#Initial Budget Spend on?
Message #155510
Lets say I have $5000 to get into 3D Studio with. I have a P90 with 32 megs RAM, 3 Gigs HD, and a Stealth 64 VRAM PCI card. I will be creating SF-oriented animations (initially) for our magazine. I already have Vistapro and Visual Reality to create most simple…

#Help me understand…
Message #154703
Well, have done some looking around, and even got the brochures from my local reseller on 3DS, and you know what? I'm still confused. So, lets try it like this: I currently am familiar with Caligari's trueSpace (demo), and a registered owner/operator of Visual Software's Visual Reality product. I understand…
#Fascinating problem…
Message #4353
Based on a suggestion you made to another user, I downloaded the 1.30Z drivers for my Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM board. When I run the demo CD now, I see the animation (hurrah). Unfortunately, it also blows my sound out of the water, so I don't hear the narration, or…
#AAPlayer bug
Message #4332
Having had a chance to play with VR last night (finally received and installed it), I noticed that any time I try to use the Animation player (or try to run the CD Demo for that matter) on the new machine, I have to do a Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up…
#Educate me please…
Message #153116
Am starting work on some projects to do some 3D animations, and several folks have mentioned in passing that I should check out 3D Studio. Is there a quick overview of features and price on here somewhere? And would it run on a Pentium 90 with 32 Megs of RAM,…

Taking the Plunge
Message #4139
Just to let y'all know, I've ordered the Visual Reality package, and can hardly wait for it to get here on Tuesday. I've really enjoyed the support here, and look forward to producing some quality work. Now, does anyone have a back porch scene (with a two-person swing) I can…
What's available
Message #4042
I am familiar with the Elastic Reality Products, and Visual Software's offerings, but am wondering what the other vendors in this forum offer for us Windows users (if anything)? I ask since I'm in the acquisition of software phase of my project, and want to make sure I don't miss…
#800×600 requirement
Message #3888
Am purchasing a new notebook computer with a 100MhZ DX4 (486), 24 MB of RAM, CD-ROM, and 720 MB (replacable) HD. This will be my development environment. Manufacturer claims the unit will do 800×600 on the internal screen, but on the chance it doesn't, what would be the effect of…

CD Demo
Message #3816
Received the CD Demo and brochures for the Visual Reality suite, which has helped me narrow down my search to your product and Caligari's trueSpace. However, I've had the following problems with the demo which make me curious… 1) Initially the installation created an icon with properties to load the…
