It's on the registration card. I faxed my registration so I still have the card.
You might wanna call 'em. That's what I had to do. I wasn't on the list automatically. Of course, I still haven't gotten the 1.1 upgrade. 1-800-538-6401
I guess I had no idea of the complexity going in. So what else is new?
>>wow! nice bit of lab work here, Behymer! Thanks. I'd like to say "it was nothing" but it was a lot of time spent. At least I'm finally using Animator! But what I want to be able to do is produce AVI files that can be distributed to others. I'd…
#AVI Codecs testing
Message #194203
Well – I was able to take a few hours and go through all the possible CODECs for saving my 300 frame 320×240 JPG series to an AVI file with Animator Studio. I never found a satisfactory result but hopefully someone can use this data (or maybe even explain it…
>>free. I am useing a 16 meg swap file in Windows 3.1, and I use Dos 6.22. I Your Swap file is way too small. I'd go at least 50 MB. I run 100.
You know I had that problem when I installed the 1.1 version on my P133. I reinstalled after deleting the entire directory structure and it worked. Worth a try….
Have you seen the old SinTab posted anywhere. Smack me – all I have is the latest.
Yeah, I spent some time with the harcopy and on-line references and didn't get much help. Here's what I don't understand: Renderize makes about a 7 MB AVI containing 300 320×240 frames. I did the same thing to a series of JPG files. I read the JPG series into AS…
I'm using a Matrox Mellinium. I don't know if you saw my other thread. I've been having good success working with frames of JPG rather than an AVI file. I only have about an hour to play with it each day (until the Win95 version hits and I can run…
#Finally – Success!!!
Message #192903
Well I finally had a successful session with AS. I just couldn't do anything with the AVI files that I had produced with Visual Reality and Renderize so I decided to try creating a series of JPG files instead of an AVI. I read the JPGs into AS and spliced…

AS Error
Message #192408
Well I tried your suggestion and I ran into another wall…. 1. Open existing AVI. 2. Start new AVI w/ same frame count 3. Select first AVI and switch to TimeMode 4. "Select All of the Segment" from EDIT menu. Wham! Error Dialog. "An error has occurred….." [Close] [Ignore] GPF…
#AS Error
Message #192119
I've run across another problem in AS that I hope you can help me work out. I've got an .AVI file that I created with another package (Renderize) and I wanted to overlay a logo image onto the first frame of the animation. (I was later going to replicate the…

>if he comes in exactly where he was originally, this makes sense as the >source is still pointing to the file's original image and origin. Well, then, I AM confused. If clone ink means that it'll take the selected image and and paste it over the selected area then no…
#Animator Studio tutorial
Message #191680
Well, Dave, you'll be happy to know that I've completed the rest of the AniStu tuts with nary a serious problem. The clone ink worked in the "SNOW" tutorial. So, of course, I'm still stumped. The only thing that didn't work as described in the manual was the thumbnail image…
Well THIS is interesting
Message #191614
So I'm trying to complete the tutorial without being able to make the diver dissapear so I use a normal color ink and the spray gun to cover him over. It looks like crap but I'll go with it for now. I get the idea that I'll try the clone…
>i do indeed. 🙂 if you haven't received a response by tomorrow from Nik, >let me know. I will certainly let you know. In the mean time I'm going to try to bypass the clone ink problem and get on with the program. Wish me luck!

#AniStudio Problems
Message #191035
Well – I just installed the c1 version and it didn't fix either of the problems I'm having. The tablet is still screwed up and the diver still doesn't dissapear. I don't know what else I can do but send it back. Any suggestions?
AniPro Tutorial
Message #190991
This is so frustrating! I followed your instructions to the letter and it didn't help. Aaargh! When I dbl-click the forth point with the polygon tool the diver just DOES NOT go away! He just stays there – laughing at me! I haven't rec'v'd the c1 upgrade yet so I…
>Try running without the tablet. use the mouse and see if anything >changes. Been there tried that no change. Thanks anyway.
Thanks. I'll grab it right now.
#AniStudio clone ink prob
Message #190635
I realize you probably haven't had a chance to work on my problem completing the clone ink portion of the tutorial but I may have some more info that'll help. It's not a tablet problem. I switched to the mouse and it still doesn't work. I tried it w/ other…
That sounds like a good plan. Just send them up whenever…. Thanks
Hmmm…. I'll give that a try.
Our setups aren't really that similar. I'm running a Gateway P5-133XL w/ 40 MB RAM and a Matrox Mellinium graphics card and a SummaSketch III tablet. I'll certainly let you know if I come across any solutions….
>WOH NELLY! Animator Pro doesn't have CLONE ink, and the diver >tutorial is from Animator Studio, not Animator Pro. two entirely >different products… are you talking about the summasketch III having >problems in AniPro or Astudio? if so… whole different ballgame! I'm an idiot. Yes – as you suspected -…
#Animator Pro Problems
Message #189680
I've just started using Animator Pro and have had a couple of problems. One nagging and one fatal – altho' they might be related. I use a SummaSketch III dig tablet as a Windows pointing device. It works great for all Windows apps except AniPro. AniPro makes the entire tablet…

Win95
Message #186502
I'm sure you're real tired of this question…. Does/will Animator Studio run under Win95? I've got a PO in to get it and will be learning the software on my home PC which is running Win95 Beta (until the 24th – national holiday?). Thanks for the info.
Thanks.
Hmmmm… I looked for a file before I left the message. I didn't see it. I'll look again. Thanks.
3DS and Windows
Message #126076
I'm trying to run 3DS3.0 under Windows 3.11. I assume it's possible because it comes with a PIF file. However I'm getting the following error and 3DS won't run: Phar Lap err 74: Can't use -REALBREAK under this version of DPMI. Any ideas?
Great! Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call right away.
#3D Studio Books
Message #121754
Are there any 3rd-party books on 3D Studio Available? I haven't seen any mentioned in Cadence or Cadalyst. Thanks.
Well, we got it Brad. Third time's a charm, I guess. I also had an error in the (command "ATTEDIT" line. I sure appreciate your help. Until next time………… .. ————- ROGER ———– ..
Thanks again, Brad. I'll give these new suggestions a try and let you know how it goes. .. ———- ROGER ———-
