I would like to thank you for your description of skinning a cereal box any help I can get in this area is greatly appreciated I wonder if you could upload the mesh to the library or E-mail it to me also so I could get a better idea…

#Cant leave file in Lib.
Message #146500
I am trying to upload a problem file for inspection by Jonas and recieved the message that there is no room in the library section were I wanted to put it. I have tried several sections with the same results. The file is zipped and takes up 46,000 bytes approximately.…
Dave and Bob, Thanks for the info on the TP guide I'll have to drop by the strand to see if they have a copy. > I heard "Crawling From The Wreckage" used in an ad on the discovery channel last night. Later ME
PMJI I've been lurking here for the last couple of days and am an avid collector of vinyl including 70's and 80's punk and new wave stuff which brings me to the question can you put me in touch with the TP Record Guide? What ever happened to Dave Edmunds?…

My arms are all ears. ME
Alfonzo, Thanks for the cool program. I do remember your post about blob.02a thanks for the reminder I will DL it as soon as I am done reading. I like the new cone/tube componants. I find it difficult to select componants that occupy the same space Question 1: when building…
