John, Does it come with a monitor, or keyboard? Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Rick, Bang for Buck, the PAR is hard to beat! Single frame is great, but cost prohibitive if you're a small company. The single frame controllable deck alone could run you 20K. The Flyer is having some problems with LW rendering to it's harddrives. I'm not a Flyer owner so…
Wayne, PMFJI, but I wanted to thank you for writing in such detail about this subject. I've attempted to understand the relationship between the primary colors so my graqhics won't be too hot, but it's so confusing. Your help is greatly appreciated! I have two (2) questions. 1. If one…
Hi Ray, So you're saying you reinstalled the software (2.5x) and it made the problem completely disappear? Or, are you saying that the 2.51 version caused the problem, and when you reinstalled 2.5 the problem went away? Take care, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Thanks Chuck! Thanks for your continued efforts. When will they be returning? Take care, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
PMFJI Todd, Concerning you rebuttal of the comments on your book in this thread – well spoken, well said. We who may be considered "Power Users" of LightWave should remember that many of our techniques were discovered through hours of trial and error. However,a user companion of this magnitude during…
Chuck, PMFJI, Is this for the full Toaster, or the stand alone? And while I've got you, has a decision been made as to my upgrade from 3.1/3.5 (purchased 1/17/95, but old shelf stock so wrong upgrade registration card)? Thanks for your persistence, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Dave,
Trent, Thanks! I couldn't find that number anywhere! Take care, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Beware "Software Hut"
Message #48113
Mick, I've been dealing with Software Hut for over (5) years and have never been refused a refund or credit. Nor have I ever received anything other than professional treatment. I've purchased everything from ram, to books, to complete Amiga systems from them, and never had an incident such as…
#Seeking Toaster
Message #210156
To All, Someone here was selling a Video Toaster board for $450.00. If it's still available please send me an E-Mail. Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Rusty, Rush out and get Dale Larson's book, "Connecting Your Amiga." It holds all the answers you seek. Good luck, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
RAL, Thanks for the reply. I want to order Holy Cow/Requiem. Would you E-Mail me the total cost along with where to send the check? Thanks, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Chris, How much for the TBC-IV alone? Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
RAL, Is the $16.00 version with Requiem still available? That's the one I keep hearing raves about! If so I'll get a check out to you this week. Let me know. Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Hi Hank! Yes, it's booked! We can hold the meeting anywhere from 5pm to 10pm. Probobly 7pm would be a good start time. Attendees will have to park behind the building, walk to the front entrance, sign in, and wait in the lobby. We'll go up in a group. If…
Hank,
Thanks Betty! Wise words indeed! Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Hank, I got mine from MEI/Micro Center 1-800-634-3478. It comes in a 250w and 500w configuration, the latter running about $160.00 which is dirt cheap compared to replacing your CPU. It's state of the art, and compact. Good luck, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Asha, Thanks! I got it last night and it work like a charm. My AutoPilot is working great again (though I lost my entire address book, ARRRGGGH!!!) Thanks for the help (again!) ;^) Take care, Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Thanks Steve. Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
Thanks Steve, will do. Michael,CyberGrafx.3D
#LHA?
Message #208902
To all: I need to find the LHA Command. I've lost mine when my harddrive crashed andhdhe and burned, and can't dearchive my AutoPilot demo. It's sort of a catch-22! If you've gone through it you know how frustrating it is. I can't get to the LHA C command because…
Ed,
RAL, I know that fuzzy feeling! I think it came at the bottom of a bottle of tequila. :^) Thanks for the info. I'll be sending for it right away. I love it if more artist and musicians would advertise their stuff here. I've always got a little money to…
Wayne, Have you ever been there when one of the major carriers (UPS, FED-X etc.) loads, or unloads a truck? You'd swear you were at a basketball practice! Something should be done about it. Regardless of how it's packed, if you toss a box that weighs 80 lbs ten feet,…
John,
Marion, Thanks for the reply and info. I've never turned on the History function so the Parent key has alwys been ghosted. Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Michael, You're aware of course that if you purchase a version previous to the current version (which is 3.1) you won't be able to upgrade it. If you're still interested I have a 3.0 version I can sell you at the price you've quoted. Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
RAL,
Anthony, PMFJi, I just had my Quantum 525 mb SCSI 2 go down under a shower of read/write errors! Happened suddenly! Prognosis not good, I sent it back to factory (still under warrenty). However, I found a company called Dirt Cheap Drives in Texas who has 830 mb Quantums (SCSI…
Gerald, Yes! I've already done this, and ask that all others involved here to do the same. The Autopilot forum is, after all, only one cul de sac in the vast Compuserve neighborhood. But Go Feedback takes you directly to where THEY live! It'll garner much quicker attention there. Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
I agree completely, and will sign said petition as soon as it is available. We must not let this issue remain idle. Only constant push will bring about the required change! Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Eduard, There is some truth to what you are saying, but, I've found, especially in the Amiga community, a love for the machine and it's O/S that trancends the desire to merely get the job done. We Amigans, and Toaster users, feel that we are part of something special. That's…
Sean, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Be sure to bring it with you to September's LWToaster meeting (I want to rub it!). And don't forget to bring a tape of the Stephen King commercial. My screen isn't quite so big (only 10' x 16') but there'll be other's there (hopefully) who'll want to see…
Barry, My pleasure. This forum gets so serious sometimes I couldn't resist interjecting a little humor! ;^) Take care, Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Aaah! The old frying pan, I know it well! My wife is fond of pointing out that the equipment on my desk is worth more than my car. Boy, the truth really hurts! ;^) Take care! Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Tom,
Tom,
Tom, Thanks very much for the convention info. on Larry & Lee. They're terrific! It suprises me how many computer people are musicians. I'm a folk guitarist myself, but I appreciate jazz guitar. Are you familiar with Acoustic Alchemy? I highly recommend these two guys for anyone who enjoys jazz,…
Chris, You might want to ask that question in the AmigaVendor forum also. Many technical specialists, and Amiga Vendor hang out there (go figure! ), and would welcome a chance to compare those two systems. I've been conversing with Paul Gerhardt (73467,3457), Dale Schoeck (74170,2244), and others, both of whom…
Paul, Yes, it's very unfortunate that we've lost out on the enthusiasm for space that ensued following the succesful landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. Had we kept up the pace, I agree, we'd be booking passage atleast into orbit by now. But thanks to the shortsightedness of our…
Stephen, Many DL's from Compuserve can't be decompressed using LHA. The extension (.arc, .lha, .ext, etc.) tell you what compressed the file, and what platform it's intended to be run on. Most of the decompressor are in the libraries. Many do not have interfaces and must be run from the…
Stephen, I'm glad you've got it going! Remember, the less you have moving on the screen the faster, and smoother, your anims will play from ram. IOW, if fewer pixels have to change, it will run faster, and less jerky. The closer your camera gets to your objects, or the…
Paul,
Stephen, My previous response contained most of what I remember from using the program. When I first started 3D animation I outputed to tape in the same way, with a DCTV and Rend24, so I know it will work for you (eventually). (g) Sorry I can't remember anymore. Good luck,…
Sean, Thanks, I'll send it straight away! Take care, Mike,CyberGrafx.3D
Stephen, It sounds like your not setting Rend24 up correctly. Be sure your rendering you lightwave frames as RGB, not Framestores. Determine the directory that you are compiling them, then put the path name in Rend24's source window. Select DCTV as your animation type, and input a destination path into…
