Thanks. I'll check it out.
#Info pls: 3DS Salaries
Message #145371
I'm employed full-time as an artist/animator with a major multimedia developer. I've been using 3DS full-time for about four years and consider myself quite proficient. I've done major modelling and animation projects for high-profile PC game and multimedia titles. I also do plenty of 2D support for my 3D work…
Training opportunities
Message #145127
I'm a 3DS pro who goes back to version 1. I'm looking to get into 3DS training, either freelance or for a company. Can anyone point me in the right direction for training opportunites, both stateside and abroad? Thanks in advance.
#R3/Windows video problem
Message #113596
I'm running 3DS under windows 3.1 on a Ambra pentium with a 2MB Viper PCI and 64MB ram. I have the new Vibrant driver that comes with IPAS3 disks 6 and 7. 3DS works really well under windows, but when I switch back to 3DS from another windows app, the…
Aircraft – Steve Johnson
Message #100118
Several months ago I asked about 3-D aircraft models. Someone recommended a guy in California (whose name escapes me). I contacted him, and purchased a model of a Curtis Helldiver (modelled by his partner, Lt. Steve Johnson, USAF.) This was a great model. Problem is, I need new models, and…

#Power PC?

Hey there, Any word on a version of 3D Studio for the Power PC? Thanks.
The official Adesk product is Animation Player for Windows, which you get as a bonus disk when you register Animator Pro. I don't know if it available by other means. It seems to be a very solid product. – Andy/MPS Labs
This seems to be a bug. I've noticed it too. The problem seems to occur after switching aspect ratios. If you keep your rendering driver @ Vibrant 640×480 1.00 aspect, this doesn't happen. But if you switch to VGA320X200 driver and then back to Medit, el squasho. I believe Jack…
Glad to have been of help. – andy/MPS Labs
I don't know any specifics on the technology. My guess is the "Rocket" tag line was invented by somebody in their marketing department. It would seem to be the successor to the WD90C31 accelerator. It is on a VLB board expandable to 2MB. It was shipped with the ALR Evolution…
I don't understand why dithering the 15-bit image in the driver would be a 'lie': the banding is a result of displaying a true-color image on a display that can't handle 24-bit depth. Let's say I am saving the images to full 24-bit targa files. If they are output to…
Thanks for the reply. I'll try that mode and see what happens. One further question: most of our cards are Orchid Prodesigner IIs with 1MB and hicolor. We're enjoying the 15-bit modes for materials and rendering. Is there any way to dither the 15-bit rendering display to eliminate the banding…
Thanks for the info, Jack. You guys are so on top of things that it's easy to get carried away and assume you are omniscient. – andy
#Visual Link dead?
Message #64722
We are awaiting 12 upgrade copies of R3, and we also ordered acad/win and Visual Link. Adesk told our software ordering guy that Visual Link would not work with R3, so we said, get it anyway, we'll use it with R2 and wait for an upgrade. When we again contacted…
Visual Link dead?
Message #64166
Thanks for the info. I'll keep at it. – a
I didn't mention that the problem occurs in the lofter also; I import my shape, rotate and position the path just so using 3D display, loft the object, transfer to 3D editor, and bang – it's _way_ the heck off in the corner somewhere, nowhere near where I had positioned…
Shaper-Editor problem?
Message #61186
I've been building vintage WWII aircraft in 3DS. I've been tracing shapes in acad and importing them via dxf into the shaper. Then I line up the shapes with the geometry in the editor using 3D display. Then I bring the shapes into the editor with create/object/get shape. The problem:…
#IFL vid-post problem
Message #59762
Hi Gary. We have been exploring IFL files in video post per your suggestion, but we have a problem. We create the IFL, bring it into vp as a bitmap, but in the frames grid it comes up as a single range bar. This makes it impossible to use the…
