gif of 16bit
Message #16950
Steven: I have had good luck rendering to Targa 24bit in 3ds and then using "aniconv" (the converter in ANIPro), switching "dither" on, and converting to either GIF or FLC…no banding! This may not help you in using your single frame equipment, but it is a good way to get…
#3ds/dealer support
Message #11011
John: I read your comment about your 3ds dealer…there are a lot of people out there who just sell the software, but don't use it, thus don't know it as well as they could. I don't know where you are located, but if you would like to ask any questions…
#opacity map/backgrounds
Message #8264
You're right!…I must have not gotten the "black" rgb changed to other than 000 because when I tried it again…voila! Thanks for your help! Tag Grossman 73417,2322
#opacity maps/backgrounds
Message #8240
Thanks for your interest in the problem of rendering an opacity map against a background…I changed the "black" part of the opacity map to RGB 001 and tried it again…still no luck! I think my best bet is to get version 1.1 (I have version 1.0)…but just in case you…
#Panarender
Message #8198
Brad…I just browsed through the "panarender" messages, and it reminded me of a problem with my own system relating to the "panarender" driver. After rendering to any resolution other than 320×200, the full screen is not returned…rather, 5 screens!…yes, 5 tiny screens lined up along the top of the display!…Fortunately,…
#opacity map/backgrounds
Message #8197
We have been creating materials…"tree" let's say, from the "animator clips" library, combining an opacity map (the tree, turned completely white and saved as a cell) and a texture map (the same tree, as shown in the original "animator clips" library). …so far, so good… but when we apply this…
#Targa+…resolution
Message #7923
I would like to configure my Targa+ to display a higher resolution than 512×486…at least 640×480, or 800×600….more important however, I would like to be able to do video capture (using Tips+) at the higher resolutions for use in 3d Studio. Can someone help with this? Thanks in advance! Tag…
#random pixels/animator
Message #7922
I am experiencing the dispersion of red pixels over my "animator pro" screen as I move the cursor…particularly when the operation calls for a "window" e.g. "move" or "cell…get". This has occured using 2 different display cards…"Video VGA" and "Willow GEO". I am using a DTK 486/25 w/Weitek co-processor, 8…
hp 500c driver
Message #7921
The "pizzaz plus" (newest version) now supports the HP 500c. I have the driver and printer up and working, and can report that I'm not overly impressed…the manipulation required to get "pzp" to produce an acceptable image is considerable…the prints come out soaking wet with ink, which causes the paper…
#catalog of files
Message #28326
Didn't we used to have a ".bro" file at the top of each library which we could download? I don't seem to see these anymore…any help here? Also, was looking for Phil Kreiker's "mend.lsp" (currently appearing in "Cadalyst", but couldn't locate. Thanks in advance for your help. Theodor Grossman 73417,2322
Thank you Craig…going to try the monotext idea right away! Tag Grossman
Brad and Steve: thanks for your replies…I figured the control characters out myself after a little further thought. The monotext suggestion is one which I will implement as soon as I logoff! Thanks. Tag Grossman
#textin.lsp
Message #21921
bra I downloaded "textin" for use in importing my ascii fi of attributes (created with the "sdf" format) autocad so that my finished room finish schede could be plotted along with the rest of my drawing. wheI did this however, certain control characters appeared (which I could eras…but the text…
