It's funny because, after spending more than $2500 over the past year, two nights ago I was looking back. Knowing what I know now, I asked myself… If I could only have purchased one IPAS over that time, which would I choose? The answer was Bones Pro.. hands down. The…
Drivers for new vidcard
Message #141187
I was running AniPro great using the standard Vesa.drv with my old VGA card. I can't get it to run in higher than 320X200 with my Diamond Speedstar. I try the SuperVGA driver and I get: Can't open screen with driver D:\ani\resource\supervga.drv Video BIOS could not setup requested graphics mode.…
Call Dan at North West Tech in Bellevue. He loves talking about 3DS and he'd love to sell you a copy. Also, FYI, there's a 3DS user group that (until 2 months ago) met at Bellevue Community College at 6:30 on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Mail me back…
Video Driver won't work

Matt, Just last night I purchased the Diamond SpeedStar Pro (VLB) for $120. Probably not as fast, but it is a lot cheaper and hopefully I can get it to run with 3DS. I saw the Steath64 at the store as well, but I don't have PCI. I changed the…
I'm working version 1.06 sent to me by Schreiber. I have re-installed twice but still get the same result. Running Puppeteer causes a horizonal band, grey in color, to run across the bottom of the screen. Then the top of the screen displays the following before kicking me out of…
Very well said, Jack. Very well said!
Puppeteer
Message #137968
This IPAS was running great until I upgraded to Release 4 of 3D Studio. All my other IPASs run fine, but attempting to load this one kicks me all the way out of 3D Studio, into the cold. Brrrrrrrrr! (or maybe I should say: Grrrrrrr!) I've written Schreiber twice, but…
Weird is a good word in this case. It's good to know that Schreiber is using it successfully with R4. That probably means there's hope for me! I think I'll stop whining long enough to re-install it and try again. I'll whine tomorrow when I have more time (and cheese).

Yes, I configured 3DS VIBCFG for a VESA compatible selection and tried running it with no drivers, with my old driver and then with the driver that came with the card, but was unable to run 3DS at all in either configuration. I took the card back today and have…
Please excuse my igorance of somthing that's probably very obvious to most others. The Media Vision Pro Graphics 1024 is a Vesa Local Bus card. Does this mean that it's Vesa compliant?
#Video Driver won't work
Message #136812
I just purchased Media Visions's Pro Graphics 1024 Local Bus card and have spent the last 24 hours determining the 500 or so configurations that do not work. I was wondering if anyone owning this card is successfully running 3D Studio. I have the what are supposably the latest drivers…
Thank you, Glen. This is going to be great! –Steve
Thank you very much! –Steve
Would you pass along the exact steps required for exporting Animation Master meshes as DXF? I actually have Playmation, so I'm assuming it's the same, but I haven't been able to figure this one out yet. Thanks. –Steve
Thank you. –Steve
Puppeteer
Message #127175
Sorry I have to jump in here with a gripe, but this reminded me of an annoying feature of puppeteer and I was wondering if there were plans to fix it. When you select to scale, the program has no "memory" of which axis you were last using. It always…
If this is okay with Glen, I would love to study how he achieved this look. Please do upload it. Thank you. Sincerely, –Steve
Glen, Bless you for responding, you may just have saved my sanity 🙂 I'm still unclear though how you lofted the head with the mouth insides pulled out. Does this mean he looked like he was throwing-up his insides before you pushed his mouth back in? Also, did you use…
#Cartoon Char. Skinning
Message #126780
I downloaded a animation file called SKIN KID some time ago. It has the words "by Glen" along the bottom. Anyone know who this might be? I've spent countless hours trying to replicate a talking cartoon head similar to skin kid and I just don't get it. When I try…
Thanks. I got the download and it solved a lot of the problems I was having.
#Puppeteer
Message #126576
I've just purchased the pre-leased version of puppeteer. After going over the text document included on the disk, I'm still confused. I've been able to create and manipulate nodes, links, and puppets. The trouble is tieing the puppet to my imported mesh objects. When I import objects prior to building…

Inside Autodesk Animator and Mastering Animator are both good.
