For anyone involved with Autodesk 3D Studio, etc… 1) Is 3D Studio MAX for Windows NT runnable on Win 95? I had NT 3.51 and hated that thus far it's incompatible with alot of stuff, so I now have 95. 2) Is there currently, or in development, a 32-bit .FLC/.FLI player? My old Win 3.11 player give errors all the time running Win 95 (it did also under Win 3.11) Just curious…. Steve

Animator Studio's own Player module and Scriptor module handle 32-bit format animation files provided you have 32-bit hardware to support them. keep in mind, Animator Studio does not run under Win95. there will be an AStudio Win95-specific version out soon which will. -dave

Hi Steven, << 1) Is 3D Studio MAX for Windows NT runnable on Win 95? I had NT 3.51 and hated that thus far it's incompatible with alot of stuff, so I now have 95. >> Please search the library with the keyword "MAX" to find all MAX related announcements. At this time however, Win NT3.51 is the only announced OS platform. jonas[adesk]

Hi Jonas: At SIGGRAPH95 there was a patch modeler IPAS announced for 3DS r4. What is the expected ship date? It was mentioned at siggraph but I wonder if it is still on target? I have a project that would benefit greatly from its use. My deadline is middle of October. Also regarding this same issue, what is the special phone number I can call at ADESK to verify my status to receive this module? Ever since the database screwup at autodesk last summer (siggraph party invites loss) it has been suggested by others to reconfirm my registration records. Thanks, Don

Hi Don, << What is the expected ship date? >> They were announcing an expected ship date of sometime in October. << deadlines in the middle of October >> hmm..the timing seems a bit tight. <<..what is the special phone number I can call at ADESK to verify my status to receive this module? >> Autodesk's Main Customer Service number can verify your registration. I can post it here on Monday. jonas[adesk]
