nuff said….. Now what can I do with my 2 free fonts except use them in PhotoShop 3.0.. (: .Jane And thanks!
Dave, Are you telling me to forget the "type on call" as it would not be compatible with 3DS? I do not use WP programs as home, nor at work if I can help it.. My only use for FONTS are ANI PRO and 3ds..so if they are not compatible…
Hi Dave, CD does not have a HOBBIT font…but I am sitting here with 'TYPE on CALL' CD from Adobe.. I have not installed the CD as Fonts take up room on the HD and a gig 1.6 gets full quickly. I have not even popped it into the CD…
Hi Dave, Well, I was looking for something else and saw these AniPro Bonus disks and found a font that I was looking for..HOBBIT.. and I wanted to use it. Wrong thinking on my part as I assumed that fonts for AniPro and 3ds could be used with both. Have…
#Ani Pro .fnt & 3DS
Message #196502
Hi Dave, Jane back with another problem. When I registered my Ani Pro I received the 2 disk Bonus Pack of fonts. They work in Ani Pro but each time I try to use them in 3DS I get all kinds of errors and am popped back to DOS with…
Hi Jeffrey, WHAT makes you think they can read!! Yes, we know they have a telephone or they would not have a modem and could not d/l anything. Did re-read the Ani section and no, that only helps if people know how to do things. A d/l is a zip…
Hi Dave, I solved the problem. There were really a .FLC and a tune.exe and a read.me file and a runme.me file. At first I thought all I needed was to make the .flc an exe file. But then I had to assume that the person d/l'g the file knows…
Hi Jeffrey, Well I feel very stupid as the solution was hitting me right in the face and I could not see it. The solution was PK204G and the ZIP2EXE. Now I had use this a lot when I was using AA but as things got upgraded and windows step…
Well Jeffrey!!!!, Tell me it is really you 🙂 Yes, I know that and that works fine if It was to be done on a computer that you are sitting in front of or had the stuff on a disk to pop into the computer. But this is to be…
Hi Dave, Need HELP! Is there a program that will convert .flc files to .exe files like the old FLI2EXE did. I need to make a .flc into something that does not involve a .zip file. It needs to be a .exe or at least a file that needs no…
Larry, Well sometimes I am smart, and sometimes,DUMB. And sometimes the old brain is busy with other things and is not working at all. The problem, which my brain decoded overnight, was that I did not have the directory in the 3DS.set at all but did have another gradient in…
#3ds V3 backgrounds
Message #194791
I need help! I have made 8 backgrounds in either AniPro or with other graphics programs. I have named them BG_1 through BG_8. When I want to use BG_2 for the background in the 3D editor, it does not pick that backgound but another background. I can view the BG_2…
Tim, Thanks, but I have searched the newest CIS CD and cannot find GIF CONSTRUCTION kit anywhere on the whole CD. I have tired all forums. But will look where you have told me to look ON-LINE. Hope my 5 hours to look different places kicks in SOON, as with…
David, Have PSP 3.11 and sometimes I can get it to AT LEAST color the background the 191,191,191. In fact the 1st time I tried it,it worked beautifully, except I do not know exactly how I did it as I was trying all kinds of things. ON some .gifs I…
Thanks Tim, I have programs that will do that, PhotoShop3.0, CIS's Spry Imageviewer, AniPro and even PSP will do. What I am trying to do is make it transparent no matter what the background color is. Any other hints……….Jane
No Matt, that cannot be the problem as I still have 570 megs free. BUT my mouse died in the middle of rendering..of course..loosing everything. I must learn to save before doing anything. I have had this problem when rendering materials, rendering blowups, rendering a region, and I cannot pin…
Thanks Alan. Will try that and let you know how it works…Jane
#Transparent Backgrounds
Message #188244
I have been trying to make .gifs rendered in 3DS ver 3 with transparent backgrounds for the WWW. Since the background on WWW is not 0,0,0 but I have been told it is 191,191,191.. I have not been having a lot of luck as 3DS's 191,191,191 does not seem to…
CHEAP STACK DUMP
Message #185739
Lately, I have been getting this error. (haven't seen this kind of error since the old TRS 80 days). I thought it was because I had in the 3ds.set a Font setting to C:\ani\resource\font (which everytime I try to use I am told that what ever I enter for text…
Craig, Have the catalog here and I do not see a Sanger 20'. Do see a speedboat basic mesh that you can probably add to. Also, just because it is not in the catalog does not mean it is not available. Viewpoint..801-229-3000…Fax 801-229-3300. The meshes are beautiful. Good luck…………..Jane
Thanks Larry, >>What happens if you do a surface/normal/object unify?>> Nothing different. Tried that first. But I Found the problem and as you say it was NORMALS. When I cannot get something to work as I think I should..then Jane starts to Play! After playing with most of the pull…
Hi David, Yes I did create it in the 2D shaper, but I also lofted it with the default path down to about nothing so they would have just a little depth to them. Did try simply bringing them into the 3d editor from the shaper but I did not…
#Parts 3ds gone
Message #175937
Have been doing some flowers. Petals are one object and the center of the flower another object. The center is a made material. After applying the material and mapping it, when rendering it.the petals either all disappear or parts of them disappear. The mapping does not touch the petals as…
Dave, yes that is what I want..Will go back and look at that again. Because the meshes always look so solid when you render them, you tend to forget they really are not. The boolean has worked so well with what I have attempted so far that it just seemed…
Mike, you could be right about that. Will check it out. Am trying different ways of doing this..Of course I can simply 2D shape an open U type and see how that works. Am just beginning to learn this program and so far at least know where everything is. Thanks
#more boolean wierdness
Message #169261
Have a problem understanding why this boolean will not work. Have a solid object, not a box, more like a simple water glass. Flat on the top and tapered towards the bottom. Duplicate the object and scale it a bit. Place it inside the 1st object and move it up…
Jill,Please maintain my registration in 3DS2 and 3 and Ani courses. Am learning a lot say thanks to all for me……………………………………………………..Jane

Reviewing Telecourses
Message #159215
Oh Well, I cannot seem to pop the correct address from my address into a forum message address..But will post this anyhow and maybe someone can tell me just how to do it using CIM NAV! So if this is all wrong, at least I tried. Now the real purpose…
Dave, No problem, Glad you are there to keep us poor learners (who are so busy doing the lessens that our old mind are not on other things..like posting correctly). Thanks to you great people who do this FOR US.I know posting in the correct place makes your task easier.…
Yes Dave I do know how but am now using WINCIM NAV and I guess I got confused by the Subject,etc. I checked them off line and they looked correct. Will practice with the help screen and hope to get it correct the next time. Thanks for sending them to…

#pigs
Message #158091
Hi Mark, Well my pig had such short legs that all he could do was fall in the mud. He was cute doing it. So I tried a Crane. The long legs make it easier to do ups and downs. Your Frog loved the HARD ROCK and cloudy sky and…
#Student Response 3DS3
Message #155047
Have completed lesson A. Not perfect..AniPro Part no problem but the 3DS needs more manual reading to get the exact placement of the decal. First attempt decal covered the whole object, second attempt well it was a little better..Third attempt..after posting this :)! Thanks. Jane
David "Duck in, duck out" 🙂 Thanks for all the information. Being new to the program replies like yours really help the beginner. Your replies and Gregs are on 'FILE' on my HD. Any other little tips and helps Appreciated 🙂 Jane
Thanks Greg, will try that. Took your advise after completing the lesson and did my favorite thing. PLAY WITH THE PROGRAM. I learn best that way. Play and then hit the docs. Not good for most but seems to work best for me. Will ZOOOOOOM! :)………….Jane
#Student Response 3DS2-A
Message #154510
Have completed the Glow and played around after completing the material in 3D32-A.. Some how I have lost one of my omni lights in Viewer, Left and Right. I know it is there somewhere. But where? I am a real novice on this program and enjoying the mind streaching (…
Hi Mark, Neat trick but you seem to have a lot of these. Thanks. It does make my flick grow :)………………………………………..Jane
Brian, Is this file what I think it is? Just the announcement of ver 1.3? If a person is a registered owner of any ver of AniPro..Do they not get letters and flyers informing them of a new version? I have 1.3 but am wondering if I will ever get…
Thanks Brian, Will try and report back. Strange that I have not had this problem before. It appears with AniPlay and AniConv too. Guess I should also check and see if Logitech has any new drivers..or Autodesk has any. I admit my mouse is old stuff but it has served…
AniPro & Log. Mouse
Message #132988
Have been using this Logitech Mouse with AniPro 1.3 since I purchased the program. Mouse Driver is dated 10/92 and is an update since my original driver. I have become an expert at hitting the EC31 to keep the mouse drive installed. I re-installed the program thinking that maybe it…
