#Mpeg IPAS?
Message #186654
Daniel, I have'nt heard of the IPAS you are talking about, but have found the next best thing. If you render your images as uncompressed 300X200 targa frames, you can use a utility called CMPEG to convert them to Mpeg movies. I got CMPEG somewhere on compuserve (Do a FIND…
Sounds cool! Do you mean the Runabout used in DS9? I would also like to see a mesh of the Defiant. Thanks for the info, will check them out. Dean

Hi Murph', I am located in Dearborn, Michigan, which is a suburb of Detroit. The Autodesk logo is on the right side of the poster, about halfway down. Also, in the background, there is a lighted sign that is partly covered, and reads AUTOD , which I suspect is the…
I saw the movie this week and thought it was good. I noticed that the Autodesk logo made it into the poster in the theater (subliminal advertising?) All in all, I thought the 3DS effects were the best effects in the movie, but then again I've had an affliction with…
Tom, I have Win95 and I have no problems whatsoever running FLC's through the media player. AVI's, well…thats another story. Another solution may be to use the PLAYFLC utility that comes with VistaPro. It is a DOS player, but if you associate FLC files with PlayFLC.EXE in the file manager,…

#PAR and Field rendering
Message #172315
I am making a demo video tape, and will be using another company to take my TGA files and outlay them to tape. They will do this with a PAR, and record it to tape in real-time. Should I render my TGA's with field rendering on or off? I know…

#MPEG edit software?
Message #170080
Does anybody know of any software similar to Premiere that will allow the creation of MPEG files? I have created some using CMPEG, a DOS command for creating these animations from a series of TGA files, but I would like an editing program that I can do green screens, wipes,…

#Win95 and 3DS
Message #169478
Hello AutoDesk, I have just installed Windows95, and it seems to have no trouble at all running 3dStudio (R4). I am curious to know if 3dStudio will run quicker in standard DOS though. I just purchased 3dStudio, and do not have a frame of reference to go by, just that…
#Lumina?
Message #168623
I am picking up my copy of LensFX on monday, and am very excited to work with it based on the excellent quality of images I have seen. I cannot remember where I heard, but can this be used to generate simulated nebula's, clouds, etc?. I did not see that…
I have created a beautiful sunburst coming out from behind a moon. (Inspired by the Voyager opening sequence) I also had the same problem, and the solution that worked best was to hide the object until about 10 frames before it emerged from the moon, and to scale it down…
#Price on 3dStudio.
Message #122570
Hello Autodesk. I have been using several cheap 3d modelling and rendering products and have had fair results. I am interested in getting into Computer graphic images as a side business, and will need a more sophisticated product to do so. I am very impressed with the images I have…
