I think Win95 do not swap to disk with the Pharlap manager. As long you have enough RAM for your file it's OK but if you have to swap to disk 3DS will stop the rendering. I have not heard of any specific setting to overcome that fact like in…
Thanks, now I'm IN !
PMJI what is S.A.S.E ? For sure, I am willing to send you my SASE for a demo reel. But I will feel more IN if I know what is it ? Pierre Montreal
May be until the end of time ! Hi ! Hi !
Thank's it's done.
Made a dual boot to your previous Dos version and it should work. They explain in the help file of Win95 how to made a dual boot to Win3.1. Pierre
Hi, I'm interested too in the B & W printout of the Animator Studio help. Did you need more information from me. I just send me registration form last week by the mail ? Pierre Menard Montreal

Hi Jim, I configure my machine yesterday for a dual boot in Win 3.1 or Win95. So I will be able to use Animator Studio when I will receive it. By the way I will also be able to use Kai Power Tools with Photoshop in the Win 3.1 environnement,…
Thanks for your fast reply, After reading your message in Ani Forum I try to make fli files with program that I already have. In fact I try to convert an .avi files to an .flc file. For that I use Razor (non-pro version) and I got a General Protection…
Oh ! Oh ! I just ordered mine tonite and I use Win95 Preview ! So you can't save fli under Win95. I hope it will be easily fix by Adesk people. It doesn't sound a very complex problem. I'll continue to check on that, have a good day, Pierre…
PMJI I also use Win95 and I try to use 3DS r4c1 in Win 95. Everything work fine as long as I stay inside my RAM. If during a rendering I need more than my 16 meg RAM 3DS report No RAM for bitmap or out of memory. The only…

You probably make very imaginative flc, Yankee !

And you are you a loyalist to shoot at French ? Have a quiet day, Pierre
Hi, During the Renaissance, the perfect frame must had a dimension of 4 unity long and 3 height. In a 640 x 480 you got that ratio (160×4)(160×3). So we say that the aspect ratio is perfect or have a value of one. In a 320×200 the aspect ratio is…

Does the 3DS4c1 have been shipped to Canada ? I'm waiting for my educationnal upgrade since the first days of december. Pierre Montreal
Hi, I use an Bernouilli 150 transportable since last June. I found it very handy. I have no problem with it. It work well and I have no special problem with the configuration. It is not as fast as an hard disk but I can run program from it at…
PMJI. My guess is in about 2 years. Once Win 95 is stabilised and NT more widely used. I heard they do their programming on NT machines. Pierre
I dunno !

Hi ! Just for your curiosity, I got a (slow) ISA motherboard; here is my results : Chevy57 640×480=6:26 ?!? 320×200=2:29 Birdshow 640×480=2:16 Chopper 640×480=0:57 OldCity3 640×480=1:37 ?!? 320×200=0:29 I plan to make the extra effort to go to the Pentium. So I wont have to compare for a year…
Did you check at the rendering plants BBS ? They got a good choice of aircraft. I even found a spitfire over there ! The rendering plant 1 816 525 5613
May be that's the answer ! I'm waiting for my educationnal upgrade to release 4.0.since mid-december 94 and I haven't received it yet. May be they are waiting r4c1 to ship the package over the border in Canada. My reseller doesn't seem to know the exact reason and my message…

Thank you for your reply. It doesn't look that bad at least 9148 left… Some rumors says that 3DSR5 will move to Win NT… Season's greeting Pierre Montreal
Just for knowing. How much memory in current status in 3DS when you run it inside Windows 95 ? Win 3.1 take a big chunk. Does Win95 do a better job and leave space for RAM rendering ? That is my big question about moving to Win95 as new OS.…
Salut Bob, Desole, je ne peux pas t'aider ! A mardi, le 13 ! Pierre
The 3DArtist's article is very rich in tips for making flickering torch ligths. I have no time to make a resume, but here is some tips that I found interesting : Make a 60 frames flc of flame made of yellow an red flame. Simple drawing. Use a flat rectangular…
Hi, There is an article in 3DArtist #17 on that subject these day. Check it it's full of tips. Have a good week end Pierre Menard Montreal

Hi, I fax a message to Planet Studio last week and they write me to confirm that the next issue will be mailed during the 21 nov. week. The next one is due for mid-january… I guess they are still in the business, if they can invest in a stamp…

Hi ! I use also STL 24 from Diamond and I have some problem with the recent upgrade of Vibrant. When I try to render all I got is a stalled black screen. If I use the Vesa basic configuration instead of the Vibrant driver for STL 24 sometimes the…
3DS3 is like a mountain the more you climb the better the panorama… Pierre Montreal
Hi ! I think it's fair too for customer to ask theses kinds of question. You know computer change very fast these day and it's normal to develop a certain level of anxiety about future issues… All this is fair ! But it would be unfair if Adesk made big…

#Backup and storage
Message #123424
Hi ! I solve my storage problem with a Bernouilli 150 transportable. It's a kind of big floppy drive of 150 Meg. I can put flc on it and play it directly from the cartrige. The best arrangement is with a SCSI port. It's a little bit expensive about 1,000$…

Nice try Chris ! We will have to find another trick to make them talk about this strategic issues. They probably don't know that their customer can be their best allied ! May be they don't know for sure, but if we have to run 3DS under Win4.0 will it…
