scanner recommendations
Message #190574
My Microtek 600z seems to have died after 3 years. The three passes are significantly out of registration so Im shopping for a new scanner. Questions: 1) Is 30 bit really better than 24 bit? I do require good color fidelity. 2) Is one pass color 3 times faster than…
#Upgrading System for NT?
Message #190330
Hello Anne I find some message quoting to be useful in keeping track of what the original question was. I download about once a day so Im not reading more than a couple of messages from a thread at a time. Quoting makes the conversations accessable.
The great thing about having a PAR board or similar solution that enables playback of video resolution 24 bit color animations off a hard drive in real time is that the oppurtunity to review ones efforts easily improves the design process. I found that other solutions such as single frame…

Terry Thats the great thing about optimiz- one can model without worrying too much about face count because it can be adjusted later. Ed
The Stylus does very well, especially for the price. It will fit to page files of various sizes so 360 or 720 pixels per inch are not required. Ive even gotten pretty good results with video resolution files and 2k by 2k files print great. The color weave feature prevents…
Thanks Kenneth Ed
Keith If I didnt have acess to another modeler like animation master or macromodel and had to use 3ds only I would carefully consider what horizontal cross sections of the head would look like and create drawings of the cross sections to use in creating the sections in the shaper.…

Paul I teach animation and the struggle for many students in both traditional and computer animation is to think cinamatically. Its like silkscreen students who become so focused on screens, inks and masks that they loose sight of the fundamentals of color and composition.There is so much detail in learning…
Aleksey I have seen your impressive flc and lens. How about very much more complicated objects like a glass of water or a glass statue? Or would these require raytracing? Thanks Ed
