The only time I have trouble with the pallettes on my 3D pics are when I try to get the Haitex software to load the SV-generated image, using hte M3D software. Is there another way to view these pics? I don't think that thing multitasks (M3D) so I couldn't get to start up the glasses and then pop back to a Silver display of the pic. What have I missed? (I tried another one last night with the same result: one image is OK, and the other has a messed up HAM pallette.) Waving a real glass Klein bottle at you,

I've been using Silver SV for some time. Use the IVIEW program (on Silver disk, or in the Impulse library here). It allows viewing all resolutions, including Stereo vision. Also, you can use the TSilverViewer (I think that's what its called) to view your ANIMATIONS in SV. Pretty fun stuff.–jp–

Karl, The stereo picture files used by TS/SV and the Haitex 3D stuff is slightly different. The Haitex stuff assumes that both images will have the same palete and ignores the second image's palette. TS/SV allows a different palette for each image. Use the IVIEW program to view TS/SV stereo images. Phil Camp.

Uh, yeah! Like THOSE guys said… I've had a few weird things happen with my Haitex software. It has some real problems with actually MAKING 3-D pics. (Maybe I should send in the long-lost registration card and see if they ever upgraded any of the stuff!) In any case, I set their software aside and haven't tried viewing my Silver 3-D with the Haitex software. I doubt if I will, now! (Except maybe to see how munged up it looks!) Well, I hear the Klein Bottle calling me again…I'm getting SICK of the stupid thing! Tweaking it just isn't doing it. I think it's time for something DRASTIC! I wonder what applying an angular texture to it will do… Robert
