Select the "HalfBrite" mode option, VSeg 1.1 will now load HAM Images!!!! Thanks for the comments!!! (Look for more interesting stuff, like Lights Camera, Action! …. more power than VSeg and Sound and Music synced to slides and animations!!!).

I pay BIX nada. CBM's developer support is on BIX. So complain to CBM not to me …. CBM's amiga.dev special section is where the IFF dicussions take place.

Talk to CBM, not to me. CBM runs their technical developer support on BIX.

Talk to Commodore …. not to me. I'm there (on BIX) because Commodore's there … and BIX also provides Aegis with it's own product support section …. They PAY US to run that section.
We have a QMS Laser printer that's PostScript driven AND has a Centronics port! It also supports the Apple network. Could be a good way of doing PostScript with the Amiga.
I'll go with IEEE if that's the decision. BUT I do believe that the scaled int. approach is superior. Biggest problem with the IFF drawing standard is dealing with stuff like parametric drawings (the dimensions in Draw Plus are a small example). There's also some desire to IFF PostScript as…
Commodore's there, hence I visit it. I much prefer CIS because I can do all my work offline. With message subjects I can skip over what I need to read. On BIX you end up wading thru a ton of messages. The IFF dicussion is on Commodore's support section. By…

AutoCAD to Amiga !
Message #125443
The major reason Draw Plus uses ASCII is because a float using FFP isn't the same float using 68881 IEEE. You might be interested in the drawing format dicussion (IFF) in the amiga.dev/iff section of BIX. I've been pusing for scaled 32 bit ints, but it looks like IEEE's going…

They are going out the door. We have alot of updates to send, sorry for any delays. It's a real nice version.

The Utility is called the Plot to Print converter. It's sold by: Hi-Tech Graphics P.O. Box 446 Tallmadge, Ohio 44278 It takes HPGL output from Draw Plus and creates high quality printer output for Epson and other printers. We are allwys working on updates so stay tuned. Thanks.
And this is the first time I've seen it… If you want to upgrade from Titler 1.0/VSEG 1.0 to the 1.1 versions … send in your master disk. Make sure you are registered too….
I agree on the delay being way too long. Working on it…
No information yet. If it's mainly bug fizes it will be a send in your old disk deal.

ViudeoScape 2.0 supports HAM (due out shortly). Titler does not …. but it's slideshow (VSEG) does!!! Titler does support HalfBrite modes though…..

Dot matrix output
Message #118604
There is a utility that converts HPGL to dot matrix output. Also I'm considering changing the Draw Plus printing to vastly improve it's quality. I'm still committed to supporting ALL the Amiga dot matrix printers as well… William Volk
Nope, we've allways had HAM support in our ANIM's. In fact the animation with the ray traced scene and the airplane flying around it is HAM. The 2.0 Videoscape release also supports HAM. We haven't seen any compression better than the latest ANIM specification. I would love to incorperate any…

Here Here! A Desktop Video topic makes alot of sense. This is the Amiga nitch market, and it needs to be exploited. As to ANIM… Aegis uses the IFF ANIM file format that has been released (the format) to the public. There are no private formats in use at Aegis…

The DMP driver on the Draw Plus disc can be modified for any of the DMP series. I believe we have a DMP 52MP driver on the Plus disk.

Yep, ROT only deals with ROT files. D3D deals with ROT files (input/output) and V3D files (output). So having interchange deal with V3D to ROT is a good (great) idea. I also think you should consider interchange between various computers (AutoCAD objects etc…) There is considerable $$$ to be made…

#Animation Standard?
Message #117555
All they have to do is use Designer 3D (which is on the VideoScape disk) to go from ROT to VideoScape. D3D is basically ROT with some changes and support for V3D.

Aegis' VideoTitler's VSEG slide show WILL support HAM images (1.1 version, now shipping). It's a neat trick, you simply put VSEG into HalfBrite mode. VSEG will recognize a HAM picture (or even a HAM ANIM!!!) and display it in that mode. However use simple transistions, as some of the transistions…

You might want to look at Aegis VideoTitler and it's slide show program. Titler's edgeing effects can be used for anti-alising (on text).

We have a supergen here at Aegis. It's quite nice, so nice that we added software support for it's fading controls into the revised VideoTitler/VideoSeg software (shipping now).
Take a look at 256 color 640 x 400 Digiview stuff. I think you'll be surprized. A deep (24 bit) Pallette helps also…

Please take a look at DigiView IP files viewed at 640 x 400 x 256 colors first. (Dithering can make a difference).

#Aegis Animator
Message #108092
For Animator, unfortunitly …. yes. Animator keeps it's bitmaps in CHIP RAM. And the bitmaps compose the vast majority of the memory that Animator uses. One of the reasons we started using the ANIM stuff in VideoScape 3D and Titler was because of the CHIP memory limitations. So around -m400000…

No date yet. We are recieving new copies from the developers for testing. I'll make sure that every BUG that gets reported gets checked out on the next version. Thanks for your help.

Message #107535
Don't have information on 20,000 Leagues. Jim did lose an INCREDABLE amount of work to the virus, I hope the creators of the virus realize the damage they caused. Aegis has just released Ports of Call, a maritime simulator. Really excellent product. Here is some feed back from users…. BIX:Amiga.user/main…

#Draw Plus icons
Message #107186
Draw Plus will not load a clicked ICON. One of the disadvantages of developing in the "dark ages" was that the information on how to do that wasn't readily available. I expect that a future version will support this. Sorry about that…

Message #107185
No, I'm refering to XON/XOFF. It shouldn't be on if you do alot of file transfers …. there is a real possibility that a character in a file could be a CTRL-S ….
Director will also play ANIM's gererated with VideoScape 3D and VideoTitler.

X-Cad info
Message #106081
Rumor has it that X-CAD has a menu for importing Draw Plus data, BUT that it only displays a message that states that it will NOT import Draw Plus data. Anyone know for sure???
The Director supports the IFF ANIM format. It makes me feel great to see developers working toward standards that benifit ALL products as opposed to private formats that benifit no-one. This means that the Director will play animations created with VideoScape 3D and VideoTitler. So it can only help our…
The Aegis VideoTitler program comes with VideoSeg. VideoSeg is a slide show program that also supports ANIM's. The director also looks like a good system.
