Message #184384
Hello: I have 3D Studio rel.4 and some extra tutorial books including CD-rom that I'll include with the package. If you're interested, send me some E – mail and I'll be glad to give you my phone number and address. Sincerely, George Design Concepts
Mitch: We're not allowed to discuss prices in the forums. That has to be done by E – mail or phone. Thought you may want to know because I'm also selling my Rel. 4 version. George Design Concepts
Jon: Must admit I'm an amateur in 3D Studio. Only been studying it since April, but I'm progressing OK so far. My question is, could someone give me a brief explanation about Animator Pro and what it performs in 3D Studio? Also, I've heard that Animator Pro is soon to…
Anne: Guess I'll reword my message and give it another try. Thanks,
Animator Pro
Message #172924
Anne or Anyone: A few days ago I posted a message asking for information about Animator Pro. Didn't get a single reply. I'd really like to direct my questions to Autodesk. If you know a phone number and name of person to talk to, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, George
Anne: Thought I'd let you know I took care of your request. Also, I've noticed there are many people posting messages wanting information about 3D Studio "training". I asked the same question some time back and was told I must learn on my own. So I bought the release 4…
#Ani Pro Information
Message #171751
Hi: I've only recently been using 3D Studio. So I'm not yet proficient in animation. If anyone is using Ani Pro, I'd like to know more about it and what it can do. Sincerely, George
John: Thank's. Guess I'll give it another shot! George
Victoria: The software is Imagine 3.2 and is developed by Impulse Inc. (they're based in Minneapolis) Some of the files on the CD Rom are .OBJ (that's a new one for me). Someone said there's a new vesa driver coming out soon, but that doesn't help me now. Then someone…
John: Thank's for the reply. I'll give it a try. If I get stranded, I'll get back to you. George
#Autodesk Animator Player
Message #160843
Hi: I need a vesa driver that will view the images on my CD-Rom. A message appears saying: no vesa driver. Problem is, I can't find anything that will work. Someone said the Autodesk Animator Player will do just fine. Does anyone know where it is? George PS I'm using…
Chris: Try to be a little more specific in what you are trying to do and I'll try to assist you. Also, please don't type in all caps. I did the same thing when I first joined CS, then saw how terrible it looks. George
Steve: This was a case of misunderstanding the instructions in the manual. It made several references to "move" and only one about "rotate". I was trying all the time to pick the objects and move them. I finally realized that I should rotate them. Guess that's the price we pay…
Thaine: Please don't type in all caps. I did the same thing when I first joined CS and then saw how awful it looks. George
Walking Mannequin
Message #158558
Hi: I've been doing some exercises in Inside 3D Studio rel 4. ( I'm real new) I encountered a problem at page 798 in Chapter 15. Loaded 13DWALK.3DS into 3D editor and entered keyframer. Linked the tree structure of the mannequin, hand to forarm to uparm. Set the total frames…
Ron: 3D Studio will cost you about 2,500 or so. There are other programs you could consider. But, since you are doing animations, the choices are slim! George
John: Sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Just hang in there and give it your best.
John: Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering what University you're at and what you're learning to do. Since I'm into rendering, I'm trying to find out about a lot of things. Thank's, George
Darrin: You may get some results from Imagetects. Give them a call and ask for their catalog. The only phone number I have is 1-408-252-5487. George
Dave: Thank's for the informative reply. The reason I'm seeking the information about 3-D Studio is that some of those help wanted ads for animators and artists are appealing. This mechanical design field I'm involved in is at a very slow growth period now. How about sending me another line…
Dave: I'm a devoted user of Autodesk products. Mainly Designer (that's 3-D solids modeling). I'm really considering 3-D Studio, but I'm concerned about the cost. My concern is, I wonder if all this advanced training in 3-D will actually pay off in the long run. Hope for your reply, George
Darryl: Thank's for the reply. I always thought the world revolved around 3-D Studio. I'd like more information about this. Sincerely, George
Darryl: Just wondering if you could send me some information on this new program. Thank's George
Marcelo: 3D Studio is a product of Autodesk. You may find more information about it in another forum. > George
Steve: Drop a line some time and let me know exactly what you are asking for. At the same time, I'd like to know the primary business of Hash Inc. Sincerely, George
Wayne: Please don't type in all caps. I did the same thing when I first joined CS, then saw how awful it looks. But to answer your question, I believe 3D Studio is your best bet for animations. George
#3D Studio vs Designer
Message #150923
Hi: I have spent the last six months learning to work with Designer (that's 3-D solids modeling) with the intention of becoming proficient in mechanical design. However, I've recently become more interested in computer art. After attending a 3D Studio users group meeting and seeing what some of those guys…
Pierre: I don't have access to BBS. Do you know their phone number so I can call them direct? George
Pierre: I'm interested in renderings too. Just wondering if that number is BBS or phone. George

Service Bureau
Message #142108
Hi: I'm looking for a service bureau in the continental US that is proficient in Photoshop and Painter 3.0. If you know your stuff when it comes to color separations and using filters and can print in dye-sublimation, I'd like to hear from your marketing rep. My files are in…
Ted: Thanks for your interest. I'm in San Diego, California. George
#Rendering Capabilities
Message #141935
Hi: I've been in rendering for about 6 months. My business is mainly product imaging in Virtual Reality. I'm presently using Designer and Autosurf on Rel. 12. (I'll soon upgrade to Rel. 13.) If 3D Studio would be a benefit to my objectives, I would like to hear from someone.…
