#ANI v.1.3a upgrade

<< However, 1.3a also fixes a memory problem and a few other little things. If
you wanted to run under windows, in a DOS shell, you could fill out the bug
form in the back of your manual and will receive 1.3a. Of course, if you
don't want to run like that, there is no need.>>
Brian: How about shelling-out to ANI PRO from 3DS? Is there a
benefit to the 1.3a upgrade, or only for Windows/DOS shell? Is
there a list of these improvements somewhere in the forum lib?
<<How about shelling-out to ANI PRO from 3DS? >>
The AAPRO update has no bearing on shelling from 3DS into AAPRO. Phar
Lap in 3DS controls this, not Phar Lap in AAPRO. For details on
shelling out of 3DS, download 3DSHEL.TXT from the 3D Studio library.
Thanks again, Brian!
I have a Gateway P5-90 with MGA PCI 2MB card. Can anyone tell me whether there
is a specific driver for Animator Pro player other than the vesa ones which
play back in jerk mode. I have the new beta drivers for 3D Studio and I can
play a FLC file comparatively smoothly from within 3DS but this does not allow
contol of speed of playback or stopping at a given frame, and anipro player
does not recognise the new 3DS drivers no matter where I place them. Gratefully
awaiting any replies
"jerk mode" <g>
Well, I like your turn of phrase! Autodesk does not support the MGA card
directly, except as a VESA device. However, it's worth calling Panacea or
Vibrant to see if they have a driver which can give you increased performance.
The 3D Studio drivers are different and will not work.
Vibrant: 800/937-1711
Panacea: 800/729-7420
Good luck. The MGA has a good reputation, and I hope that Panacea and Vibrant
can help.

Nik Thank you for your reply. I will contact Vibrant & Panacea and
see what they have, I have also replied to Brian Rudolph's reply to
explain the problem in more detail and see if there is any solution
to architechtural walkthroughs that look more like stumble throughs!
The VGA Producer card (which was not inexpensive) is my basic output
to PAL Video realtime 1st draft client approval and exhibition stands
etc, and therefore this is a mega setback. Still, I live in hope of a
brainstorm compuserve solution <g> … any further ideas gratefully
appreciated. Thanks again Richard
