PMJI, but all this discussion of getting a M700 (M24) and then disassembling it to measure parts in order to build a 3D mesh is frightening. The disassembly and subsequent reassembly of firearms is best left to a competent, professional gunsmith. If done improperly, this act could render (no pun…

Animated Cloud text. map

Dude, Animated Clouds? Why didn't you say so the other day? CICADA will get right on it! BTW, will that be cirrus, cumullus or alto-stratus formations? Cheers, Frank

Happy New Year! It has been my priviledge to associate with this group this past year and I want to thank you all for your words of encouragement, advise and kind assistance. Here's to 1995; may it bring us all more happiness, wealth and continued good health. Cheers, Frank
Scott, I am interested in hearing the price for item #6, I could use another 3DS workstation. Thanks. Frank
Martin, I am not selective when it comes to viewing computer animation; I find that a certain amount of inspiration is coupled with the enjoyment of seeing something new as well as a sense of awe and deep appreciation of what the artist had to go through to produce the…
Martin, Good luck! Any chance we'll get to see a sample of your animinations on this forum? Frank
Greg, My pleasure and consider it a small installment toward repaying *you* for all of the assistance you've dispensed on this forum. Cheers, Frank

Greg, (Err.. I mean Mr. Pyros, sir) I'm not worthy… I'm not worthy… MediaStudio 1.0 will accomplish the tasks that your client has in mind. Specifically, the ALBUM module can collect up to 65,000 "slides" of images and each of these slides can be tagged with keywords to facilitate search…
Martin, I do a lot of still-image slide-show type of presentations and MediaStudio's Album module and ImageEditor module are the work horses. I am interested in developing (no pun intended) true video editing services so I would appreciate it if you keep me posted on your progress. Cheers, Frank
Martin, I am using MediaStudio, but unfortunately I can not compare the capabilities of the Video Editor module with the Razor or Premiere; sorry. I'd hop on the offer and try it out then contact the folks at U-Lead for a refund if you decide it isn't your cup of…
Mapping Windows
Message #113386
John, Thanks for the tip… When you referred to making two sides light gray and the other two sides black, just exactly which sides of the window are you meaning? I don't have the software you indicated, will Aldus PhotoStyler be a decent substitute? Thanks again and I'll upload an…
John, Thank you for the positive feedback. I had fun doing the sequence and it is nice to hear from someone who liked the results. By the way John, I'm kind of stumped on the subject of mapping textures to surfaces. Can you help me out? Specifically, I want to…
Mike, Thanks for the explanation, I have purchased software from Schrieber Instruments (Imagine Nursery) in the past. I will be careful of Mr. Nix and I wish you well on your attempt to secure your property. Cheers, Frank
Mike, Sounds pretty bad! Who's this Robert Nix person (persona) and what is he peddling? Does he use a front company? Please advise, Frank
Hello John, The plasma cannon animation was produced by linking various parts of the model with 4 different dummies created in the keyframer. Dummy #1 was the parent object for everything except the base mount and was located at the center of the cannon's turret. The second dummy was located…
Carl, I have been using ImagePals software from U-Lead, (310) 523-9393, which has an album feature that collects images and preps them for the printing. I use the default resolution from the newest FARGO driver; it's 203 dpi, I think… I am not at all familiar with the software you…
Thomas, Yes the FARGO will print text as well as graphics. However I would suggest that you limit this use to the 3-color ribbon. I printed some letterhead with a cool gradient using this technique from a MicroSoft Works package and the output was very nice, expensive ($0.50 per sheet)…
Fargo Dye-Sub
Message #110428
Thomas, I called FARGO and the tech-rep informed me that the new Primera Pro is a whole new machine with new drivers. Boy how I wish that the Primera could be upgraded with just some new drivers!!! I tried to get more details from FARGO however they were rather conservative;…
Peter, PMJI, but I called the folks at FARGO today and the sales rep said that the Primera Pro is a whole new machine with new drivers. He said that the ribbons and paper would be the same as the original Primera. Unfortunately, he could not be very specific regarding…
I have been using a FARGO Primera since early January and my clients are pleased with the images it produces. Contact the folks at U-Lead Systems (301) 523-9393 for a software package called ImagePals2. It's inexpensive and works quite well driving the Primera. Good luck and wait until you see…
