I have tried to run MAKETHEM without success: every time it send me the message: "usage: ..." but I'm using the right syntax. If you are using the version 1.1 of MAKETHEM or below, this may be a wrong message. You must check the following items: The first line in POVLAB.TEX tells MAKETHEM where the file POVLAB.INC is. Check if the path to this file is corrected (normally it should be "X:\POVLAB\TEXTURE\POVLAB.INC" where X is the drive you have installed POVLAB into.

Yes. There is a class ThreeDSParser which can read 3ds files. IIRC it returns dictionaries describing the scene, from which you should be able to build a Croquet object.

You can download from this site the lather generator from Klaus Lepschi. It generates files that POVLAB can import. Answer to both questions: Try to install your mouse driver as the last of your drivers (config.sys and autoexec.bat as well). This fix some troubles sometimes. Or try to find a real compatible Microsoft 9.0 or newer driver. Yes: you can enter the values in the "modify|manual" dialog. Also you can use Alt while scaling to have a more soft scaling.

Animations with this plugin don't work well with 3D Studio Viz, because sub-animation of objects is not allowed in this software. But we have found some work arounds in Planes Look 1.5: Using 'Auto Assign' camera. We didn't design this option to fix Viz, but as a secondary effect, this new feature seems to fix the problem. If the Planes object is animated (any controller: position, rotation or scale), in the range which camera moves... Planes Look is updated in that range too.

It's not difficult to load an animated 3d object in Direct3D RM. Using IDirect3DRMAnimationSet2 can easily load a pre-build animation into scene. You can now control the animation's playback by using the IDirect3DRMAnimationSet2::SetTime( ) inside the animation callback function. Some high-end 3D modeling/animation packages come with a DirectX exporter, for example, SoftImage3D. You can directly export your animation work to a .X file by using these exporters.

D Studio Max is a 3D modelling, rendering and animation package from the makers of AutoCAD, Autodesk, Inc. The software runs on the IBM/compatible platform under the Windows operating system. The 3D Studio Max software allows users to create three-dimensional, photo-realistic images for a variety of purposes.

In Forest Pack 1.5, we have improved compatibility under Viz 4 for network rendering mode. In previous versions, Forest had some problems to match animation if frames was not in sequence (common situation in network rendering). Now, this problem must be fixed under Viz 4. Anyway, in Viz 3 we suggest you send only complete sequences to slave machines (frames 1-1000 to slave 1, 1001-2000 to slave 2, etc.).

For .RAW it's simple: just click on "Objects|raw" and select the file you want to import. There's not support for .DXF files.

OpenGL, being a 3D graphics API, has no built-in support for reading application-specific file formats. If you're writing an application that needs to read a specific file type, you'll need to add code to support a particular file type. Many OpenGL users already have written code to do this, and in some cases, the code is available on the Web. A few are listed here. If you can't find what you are looking for, you might try doing a Web search.

Not directly, but you should be able to convert the AVS data to Matlab format if you write a script that does it for you. For an explanation of the AVS format, please consult the 2D/3D Tutorials.

You should build up a .TEX file with the same structure that POVLAB.TEX, and in the "General|Enviroment" dialog put the full path to this file as the .TEX file that POVLAB must use. This .TEX file must contain the name of each texture with the full path to YOUR GIF files (if the directory-ies- is-are- directly below the POVLAB directory, it isn't necessary to put the full path, but just what is below the POVLAB directory, i.e: "MINES\STONES\STONE1.GIF").

Yes, the game is fully 3D. You will be able to rotate the camera around the battlefield and zoom in or out as you wish. Your men can stand on top of castle walls or attack them with siege ladders, all in 3D.

Under Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP operating systems R-Studio will recover files from all physical and logical drives, which are visible by OS. Under Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME R-Studio will recover files from all logical drives visible by OS and from all physical drives, which are correctly accessible by Windows protected mode I/O subsystem.

On to any device that is accessable by your operating system. Files may also be recovered to network share specified by UNC path (such as \\myserver\myshare). You may select the recovery path from a standard Windows directory dialog or enter it manually. Please note, the file system of the drive, which is used for saving recovered files may limit recovery of NTFS files extended information (see Q6 for details).

No, Style Studio is intended for style sheets, HTML and XML documents only. You need a separate XSL editor in order to edit your HTML files.

The Plug-in for 3D Studio MAX offers a rendering function to achieve 3DD-images. The required nine views are generated and combined automatically. Still images as well as image sequences can be created. To use the plug-in, 3D scenes need no particular modification.

You can make your own 3D models using any package you desire, and then loading the geometry file. ModelMagic3D is shareware and comes with source code. GLScene is also available.

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...

No. While Visual Studio makes deploying "ClickOnce" applications simple, there are several other ways to deploy "ClickOnce" applications. The .NET Framework SDK includes a tool named MAGE(Manifest Editor & Generator) that provides both a UI (mageui...

Although serial to USB adaptors have reportedly worked, we cannot guarantee that the MicroScribe will communicate properly with the host machine using such an adaptor. For PC's: You have the option to upgrade your MicroScribe 3D to a MicroScribe G2 model, which is USB compatible. Check to make sure your software supports USB connection to the MicroScribe. Contact Immersion for more details. Yes, the MicroScribe G2 offers Mac compatibility.

For what I know at this time, it's a 3D file. It can be opened by any program managing this kind of file, like Anim8or (free software), to see to what the objects looks like. It is meant to be putted in "Models" directory, and the command you have to write into ssc files is placed under "Mesh" section.

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

In order to recover files on remote computers, the special service program R-Studio Agent should be installed on that computer. You may also use R-Studio Agent Emergency which boots from a single floppy and provides the same functions. These programs gives access to disks on remote computers therefore all network transfers are encrypted with strong crypto algorithms using a password supplied by the administrator. To access drives on a remote computer choose 'Connect to remote..

R-Studio may write to disk only from hex editor (with enabled write) or when it is explicitly directed to save files on this disk. Therefore, you should be very carefully using hex editor. In all other modes and actions, R-Studio performs a read-only and never modifies data on partitions and drives directly. Open partition, which contains your files or explore all of them if you are not sure about choice of correct partition.

To view the rendered XAML file, be sure you've installed the .NET 3.0 Runtime Components and then use Internet Explorer to open the file, OR use WordPad to view the raw XAML code.

No. 3D Java is a completely different program that the previous versions. An upgrade price of $489.99 from 3D to 3D Java is available through Creative Solutions (serial number required).

Nope. We sample our animations and reconstruct b-splines from the sampled data, which means that your animators can use whatever techniques they want to produce the motions. IK, look-at targets, path constraints, dynamics.

Because 3D Studio is plug-in based, there is no way Granny can export all types of animations and models. However, Granny does handle a wide variety of scenes, including those made with Skin, Physique, and Bones Pro.

Not yet. Be sure to e-mail us if you're using a package other than these and would like to use Granny for your game.
