Dave I got the missing objects to show. I do have Liquid Speed installed along with a MARS mpeg card. The MARS card isnt working at all, I think that the MARS card is the source of the problem. 3D Studio works fine without the MARS card. Its getting to the point where I am sorry I ever bought 3D Studio and the MARS card, they both have been more trouble then their worth. Imagine 3.0 by Impulse never gave me the headache this expensive soft/hardware has. Well enough of me blowing off cyber steam, thaks for responding to my problem. Hopefully I can get my sytem running and you can check out some of my work. I look aroud to see what kind of stuff you've uploaded. Thanks agian. Joe LoMoglio

Well Joe, don't get too discouraged. Once you've got everything up and running I think you'll be very happy. I can't tell you anything about the MARS card but I have seen one in action and it seemed to work quite well. As far as 3DS goes, why has it been a problem? Don't recall if you ever mentioned that. How are things anyway? DM

Dave Well aftering installing 3ds and liquidspeed I noticed that in the 3d editor I could load objects, only they were not visable, I tried everything I could think of and still no objects, well after many painful hours we found that the mars card and liquidspeed were conflicting due to the system I was running on. An Acer Pentium 90, home pc w/ 24mb ram and 2 HD's 1.2gb and 800mb. I gave up on this system and I buying a cad power station, with dual 90MHz pentium chips a 2.4GB HD, 17" color svga monitor 2- duble speed cd roms 2- 1.44 3.5 floppys, 28.8 modem, diamond staealth 64 w/4mb ram video accelarator, moviemachine video capture board a full blown adobe editing package, 32mb on board ram, sb pro 16 sound system, windows NT, windows 3.2, dos 6.2, 3d studio 4.0, Imagine 3.0, facade 2.6 and autocad 12. This is what i call playing with power, I let you know if I get this set up. I am planning on doing 3d walkthrus for our clients. I work for skeen custom homes and I have my own venture called Virtual Concepts, I will have full video/rendering/animation capabilitys once i am on line. So what is your involvment w/ 3ds? well I have proably draged you through enough of my this and that, but i enjoy having someone to chit chat with. talk to you later, got to get back to work. Joe
