Dave, I have seen this problem a few times, but it was years ago. This problem happened on some of the Diamond Video products. What video card and drivers are you using, it sounds like you are using Vesa drivers and not the in-line Vibrant drivers. Give us some more…
Daniel, Check out your PAR.INI file there is a setting in there to adjust the maximum frames in a file. -Mike !^NavFont01F0007MGHHG55E235
Dave, Wow! Kinda scary. I'm not using a FAT, just NTFS so I haven't even seen that file, sure a good one to file away in the old database. Glad to see ya up and going again. -Mike !^NavFont01F0007MGHHG8AAA7A
David, It's going to be hard to trouble shoot without knowing what you have done with hardware/software in the last day or so. My first thought is if your SCSI chain is not properly terminated. The NT operating system takes a good look at your system hardware before booting, I…
Mike, >> Has anyone tried the just released Diamond card that does support 3D rendering and animation?
Eron, The latest version of Speed Razor is up and running without any problems, looks like its time for your first release. The render times on my P90 are about 3x faster than the Win3.1 version of Razor Pro. Will we have the ability to read DPS project files in…
Gary, To add a bit to the comments Alec suggested, you might try playing the .PRJ file in the Media Player to see if audio/video is working. -Mike
M.E. Great name. The Par .ANI file will not be compatible with the PVR file format. There is a way to get them across, but it's not fun. 1) Export TGA files from the PAR to your local disk 2) Create a IFL file and render them as a background…
Gary, There really is not a reason to render to a .STL from RP. All you need to do is use the Freeze Frame Effect or if you want a single frame, render your frame as "Render Selected" to a .ANI format and pull it up to the composition. There…
Hi David, There is a update charge to NT 3.51 and it should be available at your local computer supermarket. It sounds like you downloaded the Service Pack for NT 3.5 (SP1 & SP2 are patches), this is not a 3.51 update. There is a 3.51 Service Pack also, it's…
John, Here is a long shoot- Check the audio output settings and see where it is trying to record your audio files. It might be looking at the PAR drive. -Mike
Tim, I'm using a Turtle Beach Monterey card in NT 3.51 with drivers from a 3rd party vendor, his name is Peter Haller. The drivers are on the MULTIVEN Forum under the Turtle Beach lib section. The drivers only support the Multisound, Monterey and the Tahiti cards. -Mike
Thanks Mark, it got chopped off somehow, I reposted it when I realized what happened. -Mike
Ernie, OOPS! A typo here the "-u" got clipped off of shupdate. >>To uninstall the new shell, go into your newshell directory and type shupdate
Ernie, GO MSDR – It's in lib 15, filename: I386-SH.ZIP, about 2.3Mb To install the new shell, go into your newshell directory and type shupdate. To uninstall the new shell, go into your newshell directory and type shupdate -Mike
Greg,
Terrence, >>dump my Diamond proSE
Greg, With the audio working it has given me the ability to have the NT up and going all the time with the exception of 3DS4. I set up NTServer on a 486 w/16megs, hooked up 4 DOS machines running Lantastic and a NTWorkstation and all is going real well.…
Terrence, The latest Vibrant drivers ver 1.07 work very well with the Viper Pro SE, I'm using them as we speak. I think that they are up here under the hardware section #3. That card is one of the best on the market for the $ and NTWorkstation & NTServer…
Greg & Dave or is it Dave & Greg, I think Dave was the one that started the question. Those drivers you guys are looking for are on the Multiven Forum in the Turtle Beach section. I think they just went up yesterday the file is called MSNDNTEV.ZIP. These cover…
>> I have AutoSurf 2.1/ACADR13 running under NT. ASurf comes with an IGES Translator. Is that the same one AutoDesk sells separately? I'm going to do a few IGES transfers.
Andrew, I went to check the info on Netscape and I was wrong it was Net2Com that was the 32 bit program for NT, sorry. -Mike
>>PMJI>> Andrew, I saw a 32 bit version of Netscape on the WinNT Forum somewhere. I think it was called Netscape2 and I also heard that the original Netscape will not run under NT, it had some problems. You might want scan the WinNT Forum going back a few months…
Thanks John, I think that the question was asked by Tim Krego, I'll pass it along. -Mike
Tim, I do not have AutoSurf, how is that program for modeling? I almost purchased AutoSurf a few months back, but when I saw MAX… well, I changed my mind real quick and decided to wait. There will still be some things that AutoSurf will excel in, like fillets, the…
Greg, I just finished doing a IGES translation then a 3DSOUT from ACAD Rel 13c creating a 200,000+ vertice file and every object translated just fine. Well thats the good news, the bad news is that R13 does not have IGES support so I have purchased the IGES Translator from…
Hi Rachel, If the SCSI adaptor supports SCSI-2 then the chances are that it will work with your current adaptor. Keep us in touch on your decisions. >>Maybe we could do a San Diego User group on "installing a CD writer and Adaptec SCSI adapter" …maybe you need some one-offs?…
Hi Rachel, I thought I would jump in here! >> What's a Pinnacle Micro CD writer?
Andres, Here is the formula for the proper aspect ratio: pixels high Aspect Ratio = ———— * 1.3333 pixels wide 0.8888665 for the PVR @ 720 x 480 You can round off to .89 aspect. I use the default Gamma from 3DS4. -Mike
we'll be here to help you out. -Mike
PAR, TBC, 2217's & Razor
Message #187920
To all, I have a PAR, TBCIV, 2- 2217A's, Razor Pro complete w/manuals & a removable drive kit for the second drive (which enables you to turn the drive off or swap it out). I would like $xxxx.00 for the complete package. All of this equipment is in top notch…
Mike, >> I have one very specific piece of hardware (my FAST Video Machine board)
Greg, I checked out DS9 and Morgans hawk and was surprised to see that these were starships, not sure what you call them, ah!, runabouts . When I saw you describing your runabout problem, I was thinking small little boats, I used to build ocean racing boats, so thats why…
James, Your close, it's here in the AMMEDIA forum called VFD.ZIP (ver. 1.6g) in Lib #7 -Mike
Dave, >> Which version of Razor are you using?
Jez, I'm not sure how you can compare the DXF/3DS relation to the amount of RAM, but here are a few suggestions. First, DXFOUT selected entities to bring down the DXF file size. Next, make sure that there are not more than 64k faces/vertices in each layer, color, or object…
David, >> I want to strip out the audio of an AVI file and save it to the WAV format. I thought Premiere could do this, but I'm wrong
Raymond, >> My computer system is an Intel 486 DX2 50 with 20Mb Ram and about 700Mb hard disk space
Tony, >>I've been trying to change the rendering driver for a few days now, but I can't figure out how.
Exportind 3DS files
Message #187163
Neil, >> I didn't know that r13 had a 64k limit
Greg, Are you lofting these as loft stations like you would built a set of frames in a boat using Deform Fit? If so, are you trying to show planking? Sounds like a cool job. Good luck and glad to help. -Mike
>>PMJI>> Jack, I heard that the dealers will have a $35.00 upgrade for registered 1.0x users. -Mike
Greg Try this -go into the 2D Shaper and select/all, modify/vertex/weld and you will have all of your polygons closed ready for the lofter. -Mike
Mike, >> I want the 3d object to cast shadows that look correct with the 2d background
Martin, It sounds like you worked things out with Jamie, looks like in:sync is doing a good job of setting new standards in NLE world. I'm not sure if I should be saying this on the Asoft Forum, but if there was an award given to a software company for…
Paul, Another way to bevel text is to use the Shaper with Create/Outline. Use the inside outline/polygon for the top of the bevel and the outside polygon for the body of the text. You would go into the lofter and bring your different shapes onto the path, this will create…
Martin, No problem, sounds like you'll have to work on Jamie a bit for that 2d-tracking…. maybe Speed Razor Mach IV or what ever the next release is. -Mike
Martin, I spoke to Jamie this morning and there was some good news. The new software will a thumbnail of TGA's that will enable you to do your edits in a timely fashion. Also they are working on 10 bit log or 12-14 bit per pixel file formats, this is…
Mark, >> I know several of the 3rd party guys have programs to do this, but surely they rely on acad commands, and i can't pay their prices right now.
Martin, Have things settled down at MetroLight? I read about your hard drive problems :(, you know Alan was down for a few days with a bad 4 gig drive, but I think it was a Micropolis, I hope the wind is not blowing in my direction. There is no…
