For the record books
Message #146951
Well I dont know if the song "Highway 61 revisited" is fake or not, but the CD "BOB Dylan High61 Interactive" is all about Bob Dylan and the people and things that inspired him. The CD hopefully will start shipping in Feburary.
#For the record books
Message #146778
here is something hopefully for the 3D-Studio record books. We are currently working on the "Bob Dylan Highway 61 Interactive" CD-ROM. We have recreated in 3d-studio 4 enviroments for the CD. They are all very realistic and are very in-dpeth. But 2 of the environments were pretty massive and I…
#Some R5 wishes
Message #144368
Here are some things I would like to see put or fixed in R5. Some of these have probably been asked for already but here it goes. 1. more than 255 materials in a project. 2. Raytracing (like rayman but able to handle animation, ipas, and selective raytracing). 3. when…
Thanks for your response. I will sleep better at night now. -Gregg Daly
#Pentium problem?????
Message #141691
With the new calculation problem information about the pentium chip from intel how does it affect 3d studio. This is pretty important because my work has about 15 p-90 running 3ds. Any feed back would be appreciated -thanks Gregg Daly
Doug, Im running os/2 warp and I love it. Ill never go back to windows and dos. But I cant get my slave copy of 3ds to render in the background. I have a 486 dx50 with 20 meg ram 1 gig hard drive and a ati mach32 vlb display…
Hi Helen, my name is Gregg Daly. I work for a company called Graphix Zone in Irvine Ca. We create CD-ROM based computer games. I have had some 3D training in college at Rancho Santiago College in Santa Ana Ca. I have also had some training in 3D-Studio from Martin…
Yes, I forgot about that. I normally use norton commander. Thanks
When ever you copy a files from a CD it will appera read only on your hard drive.. This is because a CD is a read only media. You can you programs sucj as Norton Commander to change the files from read only to read/write or any other files attribute…
Thanks, I look forward to seeing your results. Im running a ATI MACH32, and I have to run my background or slave copy in vga mode to have it switch properly from foreground to background. -Gregg Daly
Im using os/2 3.0 (WARP), Im not to sure if the same proceedure applies to os/2 2.x, but this is what I did. If you right click on the application icon a menu comes up. Click on settings. Next click on sessions then click on dos settings. Then click ok.…
Larry, The problem with the error "Cant allocate image buffer" and "Init device Failed" is the you need to allocate extended memory to 3ds. Do you have 3ds working in the background and foreground? Im having trouble getting my background to render. When ever I swotch from foreground to background…
yes I did get it running, but no I wasnt using a targa card. I didnt have any extended memory allocated to 3d-studio. So I acclocated all that I could and it worked fine.
Im not shure how dual processor machines work but I dont think you need to get seprate ram for each processor. but with os/2 warp I think you can run a seperate copy of 3ds on each processor. I dont think you assign the processor the os does it on…
I just got qemm 7.5 and it work. Thanks for the help
This did work Thank you very much.
Wow, what do you know. Is it possible that you work for the same company I do?. SeeYa!
#3ds and 128 meg of ram?
Message #136573
Im having trouble have my pc reconize over 64 meg. of ram in my system. The cmos counts all 128 but dos doesnt reconize over 64. Has anyone ever had this problem, and is there a fix. -Gregg Daly
Im only running one slave in the background on a single processor machine. Yes it does slow down the machine a little, but while you are rending one project you can continue working on another.
I have just started getting and error when I run studio in warp that says "CANT ALLOCATE IMAGE BUFFER" then another error after that that says "DEVICE INIT FAILED". I dont know what caused this error, Im running a 486 dx-50 and a Diamond Viper Pro video that has the…
Are you running warp also. When I find out the correct setting Ill let you know.
#os/2 warp and 3d studio
Message #135511
Im having trouble running a slave copy of 3ds ver.4 in the background on os/2. I know it can be done according to the os/2 text file that is in this forum. What should my settings in os/2 be and do i have to launch the slave copy first then…
3d studio in os/2
Message #134917
does anyone know the settings in os/2 to run 3d-studio in the foreground, and a copy in the background. When the copy running in the background is in slave mode it wont pick up any of the render jobs that I put in the que from my foregound copy. I…
Well, for one you can run multiple copies of Studio at once (slave render in the background and work on another copy in the forground). Plus many other feature like 32 bit capability, dual processor support, multi-tasing, runs windows and dos programs and many more. However, I am still configuring…
yes, thankyou it worked. BTW, I just installed os/2 warp and it runs great. -Gregg Daly
Thanks, Im going to install warp tonight. Wish me luck -Gregg Daly
#3DS ver 4 and OS/2
Message #134253
Can 3ds ver.4 run with OS/2 2.1. If so what are some of the ways i need to setup os/2 or 3ds so that 3ds will run at is optimal performance. Im considering switching over to os/2 instead of windoze. Also can 3ds run with WARP (OS/2)

#Vibrant driver problem
Message #132905
I just recived ver. 4 upgrade, installed it, ran 3ds vibcfg, and my card was not listed. The card I have is the Orchid Kelvin 64, it was avalible in ver. 3 vibrant updates but not in ver.4. I would like to use my board under its fully capacity instead…
yes, I know nobody has claimed otherwise, but the original message was asking is the render speed has been improved.
Sorry about the logon name but this is a Graphix Zone account. Anway, yes I agree that the hide/unhide, array, moving selected objects, and other things are much faster the v.3 but the render speed is about the same. -Gregg Daly
I rendered the 57 chevy from ver.3 and ver.4 and there were no speed differences. So I dont think they have changed the speed of the render.
#No Patch in ver. 4?
Message #130625

3Ds for slae?
Message #130205
does anyone have a copy of ver.3 with hardware lock for sale? I am interested in purchasing it. Thanks Gregg Daly
Another wish… Raytrace please!!! -Gregg Daly
I would like to see a raytracing ipas that will handle animation, it doesnt have to access the sxp but it would be nice. I wish there was one is release 4 but I guess will have to wait. If you cant raytrace everything at least raytrace refractions for better…
Yeah, but I bought it from a thrid party, hopefully they take it back.
Whats the deral with these guys, I bought the book just so that I could get the raytracer. Well look like I will have to send it back. -Gregg Daly
Good to here from you. Nice caracters on the Siggraph demo tape. Well the Raytracer was a hope, but look like Ill have to wait till rayman for 3ds. -Gregg Daly

#3DS ver 4 .EXE?
Message #126768
Is ver. 4 going to be a .exe upgrade or is it just IPAS. -Gregg Daly
I think you guys are talking about my question that I asked about 2 weeks ago about making the water.sxp loop. If you are I was able to make the water loop, if not please ignore this message. Anyway, I was able to make the water loop with-in 50 frame.…
#IPAS water loop
Message #98925
Is there a way that I can make the water.sxp loop. If so, how? -Gregg Daly Graphix Zone
There is an easier way then all of the previously described ways. Its call "PYTHON", a new ipas aval. from SCHRIBER that lets you "grow" an object along a path. Ive tried it once and it works great for tire skids. -Gregg Daly GRaphix Zone
