Video Boards
Message #195680
I'm currently trying to put a new system together and have been considering two video boards from Diamond. The Stealth 64 Video 3240XL and the Viper Video 3400 XL. Are these 2 boards supported by the latest Vibrant drivers? Any problems with 3DS4 or AutoCad 12 (dos) or Windows 95…
Thanks for the quick service Scot. JC
#Schreiber IPAS's
Message #172332
Hi Scot, Last year I remember reading some forum messages from Schreiber that they were going to re-release or update to existing owners, IPAS routines without the computer lock. Is Schreiber still planning on doing this or has it been shelved? I currently use 3 of your Ipas routines and…
Hi Kyle, I have the same problem with aura. I talked with Dave at Digimation and he suggested that you render just the object you want to apply the effect to with alpha split on and then use the alpha image of your object in the mask slot. This works…
Aura-LenZFX
Message #153429
Aaron, I gave you the wrong name. It is Aura problem in the mesh/project file. Let me know what you think. JC
Hi Aaron, I uploaded the project file to the mesh/project library under the name adblock.zip. It's my first upload so I hope it goes ok. JC
Hi again Aaron, I tried both options but neither one panned out. If you want to try it, its the adblock in the tutorial and I'm trying to do the chisel. I'm in 800×600 res. It almost seems like the alpha in the mask & the alpha in the video…
Hi Aaron, I'll give the tips a try, and run out and buy the mag ! 🙂
#Aura-LenZFX
Message #152418
Hi Dave, I tried your suggestion about the alpha mask of the object used in the aura slot-normal mask to apply aura to an object that is in close procimity to another object. I use normal mask ,edge and render with alpha on, but I still get the jaggies around…

#Another Wish List
Message #146215
Hi Jonas, About a year ago , I had an opportunity to purchase a "competitive" upgrade of Topas 5.1 because I owned a copy of 3DS. I've found it has some tools that would work great in 3DS. I work about 95% in 3DS & 5% in Topas and 3DS…
Hi Stuart, I currently use a Trackman mouse w/R4 and it works fine. It might be your drivers need updating? Check with the sysop in Logitech's forum about this problem & see if they can help. See ya, JC
Just picked it up. Thanks for all your help. Have a great New Year!! JC

Hi Pat, Welcome to the world of 3d & TV! It can get pretty confusing out there and I'm no expert by any means, but I'll relate what I've found out since I started to put things to tape.(Only for acouple months-I'm pretty new too.) I'm using the Matrox Illumnator…
Hi David, I had the same problem with Soft VTR & a Sony 9850 3/4" deck. It turned out to be the deck. It had a tendacy to creep and Soft VTR couldn't line up for acouple frames then it would. I'd check out the deck first and see if…
If you are using the Vibrant drivers for your screens, go into the configuration menu of the Vibrant library and you should be able to pick a differant font from their selections for each screen. Hope this helps. JC

#Vapor IPAS
Message #120535
I'm using the updated version of VAPOR and when I try to render an animation, I get a "No Secondary Motion Data – Object May Not Render Correctly" message. What am I doing wrong? JC
Dale, try this. Align a user view in the 3D Editor so you are looking squarely at the window. Next go to the Shaper and turn on your 3D Display and choose your window. This should give you a close representation for your object. If its not the right size,…

#Rendering
Message #119144
I need some help concerning layering an animation over live video. My editingpeople tell me I need to render over negative black (-5,-5,-5) so that the animation will key over the video cleanly. As far as I can tell, my black background is 0,0,0 and on the scope its +5,+5,+5.…
