Animator needed in NYC
Message #131469
I am bidding on a complex video production involving some computer animation. If you have the equipment and a good demo reel please get in touch as soon as possible. This is high-end stuff. Professionals only. Will help a lot if you are in NYC area. Larry lblume@netcom.com or 76476,2464…
Thanks for the info on AND group. Larry
Do you know specifically how to accomplish this in software without making each disc unique? Also, what's to keep a user from giving away the code to his or her friends, etc. and having the code unlock their disk as well? Larry
#CD-ROM copy protection
Message #43456
Is there a way to make each CD-ROM in a large pressing unique? I am trying to make a disk that will unlock only specific areas depending on a code number of some sort. I think Adobe has done this, somehow allowing you to purchase fonts over the phone and…
#3DS to video help
Message #37148
Laser seems right to me, too. But I'm not sure the quality is MUCH higher than hi-8. certainly more durable though. Broadcast quality laser recoders are very expensive in comparison.
Thanks for the help. I ended up removing all hardware, adjusted switch settings, changed interrupts and Base mem. settings for all cards, reinstalled software, changed swap disk to C: and hey, guess what? Everything is working. Well it took about forty hours but who cares. Time to get some sleep……
I'm not using the Adaptec 1522 for my hard disk. That item is IDE controlled from my motherboard. The adaptec drives the Syquest and CDROM. It does seem that the crash occurs as it is accessing the Syquest so maybe it is a swap file problem. But what do you…
#Problem w/ CDROM Extensi
Message #30015
Help! I have just bought a CDROM so I can use the nifty CD that came with 3ds but am having trouble. I have a Texel 3024 drive, Adaptec 1522 controller, Syquest removable 44 meg. It all works great with other apps. but 3ds locks up on rendering. I've narrowed…
thanks for the advice. Seems like lots of work, but what isn't with 3-d stuff! Larry
#TGA to mesh convert
Message #26241
Is there a converter to get from a .TGA image to a mesh object or at least a compatible 2-d shaper file. I have a matted image of a dog saved as a .TGA file that I want to make into a 3-d object. Help is appreciated… Larry Blume Calico…
Mitch – I for one, would be very interested in such a book. Although the manuals are pretty complete, I am overwhelmed trying to learn to use 3ds as an artist. My head is spinning and a book with a different tone would be very helpful. Just keep it under…
#Video > Animator
Message #15335
Is there a good way to get from live video input through a targa board to animator FLI or FLC files. In other words, how can I get almost full motion video into my PC and take advantage of animator for manipulation and playback. Larry
Well Martin, I too have purchased animator recently and now realize that what I needed was animator Pro. I think there should still be an upgrade path possible. $799 is quite expensive for a program like this and selling only through authorized dealers forces people like me to pay retail…
Call me stupid, but what is POCO? do I have that with animator? Larry
#Real-time video !@#$%
Message #12560
I need to get real-time or as close as possible video off the Targa+ and convert to animator format EASILY. So far I haven't had much success. HELP!!! Larry
Please suggest to your bosses that this real-time feature is critical to the success of your product line in a world where quick-time is real and has solved all of these crappy problems so that artists like me can get some of our own work done. We are not capable…
What is 3DSr2 ??? that's what I need too! Larry
Multi-Media DLL
Message #3564
How can I get my hands on a DLL with multi-media extensions so I can use VB to control Soundblaster and Images in an interactive environment? In other words, I want to create a multi-media app. using sound, graphics, etc. in VB and can't seem to find the right functions…
