>> Not again! But hey, save me the call….when is 2.0 due out? I have just recently purchased a Matrox Impressions + 4 meg VRAM PCI card and wanna try it out! Give me a hint! Any kinda date would be greatly appreciated!
>> My $1 solution is to just give them the scene and viewSpace….Then they can go anywhere… this could actually be very cool.
Ok, thanks GreG. I'll try it out and see what happens. – Shane.
>> First, what version of Imagine are you using? ImaginePC 3.2. >> Important question, does the extruded text object have front & back faces? I believe so. I actually used a True-Type font and extruded it in trueSpace (and scaled the front face(s)). Then I exported as DXF and imported…
#Text, lights, & fog.
Message #12403
Hi GreG, I'd really like your help on a certain effect I'm trying to create with Imagine. I want to have a light shining through a rectangle with holes cut out of it representing some text. The catch is that the light should be visibly coming through the holes in…
>> (it's been said that this tS UG is the hottest place on the planet for tS artists, and we've got a ton of you here!) As usual, I have to stick up for us Interneters . The trueSpace mailing list has a few hundred members and there's some really…
>> Talk e-mail to me.. Ooh, how kinky… 🙂
>> How do you draw 3-d object? Answer: very carefully. That was very well said (the whole message) – especially the example of modeling a horse. I think more beginners need these kind of descriptions to help them get started creating objects. Ken, you should get in touch with some…
Hi Stephen, > i'm new to compuserve and truespace………. > can you tell me how i can access the usenet for truespace from cis I'm fairly new to CIS also but I think I can get you started. There is no Usenet (ie. newsgroup) for trueSpace but there's a mailing…
Thanks for the info, Ian. Yes, my MB is loco-bus . – Shane.
Locking rotation
Message #11776
>> I am trying to create an animation which rotates an object clockwise between frames 45 and 60. Rotation starts before frame 45 but counterclockwise. I have followed the tutorial about locking scaling on page 294. In the scene the bullet should grow between frames 10 and 20. But the…
>> trueSpace has somehow messed up my scene file so that it will no longer load. I've loaded, changed, and saved it many times without problem… Are you sure it was TS that trashed your scene ? Have you tried running CHKDSK on your hardrive ? Don't suppose you have…
Hi Doug, >> If I may be so bold as to add to your wish list, disrtibuted rendering sure would be nice! Sure – I don't mind. I'd even _agree_ with you if I had more than one computer . – Shane.
Hi Michael, >> Those 3D glasses sound really cool. They are ! Everyone's been giving them good reviews. Although I have yet to try the 3D-MAX ones, I do have another pair and with some skill and a little luck, you can make very impressive true-3D scenes. I bought the…
#trueSpace wish list.
Message #11548
While we're on the subject of utilities that enhance trueSpace, I'd like to repeat my list of additions that I think would make TS "the best program in the world" ™: 1. special effects (well on our way but closer integration with TS would be nice) 2. object morphing 3.…
>> Man, I told you before — I want to *melt* stuff now!! After that, I'd say true 3D morphing of objects would be very cool.. (You know, turn a Camaro into a space ship, etc.. Can't you imagine doing that and having the camera above it and circle it…
> How many colors are you trying to display, and at what resolution? 640x480x16mil. Now before you say "well, that's your problem right there – you're working in 24-bits", you should know that this is the *fastest* mode (yes, even quicker than 256 colors – go figure!). Anyway, I spent…
> Ideas, anyone? What – mine weren't enough ?? Rob (and anyone else on the trueSpace mailing list), last night we had a disaster with someone emailing a 2 meg file to the list which was re-distributed to everyone and included in the digest mailing. I'm attempting to set something…

Sound problems.
Message #11433
>> Hmm… The ATI should have no problem playing video. On a 486/33, you should be able to play 320×240@15fps from disk or CD. That's what I thought. >> Look on the Jumpstart CD and find VidTest (in the vidtest directory). I tried it – doesn't look good for my…
Hi Ian, >> I spent many months tracking this problem down with the SB 16s… I actually had to downgrade various drivers to get rid of the problem. Ok, I'll look into this. >> Check the dates of your SB16 drivers… Well, up until a few days ago, they were…
>> Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can anyone help me to rotate a texture. I need to apply a wood texture to objects and seems like the only way to make the grain run the right way is to rotate the object. This is fine if its…
Sound problems.
Message #11369
Hi, While we're on the subject of sound, has anyone had the problem of frequent pauses of a few seconds in the sound when playing AVI's ? If so, did you fix it and how ? I'm trying to add sound to my TS animations using ATI's MediaMerge but when…
We miss you…
Message #11233
> […] so I think we can have someone participate regularly by the end of the month. Sounds good. There's no rush for constant support (we're currently just discussing general issues) but maybe Ryan (or someone) could post a message about 2.0 and what must be done to buy/receive the…
#We miss you…
Message #11204
uhm… there seems to be quite a few people from Caligari answering questions over here and I was just wondering if one of you could visit the TS mailing list on the Internet every once and awhile. There's more than 250 of us there and we'd really like to hear…
