>>>Check the file itself to asure it is spelled hand_i.axp. All files with the .AXP extension will show up in the list box BUT without the " _i " some routines won't execute. Give this a try. Will do, Lee. I'll let you know how it works out.
#IPAS Troubles
Message #188645
HELP! I'm trying to get acquainted with IPAS usage and I can do the Tornado just fine. However, the "Hand" example presents a problem: I get the error message, "Cannot locate HAND_I.AXP," or something to that effect, when I hit the "Settings" button. My Process path in 3DS.SET is definitely…
_AXP Not Located?
Message #188562
Hi Nik! I'm trying to get acquainted with IPAS usage and I can do the Tornado just fine. However, the hand presents a problem: I get "HAND_I.AXP Not Located," or something to that effect, when I hit the "Settings" button. My Process path in 3DS.SET is correct. What else is…
Thanks, Greg. I got the fix. I just wish I could jam it into the space the board BIOS loads into. I could use the extra 33K of high mem.
Thanks, Mark. I foolishly left that message before browsing for other folks with the same complaint. I got the fix almost immediately afterward. Now, if you could just tell me how to force that BIOS into the space formerly occupied by the BIOS that loads from the adapter ROM on…
#Vibrant Troubles
Message #182733
Is my face red? I seem to have spec'd a very nice display card that's not able to display 24 bit resolution under 3D Studio control! I refer to the Diamond Stealth 64 Video 3200 (VRAM). The Vibrant 3D Studio driver doesn't seem to support the Stealth 64 Video 3200.…
#Network Choices
Message #180710
We're getting ready to install a network in our multimedia production company. I can't figure out which is the better choice; Lantastic or WFWs. I 've been told there's a driver in/with/for? WFWs that facilitates network operations on machines running DOS only – like when running 3DS… but I've also…
Just ask your friends who bought into Lightwave NT how they like crashing every 15 minutes.
But then, why would I want to subject myself to NT? Isn't it bad enough just trying to get productive work done in the already hopelessly intricate and capricious environment that is the world of graphics & animation, as it is today? …he half jests.
#Dual Processor Boards
Message #174898
I'm getting ready to buy a new Pentium system and am intrigued by the possibility of getting better rendering performance from a dual processor machine. Does 3DS support or utilize machines so equipped?
Which P90 Sys is Best?
Message #134857
HELP! I keep putting off buying a new P90 system because I've been getting confilicting reports on what kind of performance to expect from various configurations. The last thing I heard was that your vanilla VLB mother board outperforms PCI in head-to-head rendering competition! Is there any truth to be…
Thanks for your response on the motion blur question. I've just sent in my order for release 3. BTW, is it true that a 24 bit version of Animator Pro is in the works for 1Q95?

Is there a Motion Blur IXP out there, somewhere?

OS-2
Message #84146
Does anyone know whether 3DS or Animator Pro work in the OS-2 environment? I suspect that they would not, because of Pharlap.
AAWIN Bugs
Message #82561
Does anyone have any idea when the fade transition bug is going to be fixed. If it weren't for that and the lack of ability to preload multiple flics AAWIN would be a really dandy tool for linear show making.
Image Processing
Message #76125
I am interested in doing some post render image processing in order to get better video output. Specifically, I'd like to bump up contrast by about 15%. Is there an IXP out there to do that? Maybe even an IP Matrix application? Or maybe you know of a decent batch…
Hi Robert. Vtest is my little monster. I'm trying to get someone interested in doing something about this problem. I really don't care who figures it out. I'm just frustrated that this is not my own field of expertise.
