3DS.SET Error
Message #82987
Greg: The problem I was having with the Matrox card is now definitely confirmed by Matrox as incompatible drivers; the updated R3 drivers will be available in a month. However, the other day on my system I was importing a DXF file and the system crashed. When I went to…
Greg, When would be a good time to bring it by? Are you going to be hanging around your office on Sunday? I won't be able to make to your open house — my studio is on Mon. & Wed.
Hey Greg, what's up? This system is at school. They just got two systems for us — 486-66 with 16mb RAM. The graphics card is great — it's a Matrox something or other. It allows you to do real time walkthroughs in AutoCAD. (Were starting to do some real cool…
3DS problem
Message #80531
I am having a strange problem with 3DS r3, which I know there is an obvious answer for. I rendered a scene with no problems a few times. And then all of a sudden, it seems, the rendered image is a complete black screen. This happens on all rendering modes…
J. Foust: That's what I is say'n. What it does is convert the colors. It makes sense too, because until you plot the drawing red is red and white is white, not 0.18mm or 0.25mm or whatever. By the way Hijaak also doesn't support .shp files, so instead it substitues…
Marc: It depends on what you are doing. If you don't care about line weights, then you can use Hijaak, and it works. However, if you need line weights, then it starts to become an ordeal. But anyways this is what I've found to work. First you need a shareware…
#A Few Questions
Message #9962
I have a few general questions about 3D Studio and Animator Pro: (1) How would I capture an AutoCAD screen to use in Animator Pro? I've tried using Hijaak and created a .GIF file, but the the quality is pretty crummy. (2) When rendering to tape, can you combine a…
Sherwood: I understand. I got the problem fixed (see Kevin Krell's response). But I'd still like that utility and also see what your config and autoexec files look like. Thanks, Chris Yanchar
Kevin: You're a miracle worker!!!! I did an ol' tmode 11 and my baby was back to her old self. 3d Studio works now and so does Animator Pro. And Animator doesn't give me those memory error messages either. Why exactly did it give that message anyhow? Or does anybody…
Steve: Actually I think 3DS is great. You can pretty easily achieve some very nice results with the renderer, in addition you can animate the thing. I have only done some basic walkthroughs with the Keyframer (if you didn't know, that's the module of 3DS that composes the animations) by…

Sherwood: We did a still rendering in 3D Studio of one our projects and people do think that it's a photo. We're a design, engineering, and construction firm in Irvine, CA. We specialize in entertainment facilites: recording studios, video studios, etc. Right now we're finishing up a TV station in…
#Graphics Boards

What is recommended for rendering to stills and video using 3D Studio and Animator Pro? A Targa 64 or an Artist Realvision graphics board? Thanks
