#Par network Rendering
Message #169456
Dear fellow animators, I have two P100's on a Lantastic network. I can't seem to render directly into the Par drive over the network. Is this at all possible? Alex Imbastari
Hi Chris, I can feel your pain. If its a DOS limitation, any network that runs under DOS is precluded. I'll give DPS a call. Alex Imbastari
#Par network Rendering

I have two P100's over a Lantastic network. Even though I am able to render directly to my PAR drive from the Machine where the Par is located, it invariable fails when I try to render from the networked machine directly into the Par. Has anyone out there been succesfull…

Message #168145
I recently installed Lantastic on a two Pentium Network. I have a Par in the dongled Pentium. When I activate network render and point to the Par as the save drive, the render fails on frame one. If I point to any other drive it works fine. Is Par network…

#SpaceShip Exhaust
Message #161799
Hi, I am trying to use Spurt.AXP for the flames coming out of a rocket engine on a spaceship. Even though I have acheived an adequate look, I was wondering if anybody knows the right set of parameters/technique to realize a highly realistic look? ALEX IMBASTARI PIXELathe
Hi, Animation Master is a animation apckage by HASH Inc. It has a really cool spline patch modeler for building organic shapes. I use it for modeling. Export it as a DXF file and then import it into the 3d Editor. Works great. ALex Imbastari Pixelathe

Render Only Dec Alpha NT
Message #155863
HI There is nothing available on alpha for 3dstudio. I am however working witht he Cyberspace group for a port on our alpah systems for VR applications. It looks pretty fast. ALEX IMBASTARI CARRERA COMPUTERS
I made the same mistake. After waisting time and pulling my remaining hair out, I finally returned the card, called Vibrant and under the table asked them what the best card was for 3Ds. They recommended the ATI Graphics ProTurbo. Worked great from day one. Get that one.
#Corrupted files on WTK
Message #155858
Hi all, When I try to load a background image from the WTK Cdrom, 3DS returns with an error message "Corrupted TGA file" How can I fix this. Alex Imbastari
Thanks. See you at NAB! We'll be in the Newtech Pavilion.
THanks for the heads up. Won't do it again. So far haven't had any nasties coming in. Alex Imbastari
Troy, I had the same problem with my Matrox Imp + with 4 meg. After much pain, i finally exchanged it for an ATI Graphics Pro turbo. Vibrant drivers are flawless. Life is wonderfull once more!! Alex Imbastari

3DS with ATI Mach 64 PCI
Message #151293
I agree. Vibrant guys recommend the ATI Mach 64. Besides they stand behind their products, unlike Diamond.
I have a Pentium 90 Mhz, 3 PCI slots, 5 ISA/Vesa Local Bus slots. THanks for your help. Alex Imbastari Carrera Computers
Hi yann, I have tried the autocad drivers and it still doesn't work. Could you outline the basic steps. thanks Alex Imbastari
#3DS matrox driver
Message #144839
When will 3DStudio or Vibrant produce a driver for 3DSR3 or R4 for the MAtrox Impression Plus graphics card. I need to know asap, so I can return it before my return policy expires. THanks, Alex Imbastari
I called MAtrox and they told me that the Impression Plus was not supported yet. Does anybody really know whats going on!!@#$?
Craig, THe matrox Impression Plus is not siuported by 3dStudio or Vibrant. I got stuck with it. Hope they come out with it soon. Alex Imbastari

I would like to know if 3DS will be ported over to Windows NT. Also if there will be a RISC version of 3DS, ie Alpha or MIPS. Given the availability of RISC versions of some of your competitors products, such as LIGHTWAVE, REAL3D, PLAYMATION and SOFTIMAGE, it seems to…

Does anyone know, if 3DS R3 or R4 will run on WNT on an INTEL processor. I'm considering installing WNT on my system, if the above is affirmative. THanks Alex Imbastari
