Hello, I just purchased and received my LW4.0 PC version from private sale. However, the package was not sealed and the box has been opened already. I have no reason to believe my private source would remove anything, nor did the content looked incomplete. But I just would like check…

Thanks for the advice. I have thought about volunteering a lot, and I agree the experience gained will probably outweight the effort put in. The only obstacle for me is time. With a full time job and spending all my spare time learning about animation packages, there is not much…

I appoligize for my comment toward 3D Art Forum if it sounded like I was complaining about the cost. (well, just a little) I can imagine the level of effort and expense it must of took to pull off a meeting of that magnitude. Unfortunetly, I could not make it…

Thanks for the response. I also live in S. Calif., in Diamond Bar as matter of fact. Do you know of any good LightWave user group in this area. I've been to the 3D Art Forum meeting several times. But they don't meed very often, and they charge $15 for…

Tim: Thanks for the info. But I've already tried that. You can read what happen in the message I replied to Brian Rudolph. Hope you have other suggestions. Thanks a lot in any case. Mikey,

Brian, Thanks for the quick response. I've already tried the new 3dsvib.zip file. The problem persists. Following your direction, I've loaded the new driver files to 3ds4 directory. Proceeded with C:>3ds vibcfg command and change the first display driver to Vibrant and changed the display resolution to 640X480X256. Selected yes…

Is there anyone using Matrox Impression 3Mb with 3DS4? I am having difficulty getting 3DS4 to run with Impression. Here's a list of things I've tried. 1. Install the program normally. The program ran and rendered with default setting of VGA and 640X480X16 resoluation. Used VIBCFG to change to VIBRANT…
