>> Is there a way to run Animator Studio under Windows NT ? I've tried without any success !!! << hi Chris. AStudio was not written for NT, but for Windows 3.1. however, we have had reports of several people who have managed to get it running under NT 3.51 (latest patch) by changing the icon properties from FLASH.EXE to ANIMATOR.EXE. no guarentee, but you're welcome to try it. Autodesk is currently working on a version of AStudio which will run under NT and Win95. -dave

>> Hi Dave! When do you expect Autodesk to release the NT version of AStudio? << when do i personally expect it to be released? 😉 "soon" <ggg> can't comment on specific date, but here are some worthy signs/omens of note… Win95 is shipping, and 3DS NT is right around corner… Adesk will no doubt wish to have AAS on both heels. -dave

"When do you expect Autodesk to release the NT version of AStudio?" This has not been announced. I have been reassured that the NT version will be available around the same time as 3D Studio's NT version, which will be – I guess – around the beginning of next year. The original plan was to develop the WIN95 and NT compatible version at the same time, but the programming and testing were not similar enough to bring the WIN95 version to market in a timely manner. The decision was made to concentrate resources on getting Win95 support first. If you're a registered user of AAStudio, you'll be contacted when the NT version comes out and asked if you're interested in the NT version. Unless plans change, this will be free of charge.

Jay, I'm sorry for traversing old territory, however I missed your answer to the anticipated ship date for an animator pro or animator studio version which runs under NT. Also, do you know of any sources or secrets which will temporarily allow animator pro to run under NT. I have just recently seen a PIF fix for 3dStudio in the Planet Studio Mag. Thanks for your help, Kevin

I have tried the same PIF for animator Pro, with no luck.

Kevin, Autodesk is expecting to release an NT version of Animator Studio in early 1996. Jay

"Autodesk is expecting to release an NT version of Animator Studio in early 1996." I think you meant to say 3D Studio, not Animator Studio. The last I heard nothing was being promised. (Before that, I did hear that we wanted to have AAStudio on NT to be available around the same time as 3DS MAX, but nothing official. Didn't want to raise hopes in case it's not in the official plans.)
