You're right! It looks incredible, and just think of the possibilities of the architecture. Maybe just replace Videopost by a mix of Premiere with Animator Studio, or all the possibilities of having direct access to the rendering pipeline. I think that I have to relearn to program after 15 years,…
#READ!!! 3DSMAX Part 1
Message #184040
!!Congratulations for 3D Studio MAX!! My best wishes that this release will scare all the competitors (It already scared me by the new way of doing animations. Now YG is really talking TEK Regards, Vanny
Brent: Glad that my suggestion about the "polymaps" was worth for an upgrade. Maybe I should ask a discount on it 🙂 . Vanny
Dennis: I tested Premiere 4.0 with the PAR MCI drivers, and they work quite well (except that I have to toy around with field ordering). You have to: 1. Be sure to have the PAR decimation chip installed 2. Install the PAR MCI drivers using the DPS installer. 3. Use…

Meshpaint wish
Message #172418
Brent: While playing with Meshpaint (great toy), I came with this wish that could be interesting and easy to implement: To have an option that, using the mapping coordinates applied to the object, at the push of a button paints all the edges of the object into the map. Since…

Message #122083
David: In the Magic3 dialog box, appears a slider "Gravity influence" that is not mentioned in the manual. What is i's usage? Also, I noticed that for each additional frame calculated, Magic takes longer calculating the particles (for example, in a P90, in the first frame it takes 1 sec.,…

Problem with decal/alpha
Message #94311
I downloaded your adot.ixp, and is just what I needed. I have used it in a series of maps, with the pizel value at 254, and the alpha channel is active in the Material Editor. Very thanks for your time and available help.
Just now! Thanks, Vanny
Just now! Thanks, Vanny
Ara: The problem is that I cannot make a full screen opaque decal using alpha channel. The black dot (better an almost white dot) is in the alpha channel so the Material Editor can recognize it. Currently, the Material Editor treats an alpha channel made of all pixels at level…
Hi Greg: I just came from Miami, installed everything and worked out the rat nest in the back of the computer. All is working well, and convinced me to buy the Pentium for more slots and bays. Vanny.
Thanks Gary: I'm not in a hurry. I'll look for another workarounds. I think the best way to go in this case is a routine that takes separate targa and alpha files and makes a single 32 bit targa. I'll have to check if some image processing program does that.…
Thanks Gary, but… Ignore Map Alpha works well. But I'm at the mercy of the top-left pixel and in some frames makes the decal transparent in some areas, which I don't want. With rotoscoped frames, any color could be the key. I cannot surround the frame with a key color…
#Problem with decal/alpha
Message #93801
I'm having problems using video rotoscoped with the PAR (thanks Greg, is working wonderful) as a decal. I wish to use all the frame as opaque using an all white alpha channel, but I have no success with this. The Material Editor does not recognize an all white alpha channel.…
#Exabyte installation
Message #57279
Very thanks. On monday I'll call my dealer so he can find our why the boards came without the drivers. This will anyway take for me some time.Thanks, Vanny
Thanks. But all people that I know use the Adaptec controller (only two), received only the card and the installation "page". No drivers.
I said no error message. Only that it needed virtual memory to work, adn aborted the installation. I made the permanent swap file and installed successfully. Regards, Vanny

Message #57250
I have just installed the one that came with the Abekas driver, and it works fine (win3.1+Dos5.0), but only after creating a permanent swap file (I have 32 Mb ram) Regards, Vanny.

Exabyte installation
Message #57249
Just what I do not have. Do you know if these files are supposed to come with the adapter, or I have to ask them apart?. And in effect, I need the WINASPI.DLL for the ASDG driver, but I don't have it neither. Thanks for your reply, but since I…

#Personal Animation Rec.
Message #45610
I have just received from Digital Processing Systems Inc. a brochure of their Personal Animation Recorder (for the Amiga, but by year end they will get out one for PC). This card ($2000) should record to a dedicated IDE hard disk ($1000) from 3 to 5 minutes of "digital component…
