Hallo Brian, Got 3ds4 since Feb. and now have 4 little Questions: 1) I can only play small Flics in 3DS (*.flc, aprx. 2-3 megs length) if the Flic is larger, 3DS hangs. (Vibrant: SPEA Merc. 2MB Vram) 2) 3D-Editor:-Create-Faces-build Theres a Promt for choosing Vertex but no blue line is visible. Is my 3ds.set or something off the preferences inside my 3DS wrong.? 3.) Hand.axp : When I hided some arms and hand and fingers in the 3d-editor and come back from the Keyframer, the fingers are now unhide in the 3D-Editor. 4) Is it right, that Flics as materials, e.g. 15frames, tiles from the beginning of the animation on.? So that in an anim of 150 Frames the flic-material repeats 10 times. Then there is a difficulty to start a material-flic at frame 32 and end it (after 4 Loops) at Frame 92. (Via Material-morph) —–I hope these are not the densest Questions, cause I tryed to do all the Tutorials.[g] BTW- is there a Ik-lesson in whitch I can learn to climb stairs or ladders. (I read about it in the tuts, but I can find it now.) Is there an IK-Update ? (the windows are a bit small, I think.) _System: Plato-Board 90Mhz 64MB: Dos 6.2, Qemm, Adaptec SCSI_ Regards Hans Rudi

>> 2) 3D-Editor:-Create-Faces-build Theres a Promt for choosing Vertex but no blue line is visible. Is my 3ds.set or something off the preferences inside my 3DS wrong.? << How many colors os your 3D Editor display set up for? I have mine set to 16.7m for the KPT interface but the Create-Faces-build blue pick box will only show up in 256 color mode. I think that this is a bona-fide bug. – Ernie Jackson, 73177,2354 11-Jul-1995 00:42:22 PDT

Hallo Ernie, I checked my SPEA Merc. Vibrant settings, and in 256 color mode the 3DS sreen is smaller then in 65K or 16.7m mode. Since Adesk`s Vibrant-Drivers offers 65k or 16.7m colors I agree with your opinion because of the bona-fide bug. -[How will they update this.? I had never heard about a 3ds-patch.]- (BTW what`s the KPT interface? Graphic-card with many ram ? ) Thank you for the hint Regards H.R.

>> what`s the KPT interface? << Kai's Power Tools Gradient Designer IPAS for 3DS. It is a color gradient tool for objects and backgrounds that can be animated over time. Very cool! It has a very unique interface that requires 24 bit color in all modules in order to look "right". – Ernie Jackson, 73177,2354 14-Jul-1995 13:57:26 PDT
