Jeffrey, to create glows around the light bulb without using IPAS, create a circle or sphere with a self illum material, very very transparent. If you are creating a still or animation with little movement, you may want to use a circle (directed towards camera) with an opacity map where…

Hi Barbara, How can I subscribe to Planet Studio? Could you send me an answer via mail? Thanks Eni
Would you know about any 3d user groups in LA area? I've just landed some months ago in LA, and havent found any groups around here. The last one I went to, 3dsforum, had maybe, humm, 200 guys and 4 or 5 women, including me. Eni
Hi Michael, How can one acquire Rayman and how much will it cost? Also, I've downloaded the images you put in this forum but they didn't show much the results of Rayman. Maybe you can upload images showing samples, not only the interface. Thanks, Eni
Ara, I totally agree with you, specialization is the way to get better. I think we should do whats best. But I think the 3D industry is too young to have specialized people. I'm looking forward to the day when I can play all day long with textures and shadows.…
Ara, I read this gigantic saga and since the begining I agree with you. I think people should specialize in doing what they can do best, and I guess the only reason why that is not happening is because the "Art" (I consider it a form of art) is so…
#Yost Package #1 ?
Message #118320
Hi, I'm interested in acquiring the Yost Package #1 with all the lighting effects. Does anybody have an idea of price and how to get it? Thanks, Eni Oken
Richard, Any time you need me, just try to use e-mail instead of forum messages, cause I don't check the forum everyday. 😉 Eni
Thanks for the address on 3D Artist! 😉 Eni
Thanks for the address! 🙂 Eni
Richard, It depends on the type of model you have. If you want complex walls, with the interior and all, use the floor plan in AutoCAD and extrude the lines to create the appropriate walls. The doors and windows have to be done the same way, with elev and thickness.…
Paolo, Try to create a cubic reflection before, so you don't have to wait for 3ds to create automatic reflections. Eni
Hans, Reflections are really great, but there's a lot of work to do: you have to create a material in the Material's Editor that has automatic reflection and then apply it to the object. That seems to be simple, but the trick is to apply it to selected FACES rather…
#3D Artist Magazine
Message #117021
Hi! Does anybody know the address and/or number for 3D Artist Magazine and Planet Studio? I'm finding it hard to locate. Thanks a lot! Eni
Hi Jeff, I would love to get a copy, and I'll give you feedback for sure. Thanks, Eni Oken 11660 Sunset Blvd. #1 Los Angeles, CA 90049
Thanks, Brian!

Dear Ed, You wrote: "You can use the windows player that comes with AniPro. You can also download it. It is called WINPLA.ZIP." I wasn't able to find this file, where can I find it? Thanks a lot, Eni
I can tell that you're really into it. People in this business can't help it, it's true love. Got luck in New York, with your drive your sure to be successful.
Nick, I use clip people in my renderings too and they work just fine, even if you can't match exactly the perspective. I have only a few people that are also very expressionless. If you ever find clip people to sell or acquire, please let me know. I'd be interested…
3D From Brazil
Message #112681
I just landed in LA from Brazil a few months ago (yes, the soccer-game-land does have computer graphikers) and I need some advice! In Brazil I use to create 3D renderings using AutoCAD and 3D Studio, working on a per job basis. I'm an architect and was working since 1987…
Hi Jeffrey! Don't be so mad, poor guy, I understand your problem. I was thinking: don't you want to sell these cars that you're modeling? I need some neat cars for external architectural renderings, and they are very expensive. If they are ready to go to 3D Studio, better. :-]…
Hi Don! I've read all the messages sent to you before. I think that what this last person said, Bruce M., is very reasonable: if you build a library of elements that are most frequently used, you'll save a lot of time in future projects. The problem is that not…
3D CARS! Where to find?
Message #109500
Hi! I would like to introduce myself: I model and render architectural scenes using AutoCAD and 3DS R.3. I need some nice cars for my exterior scenes, is there any option (low priced, of course) other than Viewpoint, Accuris and Syndesis? Thanks, Eni Oken (first name pronounced like in "any")
Dan, Is this Mirage engine running on PC? Were is it available, and is it slow like other ray-tracing software? Eni Oken
