Hmm my recommendation? Pentium with no less than 16 megs of ram ESPECIALLY if you are going to be using Autocad R13 and 3D Studio. The more ram the better. And as for NT… I do not think you have to have 'SERVER' I am pretty sure that NT in…
Purchasing 3D Studio
Message #167325
Is there a company out there that sells 3d Studio to people allowing them to make payments on it instead of making one big lump sum payment. – Wade
Neil your pentium fits in that category of being an IBM compatible type computer.
Well here I am again – and I seem to have missed this forum the last time I was on. So I am throwing in my thoughts about all of this. First of all, I think we all know that CDK is a good product, but if people do not…
I *THINK* it was in the neighborhood of 1500 american dollars…. however I can not swear to that because I got it through the upgrade. – Wade
Hmm well… set it to some name where everyone will think I am a big wheel and send me all kinds of things such as video cards/engines and things like that – that way I can develop somethings faster. 🙂 Lets see… My name is umm Billy Gates
Welp not real sure how to change it… I did change it on my preferences on my WinCIM program. Wade Thurman would be just fine. – wade
(god i hate the way it does my name… wade . thurman) anyways… i just gotta say this… i agree with brian and angela on things they have been saying lately. i think they are both great. (wade gives yall a pat on the back) – wade (glad yall are…
Ya welcome. Since you probably have a much higher budget than me you will probably run off and leave me *sniff* But such is life. Let me kno what happens 🙂 Wade
I am not sure if they allow evaluation of such a product. As for the globe spinning… as with all things, this would depend on the power of your machine. Ram, Proc, Video Card/Engine? are crucial for real time. I am on a limited budget and thus have only 20…
CDK Ver 2 is rather quick and easy to setup. *IF* you know C++ you are in business. The new version (2) comes with some programs in Windows (use NT if possible) that will let you instantly pull up the worlds/objects you have created with 3DS and Autocad. You can…
Sorry but I gotsa VL Bus. But I will dig around some more. As for being a small timer… I suppose its just that I am not sure where to go in all of this, so I am just holding my nose and jumping in. Its not easy tryin to…
#Cirrus Video Drivers…
Message #157149
Hmm, upon running CDK V.2 demos (and they require WinG) WinG is coming up with an error that I need to find a more updated video driver for my stupid card. (5420 type) I know I know its a sorry video card for use of VR… but I am going…
Thumbs up!
Message #157062
I simply have to give Kevin Y. and the folks at Autodesk a 'Thumbs up!' for speeding up my CDK Version 2 delivery. I now have it at home, and it is up and running. I am 100 percent Autodesk blood now 🙂 Currently saving up to buy 3D Studio…
Hmmm if I had owned a copy of 3DS I would be happy to contribute… but such is life… and I will have to wait until I get the money to purchase the program. – Wade (thanks for telling me about it)
I was beginning to wonder if you didnt talk to small timers like myself. But thanks for the letter. I have already downloaded the Navflyer, and it seems like a nice program. Thanks 🙂 Wade
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I havent been around here that much.. StudioCity? Someone care to give me a brief run down on this? – Wade (getting nosey)
Okay, so tell me the best route to take in 3DS. I am already trying to teach myself what I can about CDK, but currently waiting for the new version (that Kevin really helped speed things up with). But lemme see I would *ASSUME* that I get some training in…
Hmm Done a little readin about you Angela… seems you are a star at Microngreen? (spell that right?) and this company has a program called umm NAVFlyer? Well I have seen the 3ds 4.0 demo tape, I have seen 3ds 3.0 run and some things it can do… I am…
Ahh just read back again, sorry bout that Angela 🙂 I have heard your name a few times now that I think about it. So you have any advice for me? – Wade
Hmm hello to you too 🙂 I would assume you are from some company Angela? Yes I intend to do the things I have mentioned… but its kinda tough getting started (so it seems). But alas, we will see. – Wade
Thanks! Wade
Animation Screen Savers
Message #151247
I havent been around very long here, but I do remember when I first logged on that somewhere I read that someone had a program that would take 3d studio animations and make them into screensavers? If this is so, is this program still available? Can someone point me to…
Okey Dokey. I will decide what I like the most and go after it. Heard anything about me getting the upgrade yet? -wade
So, I am going in the right direction? Which is to find some 3d studio training and teach myself CDK? Any tips on the business side? Any tips period I could use 🙂 – Wade
Yes, I personally do not like the way they are blurring the picture of what is real virtual reality, and what is not. I suppose I should tell you exactly where I would like to go… I would like to in time start my own company that does actually a…
Thanks. As for a modem, well yes I do have a 28.8 – but doesnt seem very reliable (irq conflicts, due to the stupid modem not being adjustable) I didnt pay for it tho – a friend is letting me use it. So I have yet to test it with…
Wow! Thanks for the quick response. Biodyne out of Houston. I have tried and tried to be nice and patient with them, called them several times but to no avail. I am very new to all of this, and it would seem there is TONS of good stuff here for…
#CDK 2
Message #149570
Kevin, I have spoke with you a few times on the phone, and you referred me to some folks in houston to order my CDK. I did this on the agreement that I would be getting the upgrade for free. Now here I am (w/CDK 1) trying to get them…
