Greg: >> What are you doing for tape output once you have the frames rendered? The client would have an option for either 2gig DAT, 1.8gig Optical disk, or for video tape, I can rent pro equiptment for a local video house; and using my (soon to be had) DPS…
I will have to see what features the new 3ds "r5" has and if it will be worth it. If it is, will you still be able to use the slave feature with 100+ pc's with one copy of 3ds? I already have 8 pc's running NT (64 meg); I…
Yes, I can add an additional 16 meg. (32 total). I'll have to see how much this is going to raise the total cost of the project! If its not too much I should have no problem adding it in. Bob-
Hi Greg, well its going to vary from about 10 with 64 meg (back office) to the rest of them at 16 meg. I figure that with the average render time of 15 min. per frame, I could finish 4,400+ frames per day (about 2.5 min worth of video). I…
I could send it in lotus format, or any other format you would like. Just let me know and I'll send it today. Thanx Anne Bob-
I think your right on some of your comments, while I have been a network administrator for over six years at a 1.2 billion company and working with 3ds for a little over one year, I sometimes still think of myself as that "computer illiterate on the street"… not too…
Hi Matt, sorry AT&T GIS beat you to it. Contract is already signed! Bob-
Well, I figure it will be another 30-45 days before I have the hardware in place. Once this is done, I would be ready to begin. I figure I can output about 2.5 minutes of rendering per day (15 minutes per week). This is on the safe side; as I…
#upload changed.
Message #179484
I have uploaded a correction to a file I sent today, called render.xls. Could you use the file send later in the day. The good file is the one that describes 2.5 minutes of video per day, not the other one. Thanx bob-
#Render / Video Farm
Message #178919
Is there a high demand for sending rendering jobs to outside company's? The reason I'm asking this is for the simple reason that my company is about to purchase 130+ P100's all attached to a Netware 100BASET network; and durring the night I figure I could have them rendering rather…
Welp, I purchased LenZFX and its great! I hate the dongle protection!!! Can't they do away with the dongle and just work with your serial # from 3ds? I guess your not the person I should be telling this to, but hey… (smile) Bob-
Thanx, Lee… I'll check it out. Bob-
#Lens Flare.
Message #158158
Does anyone have a simple solution for adding lens flare to an image? Bob-
I went into the video setup and had the following: VESA, Trident 8800cs/8900x, 800x600x256 I then tryed the Vib. drivers for the same config as above, and the problem went away. Thanx for the fast response! Bob-
#Camera/Prevu bug
Message #136645
I think I have run into a very minor glitch (bug) in 3ds ver 4. When I go into the program Camera/Prevu (F7) and then move the mouse pointer into the camera window and then back out, an extra pointer is displayed. I tryed this a few times and it…
Steve, to record to a standard VCR, wouldn't you require large amounts of memory so you can dump it as a live action shot. Is there some way around this?
Octree's Caligari 3D
Message #4028
Caligari is here, but who is going to shell out $1995.00 for another 3D product? Even if you are a professional, you have products like Video-Scape 3d for around $130. So who is going to buy this stuff?
