#4026 #Ray Traced Pictures Message #4079

I'm a Digi-VIew owner, who is looking for a purchase in the LIVE! department. I like LIVE! due to it's "live" look, and how other software houses are starting to develop software that interacts with LIVE! (Such as Fantavision, Invision, etc ). LIVE! is also price effective, costing less than…

Thanks for the information. Since I already own Sculpt-3D, I will probably wait till I see Silver 3.0 on the shelves before I buy.. though I WILL buy Silver. From playing with it at the stores, I find it more powerful than S3D, a few extra features, and most importantly…

Your VD1 digitizer, is it commercially available? If so, can you please give me more info. I'm wondering if you can achieve Digi-View quality with the digitizer. As for LIVE! compared w/ Digi-View I find that Digi-View has the quality, whereas LIVE! has the speed. Where does your VD1 come…

I've been playing with Turbo Silver at my local neighborhood computer dealer to evaluate it before I dish out the money to purchase it. Through my hours of playing, and rendering, I have to admit the time required to render an object is considerably faster than Sculpt-3D. With Sculpt-3D, rendering…

This Targa system you mention, can you give me more information concerning this? I've heard Targa around the system, but don't know about it. I'd appreciate knowing what system it runs on (IBM I assume), costs, etc..

I've stopped at my local computer dealer to check out Turbo Silver, and I have to admit – after playing with it for about an hour and a half I was impressed. Though, there is one question I have, which neither me or the dealer could figure out – is…

Jim, Wishful thinking, yeah. Perhaps, with these new Digital decks – they should enc rporate such an output connection. Actually, I would imaging it would be fairly simple to hook up such an output to a Digital deck – mainly due to the fact that it uses RAM to store…

From: Joe Kuzma AmigaArts Forum · Videophile September 5, 1988 4:47 PM
I've been reading that in order to do any sort of high-end rendering, I should have more memory, and perhaps a fixed storage device. Since I'm fairly new in the Amiga world, I'm fairly unfamiliar with the particular brands of hardware available for my Amiga. If possible, could you perhaps…

I am also a SC3D owner, who just recently is spending alot of CPU time rendering objects. I am interested in Turbo Silver due to the fact that I hear it takes less time rendering, and produces a higher quality output – is this so? What other advantages are to…

From: Joe Kuzma AmigaTech Forum · Video Hardware September 4, 1988 4:19 PM
I also have the Panasonic WV-1410 CCTV camera and have had a good time with it. Though, check out the latest INFO magazine, Oran Sands gives a good article on digitizers, espeically the DigiView. He mentions that the CCTV cameras that are used usually come with poor quality lens, which…
