#missing alpha channels
4 messages in this thread
Folks,
I've got a couple of questions that I would like to put in the 3D Studio
Newsletter (I'm still waiting for Autodesk to get back to me on its approval).
1) For a simple animation setup with 2 or 3 486s, what are the best choices for
a cost-effective network targeted specifically for 3DS?
2) I'm writing a review of the Matrox Illuminator Pro. Do you have any pros or
cons? When used with 3DS, what is the optimal configuration, ie. 2 monitors
with one that is NTSC, etc. What software products work well with the board?
Anyone having experience with the board will be helpful.
Thanks.

I have used the Matrox Illuminator boards since 3DS r1 (Ill-16 then Pro) I have
a lot of experience with them.
1. 2 Monitors is a must.
2. On the NTSC, you should monitor the YC as well as RGB outputs.
There are also some timimg tricks when recording to a PVW-2800.
(Use 2FD framing, use the composite out as ref sync, YC as Video)
Love the board, lots of fun to play with.

1) Lantastic 5.0works decent for a 2-3 machine set-up, but is probably not
really robust enough for over 5 machines.
