You mean to tell me that AutoFLIX pages each and every full frame in and out of video memory, and doesn't do some kind of compression between frames? Gak.

I've been listening in the Forum for a couple weeks now. My DXF module is on the back burner this week, I've got other products to worry about.

So what frame rates (per second) does AutoShade do? And do you have recommendations for laying the animation to videotape?

No, no, no! 9.5 fps on the Compaq VGB, remember? … Panasonic makes a nice time lapse VCR, just need a Genlocker and you're off! … I love 'Flix! You guys did good, J. My boss wants to know how you managed to get such a fast cure cycle on the "B-PIN" machine, though……. (yeah, and he moulded the stripes in there, too!) … 😎 -ds .

I didn't forget, I just haven't seen it. Ah the bowling pin! Here is the secret, it's computer controlled! We use a new fast curing synthetic that when subjected to different curing temperatures will cause color changes. The bands actually cure first, about .005 seconds before the white base and top. We have to keep the mold going all day long as the material is fragile and the pins will only survive one hit from a bowling ball! <grin> We have our best people working on that. Jamie

YOU STILL DON'T HAVE A COMPAQ CVGB? (Compaq Video Graphics Board = Compaq VGA) … C'mon, Lew – buy Jamie a new CVGB! … The bowling pins are pretty phenominal…. (.005 sec) you say? WOW! …… I LOVE IT…… … Wanna come work with our engineers? We could use injection cycle times like that! -ds 😎 .
