Thanks for your input! In parallel to you suggesting this, I decided to put FILES =40 in my CONFIG file and it worked! (Please see my complete explaination under a "Help Please" note posted in the messages section). One question- *WHY* would I have success in rendering a flic using…
Thanks for your input. I found the problem (look in a reply to Martin). Thanks again for your input. -D
I got it! FINALLY! I stuck FILES=40 in my config .sys on a lark and it worked! Didn't mess with how small I could make it though (FILES=20 or whatever). Since DOS defaults FILES to 8 unless you specify otherwise, we must need more than 8! Perhaps Video Post is…
Martin- Thanks for helping me with this! >> It's probably a config problem, it's definetly not 3ds "source code".> Tell us what happens when you type "cfig386 3ds.exe" in the 3ds directory. You should get a bunch of parameters. -vdisk -minreal 4096 -maxreal 40000 -nur -intmap 8 -vscan 16000 -swapdir…
Anne, Is there any way I can get an A-desk rep who is profficient with the product to help me with this? My local rep knows less about the product than I. I suspect the nature of this problem will require someone with more intimate knowledge of the source code.…
Martin, Thanks for your suggestion. I too thought it might be a disk problem but have noticed that, first of all, I am using the Galactic Ripple tutorial which uses a 320×200 flic on low pallette. In addition, it fails while encoding the 256-color image after rendering the first frame.…
Help with Video Post
Message #191024
*Technical Support Needed* I am a registered 3DS R3 user. Recently, I have had an opportunity to experiment with the Video Post function. I have followed the "Galactic Ripple" tutorial line by line, and have gone through it 3 times from scratch with the same results: When rendering, it goes…
SO . . . Is someone going to contact me?!?
#Where R4?
Message #157583
I still haven't received an answer from you guys yet on a question I had several weeks ago: Why am I not receiving upgrade information from Adesk on R4 of 3DS even though I'm a registered user? In fact, I've even left phone messages with my Honeywell corporate rep and…
It's interesting that I have no comment from A-desk on this yet. . . Perhaps I am getting yours!
#R4 upgrade info
Message #149845
I find it odd that I have not received any mailings from Autodesk asking me to upgrade my 3DS3 to R4. Why is this? I am a registered user.
Thanks much! I'll check 'em out! -D
Will do!
#WWII Plane Meshes
Message #135030
I'm looking for a source for some WWII fighter plane meshes. In particular, the Chance Vought F4U Corsair (like the ones on Baa Baa Black Sheep). Any ideas for a cheap, or even better, FREE source would be greatly appreciated! -Darrin
Messed up Disk 2
Message #120639
Thanks for the response Jeff. My local dealer is supposedly working the issue with your center already. I guess there is a two-week delay due to some modifications you are making to your system. I guess that's what I get for not making backups. . . Regards, Darrin
#Messed up Disk 2
Message #119496
I recently experienced some problems with my PC and had to reload all of my software. Unfotunately, I got a verify error on my original 3DS3 #2 disk. I also got caught with my pants down because I didn't make backups. Norton Disk Doctor screwed it up even more. .…
#Help with stars
Message #118641
I could use some advice on creating a starfield for use in animations. I am a registered, licensed user of 3DS R3 and AAPro. My problem is in creating a "universe" of background stars for use in 3D animations. I have successfully created a GIF starfield in 640×480 using AAPro…

Compaq Memory
Message #83658
I'm looking for 4Mb memory modules for a Compaq Deskpro 386/25e. Used is fine as long as they work. . .
I understood NTSC to imply the scanning range of the monitor (15 to 38 K Hz) and Analog RGB to specify the input signal type. I'm not a hardware guru so I wouldn't be surprised to find out I'm wrong. I'm located in Phoenix, AZ and my budget depends on…
**WANTED** NTSC Monitor
Message #73674
WANTED: Analog RGB Monitor suitable for hook-up to Targa + card. Prefer 19" or larger but will consider smaller sizes.
Good deal. I'll wait to hear from you. . .
Chuck, I'd like to get a "carefully used" one, if possible. (It seems you always spend a lot more for new, and in this case I really don't need new.) Thanks for the tip, though. If I can't find a used one soon I'll look into one of these. Have…

Wanted- NTSC Monitor
Message #72160
Wanted- Analog RGB Monitor suitable for hookup to Targa +. Prefer at least 19" but will consider others. MUST have docs. Please reply via E-Mail.
A guy here in Phoenix who supposedly knows alot about these things uses the following: Sony MP30, 3M P6-30HMPX, and Maxell XR-M15. He doesn't actually do single frame recording though, so I question whether this is really the appropriate thing or not. These might actually be consumer quality rather than…

Thanks! I'll give that one a shot. I'm seeing some feedback on the Maxell tape (I don't know what part #). Heard anything about that? -Darrin

HI-8 Tape
Message #70568
I've just purchased a Targa + 16/32 and an EVO-9650. I'm looking for advise on the best tape to buy. I'm looking for something rugged (to practice on) and something that produces good quality tapes for clients. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Manufacturer & part number would be perfect!

Want to purchase hardwar
Message #66754
Thanks for the info! It looks like you're a dealer- Can you send me some info on these products, along with a diagram of how the components hook up (to be sure I understand the complete picture) along with pricing on each component? I'm in Phoenix, AZ. My daytime number…
#Want to purchase hardwar
Message #66547
I've just purchased R3 of 3D Studio. I'm interested in getting the appropriate hardware to render videos. I understand the Sony EVO-9650 and the Targa + 16 are good entry level components. Is this true, and is there a source for getting used but well maintained examples?
