Has anyone else used Magic IPAS from DIGIMATION? I can't get anything to render. I tried fiddling with the parameters and used the defaults as well, but always renders black. Anyone out there who can give me help whilst I wait for the manuals to arrive? – Doug Wolfgram/GRAFX, Written 13-Jun-1994 @ 06:28:54 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2

I've had no problems with it yet, Doug. Could it be that you are rendering the first frame of an animation that starts with no effect and gradually "sprinkles" the magic stuff later on? Try rendering a middle frame from some of the sample files and see what happens. If there is a problem with the routine, I'm sure DavidA will send ya a new one. -Alan

I talked to David A this morning. It turns out that I wasn't close enough to the object. Unlike, Fireworks, the Magic particles do not fill the box object. I got it all worked out. Thanks for the reply! – Doug Wolfgram/GRAFX, Written 13-Jun-1994 @ 16:08:34 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.2
