#Unlimited PAR
Message #197017
I have the latest release of the PAR software from this forum and I am getting an error that reads: "A maximum of 8192 frames may be joined into an animation file." Why is that? I thought that they fixed the problem with this limitation? My video post is 9000…
#Hidden Line Removal
Message #194908
How would I go about rendering an animation with hidden line removal? I have tried using a bitmap of a black square with white edges as a facemap on the object but the resolution of the wireframe is a little too much for the map and the lines do not…
#3DS MAX Wish
Message #189194
Sure would be nice if 3DS MAX PRJ files had the option of saving _ALL_ relevant information. That would mean bitmaps, ipas, and any other information linked to the project in any way. I want to be able to save a project, tote it to another computer that is not…

Stereo Imaging
Message #182056
Anyone done any stereo imaging(the kind with the funky two colored glasses) with 3DS? I am wondering if there are any programs that will convert two cammera rendered images into one stereo image for viewing with the glasses. Generally any methods and advice would be helpfull. Thanks, Daniel
#Glow
Message #179062
Is there any way to make the GLOW IPAS routine generate a glow size proportional to the distance anway an object is? Glow does exactly what I need but the glow of any object close to the camera is just as big as one far away from the camera. Thanks,…
#?Audio
Message #178042
Anyone know of a good wav sequencer? Now that I can add a wav file to my animations with PAR VCR I need a good sequencer to assemble the wav file with. Everything I have seen or used wouldn't do. Wav editing programs will record and mix two tracks but…
PAR
Message #176217
To those programming the PAR software: It would be great if you could add the abillity to import JPG files. It would enhance the performance of the PAR on my hardware greatly. Thanks, Daniel
>>Are you looking for Str$(x) or possibly Val(x$)? (Math,String and Logical Functions in the New Features Guide)
#Conversions
Message #174994
Anyone know how to convert an integer to a string? want to make a routine that will work on an object and all its instances, but I need to be able to refer to the copies by the integer part of their name. Thanks, Daniel
#?PAR/SCREEN Colors
Message #174588
Does anyone know how to make the colors on the PAR identical to the colors on the work display? I render images to the screen and they look exactly the way I want then to but when I render them to the PAR they are much lighter. I don't like…
#Want USA map mesh
Message #173740
Does anyone have a good mesh file of the United States? I would perfer one where each state is an object. I am wanting to animate regions of the US going from all together to seperate and would be easy to just link or attach the regions. Thanks, Daniel
#Boolean wish
Message #173739
I wish that the 3D Boolean operations would work right every time. Over 80% of the time I have to screwed up faces on objects when using subtraction. PLEASE fix this in R5, it wastes an way too much of my time. Thanks, Daniel
>>To determine if you need the update, look at the back of your PAR board – if "VX" is in the serial number, you don't need the chip.
PAR programming
Message #172874
Anyone have programming information for the PAR? The software that comes with it is terrible. I want to program something that is fast and at least relatively bug free. Even the new Windows MCI drivers cause a general protection fault. Obviously DPS's strengths lie in hardware and not software. Thanks,…
