#The Screamer
Message #61726
Sorry for my ignorance,… What is a bloody SPECMark? knowbody I know knows.
Gee…. I don't suppose there is any chance that the Amiga could be run from this thing is there? Would do wonders for other programs. 😉 Tom Spyrison Toast Inside

Anybody know where I can find a detailed image map of just the United States or North Carolina? I need to move in real close to the planet for these details and the image I have now blurs real close. Tom Spyrison, Toast Inside
#wall windows
Message #33498
Need some help here… I created an outline of a floorplan in Delux Paint, and extruded the bitmap with pixel 3D 2.0. Worked decent. Now… How do I cut out the windows ?? Still working with LW 2.0 ( Waaaaa ) 😉 P.S. Is there going to be an estimated…
Yea, I need ideas. After having all sorts of ideas before I bought the stuff, now I can't seem to think of a thing. (keep in mind my ability as an animator is still at the novice level because I didn't care to render in 24 bit only to convert…
#SVO-9600
Message #33346
Well fellas, After I FINALLY got my SVO-9600, the 422 interface, time code board, and SFC I am very happy to report that machine DOES single frame animations. The thing I'm unhappy about is the people I bought the stuff from (that is another FLAMEing story). Yea! Now I have…
Could you not use a fractle transparancy map with Velocity? My question is how to make the thing look like "gas" instead of multiple planes. Lots of real close planes? This is something I'v wondered about myself. Anybody wish to make an attempt? Tom Spyrison, Toast Inside
Cool, just watched my copy of the Amiga Gang tape. Great work to all. Eric, one comment about the Arcade sequence… IM NOT WORTHY, IM NOT WORTHY Jerry…, Dittos. My SVO-9600 should be showing up anytime now.., and I'd like to contribute to the next version. Tom Spyrison, Toast Inside
#C
Message #35584
Is SAS/C like C++? What is the difference? Tom Spyrison Toast Inside
>Reading that script, it looks like it expects the brush size and name >then saves the new brush out with '.map' on the end. Yea, when I try it, it returns me to the dos prompt with no error messages making me think it worked. The problem is I cant…
I had written a note to the programer of the Lightwave Particle Fountain I uploaded, to see if he was planning to add something more to it…(my first time on Internet). His response might interest some of you…. —————————————————– Tom, I'm glad I checked mail for the first time in…

Message #32062
Question… I just got off the phone with a fellow ( Not sure if I ought to say where he works, but he had one of these on his desk and wasn't allowed to tell me anything (much)) who told me to wait before purchasing the 9600. There is a…
#Arexx
Message #59166
Has anyone had any trouble with TxBrush.rexx? I cant get it to do what it out to. I don't get any error codes, and it seems to do something, but I cant find the output file. Any Ideas?
Dont have it quite yet…. Tom Spyrison, Toast Inside
The fellow at Nucleus Electronics told me their Personal SFC supports the 9600 and has been made aware of any problems with it. The price of the 9600 can't be beat for a new pro-level vcr. The down side is I will have to upgrade Amilink to CIP ($695), then…

Message #58394
Does anyone use the Sunrise Industries AD516 with the Panassonic AG1960 VCR? Sunrise told me that I would be able to stripe a tape with Time code, then record the audio by chasing the time code onto the other audio track. My question is… How would I play the SMPTE…

Message #58321
Has anybody had the problem of when using TXMap, lines being offset outside of the outline? (usally one big and one small bar)?? Tom Spyrison Toast Inside
from: Anthony Ramirez 70275,1027 >>Yes, this is correct. I just saw the T4000 installed in a A4000 and I was very impressed. The color wipes and real-time anim playback are GREAT!!! LW/Modeler are also very impressive. You can actually make your own wipes with LW anims and you will see…

#DCTV Animation
Message #55637
Does anybody know where I could get my hands on a DCTV animation tape? Can't seem to find anybody around here with the darn thing.
So you mean that text file I found had some truth to it ???? Tom Spyrison,
After attending a local Amiga users group, a couple friends of mine said that the speaker was from CBM, and reportedly advised the group that "instead of buying a 4000, save your money and wait…the next computer will make the 4000 obsolete " Otherwise I would have not posted the…
A couple of friends went to a local Amiga users group, and the speaker (from CBM) told them not to run out and buy a 4000, but that the next computer was going to make the 4000 obsolete and to save their money for that. Otherwise I would not have…

I have read about the lightwave upgrade, can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. Has anyone heard anything about the upgrades for everything else? By chance would the pixelation on DVE's be reduced/eliminated? Tom Spyrison
