#3ds3 – 3d Editor problem
2 messages in this thread
I have been using 3dS r.3 for about two years. Just recently, my main video
board went down, so I am forced to build using a Diamond Speedstar 64 for a
couple of weeks. First I used the RCPADI drivers supplied by Diamond, then I
tried the new Vibrant drivers supporting the cirrus 543x. While in 3d Editor,
using either video driver, when I am working with any 3d Mesh(freshly created
or imported) the 3d mesh will usually distort out to a point in space creating
vertices with hundreds of lines or polygons. This usually takes place after I
have zoomed extents or have done a redraw all, sometimes it has even happened
in Keyframer. This becomes permenant and I must start over or reload from a
previous save. What is going on…? Will this happen when I get my repaired
card back and switch to the Autodesk supported Vibrant drivers?
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, how can I get hardcopy info on new 3d studio stuff, ie. R4, MAX, modules,
etc. Is there an infofax #?

Greg,
Usually the vertices shooting off into space is a virus-related problem.
Check the computer for any such beasts, and reload from the original disks. If
it still occurs, time to involve your dealer, maybe get a new set of disks.
Any of the dealers in the Orange/L.A. County areas should be able to give you
info, specs on R4, MAX, etc. The Autodesk referral line is 800/879-4233.
