  • Elektra was Greek... I, for one, would love to see the Hand in DD2...
  • Hmmm... US$1,599.00 (LightWave v7.5)vs. US$1,999.00 (Maya Complete v3.5.1)... I think this falls into the catagory of a 'no-brainer'... Maya for me, please...! Now if we could have a cross-grade prono special; say, buy Maya at the full U…
  • [quote]Originally posted by M3D Jack: I have an NFR copy. As for Final Cut eating into Media100 and Avid's marketshares... I don't think that is entirely true. Final Cut Pro has allowed people to set up a handful of suites for the cost of one Av…
  • 3D Toolkit from DV Garage is a cheap way to get into ElectricImage Universe, which has the fastest/best looking renderer out of the box, bar none... Maya PLE (Personal Learning Edition) is FREE, but there are watermarks everywhere... Blender w…
  • Look again folks... The only thing in that thread from Feb. 2001 is the date that the poster (an editor of the site) first joined the forum... The actual date of the post is lower down, in the bottom left side of the individual post... 3 - …
  • Apple needs to purchase Alias|wavefront, and drop the price on Maya... Then Steve Jobs needs to work out a deal with himself, and position PRRenderMan as the default renderer for Maya... That would be awesome! Now if Apple & nVidia coul…
  • Depends on how long you can wait... Commotion is great if you are matching live action with CGI... After Effects Production Bundle is a standard for some folks... Final Cut Pro does some compositing, and runs most After Effects plug-ins... …
  • Uhh... BUMP! Come on Leonis, put up some new screenshots!!! Show us Maya in all of it's glory! (Now if I can just get in on an Academic Program deal...) Cheers! ;^p
  • Leonis, Come on, give us a better screenshot than that, would ya!?! Default rendering sucks on any platform... Are you running on a G4? Or a G3? (I ask, because I see the 'old-school' Apple CRT sitting there on your desk...)
  • Speaking as an 'old-school' ElectricImage user, and as one who went to Siggraph in 1998 (while EI was under the corporate control of Play Inc.) and meet good ol' Kiki Stockenhammer (sp?) while at the users meeting in one of the hotels there (Play co…
  • I cannot see the picture...!?! For that matter, ALL the graphics on the AI Forums are not loading for me... Help! Someone host/post the pic somewhere else, and put a link in this thread, please...!
  • It's Dorsal, trying to support his smack habit!
  • One glaring problem with these units, as opposed to rackmounts from Apple itself... These are current G4 machines stripped out of the El Capitan chassis, and stuffed into a rackmount chassis... Hey! Why am I paying for PCI slots that I CANNOT …
  • [quote]Oh jeez. Next we're going to have "Apple.com Store is Down!" threads that turn out to be some guy's modem got unplugged. Uh... Is this like the chicken & the egg thing?!? How could said person post such a thread, if their modem is n…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Bigc: You left out the 35-lb battery for 3-hours of use. Uh, did you miss the part where I said that the power portion of the ADC connector would ONLY work if the laptop were plugged into the wall...?!? Obvio…
  • What do I expect from the next PowerBook...? I want a 1GHz G4 CPU, no exceptions... I want a faster system bus (Intel laptops are running at 400MHz now, and we are stuck at 133MHz, in both laptops AND desktops!)... I want more RAM, 2GB DDR …
  • Intel was looking to pick up Raycer... From what I heard, Discreet wanted to move part of the Combustion team, and the rest were cut... Haven't heard anything about Apple hiring the cuts though... Would be interesting if it were true...! …
  • Some of the things I have heard... Apple wasn't really looking to purchase a compositing application at the time, but Nothing Real was shopping their company around... So Apple snatched it up, and now they are trying to figure out exactly what to…
