3D Studio & HP650c Plots
6 messages in this thread
Initially, I am interested in sending full-color renderings, (similar to a 24
bit targa file). But, hidden line plots sound great too! If you have more
information, please fill me in. By the way, who/what is "Syndesis"?
What's an HP650c? Is it a color ink jet?
Syndesis Corporation makes InterChange, a program that translates between many
different 3D file formats.
Yep. It's HP's top-o-the-line color inkjet plotter (w/ optional Postscript
level 2 interface). We're demoing one now. Really nice 3DS output (using
Photostyler).

What is hidden line plots?
Regards Steve
In more CAD-like programs, you can load a 3D model, move to a perspective
viewpoint, then "render" the drawing as a series of lines, removing any "hidden
lines" that are obscured by other parts of the model, then send the visible
lines to a old-style plotter for a real-world high-res drawing of the model.
This has advantages over enlarging a bitmap to the size you want…
Joe,
Please call 1-800-825-4115 and ask about our RenderPrint software. Great
support for the DJ650's. Supports GIF, TGA, PCX, BMP, JPG, and TIF file
formats. Also supports over 1400 other printers as well. Runs as a
stnadalone, a TSR (pop-up), or as an Autodesk ADI 4.2 direct driver.
Does NOT require any extra memory in the printer or computer. Does NOT require
Postscript. Print full color 300 dpi 'E' size poster plots on a standard 4mb
DJ650c.
