#Brandon/John fence!
Message #178959
Yes you where giving out some information not all true and flaming Anna I remember. I have been using beta lightwave under NT since January . Dealing with drivers and most important screen refresh updates something 3DS users will have to think about soon. why should westwood give out trade…
well all I was doing was trying to point out a lack NT drivers for diamond cards you have gone outside of the rendering sphere. Sorry this reply sound like one of history polical leaders* BTW yours was not a reply but a dig to wake me up. Have you…
#NT and video cards.
Message #178738
> I work with every 3D program I can or need to, and since my 3DS wish for ray tracing is considered not very important. I am working now with Lightwave. This could change after Sigraph but based on the closed minded options of some here, I am not to…
This is a good idea because Diamond is not very hot on building drivers , not sure what was the last update was for NT, so I would not buy Diamond . The ATI card is working very well with NT and Lightwave. I am running the Matrox Impression and…
AAS Wishes & Whines
Message #172870
It looks like some of the most important features of AS will not work for me, like loading small amounts of 512×480 TGA's 30 ea. [arhh] and importing 320×200 flics for cell painting [ big crash time] so, how about letting Animator Pro work under a Dos shell in windows…
strange, dull glass and chrome is a trade mark, do you want to stay with this look for the next two years? 3D studio user's do not have a choice. only one option. [ with core rendering] some artist like to mix paints to get that look. since raytracing is…
Make sure you are loading the Buslogic drivers from your config.sys at startup. 3DS will use a swap drive and Buslogic needs a driver for this. you can burn your drive without the driver! Brandon

Bill you can run the Wacom under NT, but you will have to get the NT drivers. let me know if you can not find it and I will send it to ya. As to using the mouse and pad combo I do not know. BTW I got the Art-z…
Well I would think that it would run under NT regardless of the mass. I do not want to jump to any negative conclusions and would like a a explanation regarding this. if it runs in 16 bit that ok as long as it runs. If not, why not. From…
Please tell us why Autodesk is not supporting NT with Animation Studio. Brandon
Have you tried the Ipaz's from disk 6/7 called "keyman and Tempo" could help. Brandon
I use the Artpad with no problems, I installed it as a mouse in dos with the Kurta dos drivers. Make sure your com port is addressed in the 3DS.set file. But I sure could ues a NT driver , did Kurta ship one with your pad?
Not sure why we use emm386 or the like. The only program that I use that needs it is Deluxe paint. Take it out and use only himem.sys. I run about 550k but so what? almost any new program should work fine. btw if you need higher for games and…
Good to here you are better. * don't forget to drink lots of herb tea* Brandon
You should use Animator Pro for this. Join all your flics in Ani pro and use the one palette option. This will make a master palette for you. also, you can build a master palette yourself and do a re-map with the fit option set to on. I hope this…
Brandon, Well my thinking is that with your background in animation you would like to see a ray-traceing option in 3DS. "I not sure that you don't " but if ya don't think is needed my glass statement stands. We could do a shoot-out, you with a stock r4 3DS…
I had to jump in, I have been looking for a Ray-trace option for 3DS for two years now. Brent , render a glass with ice cubes put some liquid in it in 3DS, now do the same with LW. If you where a Producer looking for photo realistic images/animation…
I too have had this problem more than once, even sent a example to Asoft but I guess it fell through the cracks as I got no reply. At the time my thinking was the same as yours and noted it to Asoft. Not that big of a problem as…
Any Idea on the price of the new NT version? Brandon
I took a look at the program looks very cool… Question, after painting my blob bear mesh, I noticed that the back of the bear was painted too, I set the U.V to none but no change. Brandon
"Book" refers to the alignment of the wood grain after it is cut. After resawing the hardwood log you flip the cut like a book page. This give's a nice pattern to the finished project. Brandon "one time master cabinet maker now full-time vetex pusher" Macdougall
It is not working for me… I get the top 60 pixels only. Brandon

Any Idea when the non-save demo will be on Asoft? also is their NT/ Lightwave version's in the works? Brandon Interplay productions
I have been told that 3DS has trouble when hitting the escape key, when generating a flic with a backdrop image. If the GRD file is loaded as a backdrop image, it could be adding to this by increasing the page time. not sure though just a guess. Brandon
Hi Wolfgang, You should have little trouble with this file. [lib #5 POOL.GIF] Please give it another try… also you could try just viewing the pic and then save it to file. I would like to thank everyone for the nice E-mail I have received from this image. At last…
Open GL fast prewview….
I have been spending a lot of time with LW lately and It's Images like the one's you are making that keeps me going.
Thanks for filling me in 🙂 Brandon
The Lightwave model will be a stand in for the motion-control model, for difficult to film shots , according to Amblin
Alex, I would like you to pick out any model from Viewpoint that cost 300.00 Make it, pay your self a wage and complete it for under 300.00 with the same detail . Unless you charge 4.75 hour I think your in for a let down. Model making is a…
Autodesk Confirms NT 3ds
Message #153120
Please you guys You must try it before cutting it off. I have been running NT for 2 months and DIG IT. It works just fine! much better than Windows. Just install it with a duel boot and you can have DOS, NT and WINDOWS Multitasking almost as good as…
I am testing the Gradient Designer and think it is a lot of fun to use, well thought out and should add to your bag of tricks for SFX. HSC has told me that they are in it for the long run. You should see upgrades to the code and…
Well I put them on the board when no one was looking so they are available for viewing now Brandon
Good to here about NT. I am using it now and do not miss DOS at all. I have uploaded two Images that I did with the Gradient Designer. Please look for "KPT IPAZ animated effect" gr-skel.jpg and "Robot with Kai's Gradient Designer" gr-robo.jpg LIB#5 This should get the ball…
Not sure about Targa Drivers, "GO TRUEVISION?" But you should install a duel boot sequence so you can boot up in Dos or NT. This way you can use your old config.sys for DOS The Microsoft Forum makes you feed lucky that Asost is here. Brandon
Alfonso, Good news! I had a lot of fun with your product. I would like to see a "shaded preview viewer" thank you, Brandon
Well I am using Wavefront/Explorer blob modeler lately and it is working well for what I need for organic objects. But I am jazzed about Martin's use of Skin to make recognizable heads! making unrecognizable head are hard enough. I am still reluctant to use skin because of lack of…
Well when I won CIS graphics of the month I had no idea the amount of down loads. We are up to 740 down loads so far, and the mag has only been out for a week or so. Autodesk just got some free promotion File name is POOL.GIF -Brandon
Tim could be having the new on Compuserve nerves. You know every letter seems to be a attack on my work ect. It takes a three weeks or more to get your skin thick. I have learned a lot over the years from Tim and know we will all will…
3DS / Windows/ Acad 13
Message #149719
I guest what I am asking will AAStudio work with NT. Will it run any faster installed under NT in its current state? Thanks, and have a good week out of the office. Brandon
Will the new " Animation Studio" address this problem? and is it a 32 bit NT software program like PhotoShop? Thanks Brandon
I am using this setup now to test some new software, running NT with duel boot option to dos. 3DS runs fine, but 3DS will not work under a NT/DOS shell 🙁 Brandon
So let me see here… The best 3DS model winner gets 500.00 of old IPaz's and you get 10.00 per entry plus all right's to ALL the models to resale or use in your animation's? I think something is burning. Brandon
WOW with this immediate cash and overnight a certified bank check I will finally make the big time. this big cash offer of yours will sure to make our industry grow. Gee… all I need to do is render 50 photo realistic scenes and I will have paid off my…
Winter CES 1995
Message #146573
Without selective ray tracing, voumemetric lighting and splines for modeling, I would have to sadly agree with you. I know, I am losing more and more game work because Alias and Wavefront. This has a lot to due with the final image quality. The blue box is cropping up every…
