4014.1 | Sound problem | CRISTA::LEIMBERGER | I have my marbles now I want yours | Wed Aug 15 1990 10:14 | 11 |
| I tried to play some sound file from the data file that come
with TAS. I tried them using Prosound 3.0 . Now their are two
type of files for each sound
1)soundname.inst
2)soundname.ss
This program supports Smus files and I have to admit that I know
very little about sound on the Amiga. I also tried to use Dvideo III
to play them no luck. Will I be able to use Prosound with The
Animation studio??

After a second phone call (Disney never returned the first), Bill
got the okay to distribute the demo disk. I've uploaded it to
CRISTA""::AMIGA: and TAPE""::USER2:[UPLOAD] as;
DEMO-REEL.LZH;1 1195

The B&W-Donald and Donald files are the monocrome and color cartoon
"Strike Any Key To Continue". The mono version will run on a 512K
machine, but it does load the whole thing into memory. I've only run
the color version on a 3 meg machine, but it's nearly 1/2 a meg...
The Sound-Demo won't run; it comes up with a requestor for volume
"Studio" (looking for something called "Studio:Flicker"), but I left it
in there anyways, just to make the disk complete. Other than that,
nothing special is needed; just unbundle the archive and double click
on the icons.

4014.3 | Thanks Peter | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Fri Aug 17 1990 06:39 | 19 |

Thanks for the upload Peter!
re -1 .
I only called once. Disney got back to me the next day. I told
Peter that they had not returned my call(the day i called),and then
told him I would call again. Actually they got ahold of me late
the next day(early for them). I think the time frame had something
to do with it. The rep was very pleasent,and glad to hear from users.
On the first day the person I talked to just answered the phones.
So response was good given a chain of command,time zone etc.
I called just to verify that it was ok to distribute the demo
because of Disney's reputation in regards to protecting their copy
rights. In this case I felt it better to play safe. While my artistic
abilities are lacking, I plan to import an animation of an auto
engine into TAS to add sound,and take advantage of the dithering
capabilities of the package. The original work on the animation
was done using JX100 scanner,The Art department, and Dpaint III.
Now I will try using TAS to add polish to it.

| Can anybody give me directions to a conference that might go more
into computer animations? Also could someone please give me an address of
the cheapest place to buy the Animation Studio? I have only seen it for
�99, but i`m sure it will be cheaper somewhere else.
Ian.

There are limited discussions of computer animation in NODEMO::ANIMATION
and QUEEN::GRAPHICS.
