#1.1 update
Message #197211
Nik I've haven't gotten my AS v1.1 update yet. Can you check on my status. Also, I've never received my hardcopy of the AS manual. I'll send you my mailing address via e-mail Thanks Mike
Check the latest issue of tess – #531, it has a writeup about HSC. http://www.3dartist.com/tess/tessmain.htm
Dave Any idea when shipping will begin? Will it be in dribs and drabs like the c1 patch or an all at once mailout. Are there new manuals, etc. BTW, I still haven't received my manual. I got the c1 update though. Thanks Mike
Can you send me some information on your IPAS routines/add me to your mailing list. Thanks Mike
Dave Thanks for the help with the time-based filters, I've got it straight now. Thanks again. Have you seen the new studio release yet? I see that there are some complaints about it already. Also, have you seen the hidden message in the help/about section. Talk about not instilling your…
#Studio tutorial
Message #182532
Can you help me with a question regarding this tutorial below? I guess I'm missing something here, but how do you resize a selection? >>Resize the box so it is tall and narrow and centered over the far right edge of the animation.> Now we'll make a page curl effect.…
Peter Put me down for one of your NURBS info packets. Mike
Joe Where are you located? I've found just about every software company to be pretty bad about service in Canada. Even Corel has it's moments of inspired idiocy. That may not be only service related though. It doesn't surprise me to find out that Adesk was unaware of the demise…
I agree with you. I wouldn't want to see Adesk announce products that don't ship. I also wouldn't expect a rundown of new features. I was referring to existing products awaiting upgrades, platform ports, etc. I think we can presume a Win95 &/or NT release of AAS will arrive. Why…
Joe I'm in Canada so this particular offer is probably restricted to here. It's just a couple of brochures, an 800# and a serial number to use for ordering. I'm sure there is some sort of upgrade offer for elsewhere. If you haven't got anything yet I guess you should…
Jeremy I have no doubt that there will be a Win95/NT port. As you say it would be foolish – not to mention damn difficult to stay in business, if there wasn't one. I have no problem with buying AS as a Win 3.x product, first version flaws and all.…
It's pretty irritating that Adesk will never comment on their plans. I think that this hurts Adesk's customers and by extension Adesk itself. My situation illustrates this. The offer I received was time limited – June 25th, but I will not purchase without knowing about Win95/NT update & pricing. I…
#Animator Studio upgrade?
Message #171602
I received an offer to upgrade Animator Pro to Animator Studio. From the messages I've seen it is only a Win3.x product with no stated update/upgrade plans for Win95 or NT versions. I would purchase it now, knowing that there will be a free or low cost update/upgrade for Win95…
Can you check your e-mail. I sent you an e-mail on the 10th. I've sent the e-mail again.
Gary Too bad about the lack of student pricing with IPAS routines. Still I can't complain if you hand me a piece of cake, but it has no icing . I appreciate your/adesk consideration of the student situation, I wouldn't have 3DS otherwise. My dad is doing fine now. I…
#Yost IPAS
Message #169489
Gary I guess you didn't get my e-mail so I've reposted the message here. —————– I purchased a student version of 3DS and was wondering if there was some sort of similar pricing break for your Yost IPAS routines. The complete set would cost me more then 3DS itself. Also,…
#4c1 upgrade
Message #169488
I just got my 4c1 upgrade package today and it's on 3.5 inch floppies. Can I get a media change to the CD version? How do I get it, etc. Thanks Mike
Hi Ben I called last week to check out my order status and was told it will ship the next day. I'm in Canada so between our mutual postal services – a very loose definition of the 'service' word , it may already be on the way. As you've asked…
#Fli player
Message #151520
I'd like to play a flc in MS Powerpoint 4.0 and have some questions. 1. Can I do it? 2. Can it play without the border and title bar? 3. Is there any way to convert a flc file to either quicktime or AVI format? Thanks Mike

I Didn't realize there was a quiz portion to buying your software. Don't worry I'll give it a good home. Seriously, you're correct about NT being a small market segment. I can understand a price differential between win3.xx / NT versions. I have no problems with that or no competitive…
#Winimages
Message #2868
I noticed you have a competitive upgrade offer for Winimages. Is there a competitive upgrade to the NT version as well? What are the proof of ownership requirements? Are there other packages you can upgrade from as well. Besides those listed in the info file? Thanks Mike
#ER CD-version demo
Message #2154
Do you have a CD-version demo of ER available? Any costs or charges for getting one? Can I order it here? Thanks Mike
The Hercules Terminator 64 isn't listed in the viblst.zip file, could be because it's announced, not shipping yet . This is going to be a major card for them and I'll possibly upgrade to it when it's available so I just wanted to check and see if there was any…
Terminator 64 Drivers
Message #134686
Is there or will there be driver support for 3DS v3.0 for the Hercules Terminator64? What about v4.0 when I upgrade? Thanks Mike
Missed Msg?
Message #129659
I guess you must have missed my message. In case it has scrolled off I've copied it here. >> Hi Jeremy I'm back with a few more questions if you don't mind. Will the Kai Power tools be the complete set or just a special subset selection for use with…
Hi Jeremy I'm back with a few more questions if you don't mind. Will the Kai Power tools be the complete set or just a special subset selection for use with Studio? What I was getting at with the Powerpoint, Astound importation into Studio was that all slides from a…
Chris Any chance of putting an info file about ER here or are you only allowed to put Amiga stuff up? >There are no current specials that I am aware of but that is not say that there are none in the works< Any idea what kind of time frame…
I realize that you can't speak directly to this, but I'll try anyway . Is there likely to be any announcement about the future direction/development of Poco or a successor? It seems to me that the apparent lack of a programming language in Studio is a pretty big hole to…
AA Studio
Message #126751
I'm trying to find out if AAPro & AAStudio should be viewed as a complimentary pairing and have a couple of questions. – Will AAStudio be able to use Poco code? – If not will existing Poco code be easily portable to a new scripting language? – Will there be…
#ER Demo
Message #91707
Jason I hope my long-winded msg. about ER (win) from last week hasn't worn out my welcome here. – Can you tell me the pricing of ER(win)? – Is there any competitive upgrades or special offers available? – If not will there be? Can you also post, e-mail or fax…
Anim. Studio 1 – ?s
Message #124175
Two questions regarding the anim. studio release. 1. Is there a more specific ship date then 4th. qtr.? 2. Is POCO still supported? If not is there an equivalent tool available & some utility to convert existing POCO code. Thanks Mike
#Demo Tape Available?
Message #121462
Gary Is your offer for the free demo tape still open. If it is can you hold a tape for me. My envelope will begin trudging it's way to you as soon as I get confirmation the tape is still available. Thanks Mike
Jamie Greaaaaat! Why this feature hasn't been widely publicized is beyond me. Thanks for the tip. What problems are you having? I'm able to retrieve messages between multiple forums with no problems. I haven't tried sending messages or rec/send mail yet though. I'm using v1.3 as well. Let me know…
Jamie Pardon me for jumping in. What is this AutoPilot feature for WinCim you mention? Thanks Mike
Softimage
Message #85780
Gary Thought you might be interested in this tidbit. On Sunday night the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) ran a five minute piece on the MS purchase of SoftImage on their weekly business show. They had on-camera interviews with "Technology Analyst" – Paul Kedrosky; Softimage Pres. – Peter Crombie; MS Cda.…
I was was trying to be both generously optimistic and kind . Mike
If you took my message the wrong way I guess that just proves what I was saying about individual vision . Actually, I should have said what I did say with more clarity. Just ascribe that to my perpetual envelopment by a fog effect . The logo market will always…
Never thought there wasn't people still making logos. Any individual that has the drive, vision and courage to start a business will inevitably look (hopefully ) to having that achievement recognized in a good logo animation created by someone who's artistry is possessed of the same drive and vision. My…
Could you pass on those magazines/journals titles, and any address, phone, fax info you can round up. Getting hold of specialized magazines can be a chore around here, unless you know exactly what you want. Most often you end up phoning a distributor and trying to convince them to do…
How much material is there in your upcoming book and Applied 3D Studio about 3DS2? That may be the way I end up going. Could you give me pricing info on both books. Be kind , you wouldn't believe what the exchange rate and taxes do to purchases – 36%…
Thanks for the advice. I'm a student too, so commercial production isn't my biggest concern. Stability, quality of output, future growth of the product and upgrade path are. I've looked into a student version of 3DS for these reasons and the local dealer told me v3.0 is $1,500, which is…
I've been seeing the occasional message about Playmation. Do you have the name of the company that produces it and their phone, fax numbers as well, if you have them? What do you think of the product. How capable is it. Being a windows based program what is the speed…
Thanks for the help – things are working great. Mike
#AAP & Viper?
Message #49429
I'm using AAP v1.0 with a Diamond VIPER VLB and would like to use a higher resolution – currently only 320×200. Is there a driver available. Thanks Mike
1.3 Upgrade
Message #33799
I'm trying to decide if I'll purchase the 1.3 upgrade. 1.3 doesn't offer too much to me that I want to pay $199 for, but future versions probably will, Will I lose my upgrade rights for future versions and have to pay full price if I skip this upgrade, or…
