This IPAS was running great until I upgraded to Release 4 of 3D Studio. All my other IPASs run fine, but attempting to load this one kicks me all the way out of 3D Studio, into the cold. Brrrrrrrrr! (or maybe I should say: Grrrrrrr!) I've written Schreiber twice, but no response yet. I just wanted to contact anyone else using Puppeteer to see if this was a universal problem, or if I was just (un)lucky. Regards, –Steve

Stephen, I have been running puppeteer in R4 for quite some time now. I believe you will need version 1.04 or later to be compatible with R4. Do you know what version you have? CT.

I'm working version 1.06 sent to me by Schreiber. I have re-installed twice but still get the same result. Running Puppeteer causes a horizonal band, grey in color, to run across the bottom of the screen. Then the top of the screen displays the following before kicking me out of 3D Studio: Abnormal program termination: Memory protection fault CS:EIP=000Fh:0017585Bh Invalid directory I have 20 Megs of ram so that's not the problem. And all my other IPAS routines run just dandy. I'm becoming very frustrated at not having a $400 software package run… to say nothing of the fact that it kicks me out of 3D Studio completely. Regards, –Steve

Chris, PMFJI, I have a case where the baby sitter is changing a diaper on a 3 month old laying on a changing table. A 9 month old child is directly behind her and is unstable on his feet. She reaches back to stabilize him and pulls the 3 months old off the changing table. The changing table has no rails to prevent this from happening. Will puppeteer help me perform the movements of the baby sitter? I've had R4 for a couple of weeks now and find it hard to make her move properly using IK. When she moves her left hand back to stabilize the 9mo old her hand moves very eratic (up and down) while reaching back. I have it following a object. Maybe you could shed some light on this for me. BTW, I'm uploading the forensic animator list today. Regard…………Rick – Technical Animations
