>> and framestores for low res previews >> FS always appear full screen Cool. I did not know this. Glad I was lurking. Thanks. Oh man, is this going to come in handy. Stephen

Please send me the info on both machines, fax (803) 879-4223 to the attention of Kelly Poole. TIA

>> You could probably use the new import feature, combined with their YUV >> exporter to resample captured sequences at slower frame rates….. Interesting… and then I wouldn't have to kick down the Q factor to make the slo-mo work, so my image quality would improve. This definitely bears investigation.…

>> to use a new feature of the importer I'll have to look into that. My technique developed out of a need to slow down real time video. PAR is a wonder tool! Stephen

I've run into this same problem (I'm using the low end Seagate drive, what are you using?), and while I don't have any definite answers as to why it happens, it seems counterintuitive, I can tell you how I handle it. Using the map function, I check to see what…

>> I thought that was only if you stayed on the same platform? My recollection of the conversation was you could upgrade to either platform, but I could be mistaken. Give 'em a call, they're very friendly. 🙂

>> How much memory does Lightwave need standalone? I just got pricing info on the phone (and I might not be right on the upgrade info), but I did ask them to send me their latest sales literature. When I get it I'll let you know.

Here's how I do it in 3.1 Create a key page in CG, and render it to disk for speed (opt.). Go to the switcher. Punch up the source you want to key over on the top bus (or both busses if you want). Load the CG page, then tap…

>> People aren't running a Toaster or cool audio digitizing software in >> 512K. They're running eight to sixteen megs. And they're drumming their fingers on the table top waiting for the CG page to render. Stephen

(I'm posting this for a friend at work who's learning Lightwave. I've already posted this once on the NEW TEK section of Amiga Vendor forum, and got the reply included in this note. Any further insight would be appreciated.) ****************************************************************************** [ORIGINAL MESSAGE] Sometimes when using the Boolean Drill operation, polygons…

Sometimes when using the Boolean Drill operation, polygons behave strangely. Sometimes they flip for no reason, sometimes they disappear completely. For example, While modeling an alien I used the Boolean Union drill to attach his nose. After my amiga crunched its numbers, the nose was attached, but to nothing. All…
