  • Qwhat Format Should I Use for Importing Into 3D Studio
    Canoma Frequently Asked Questions v1.0 August 1, 1999 Robert Seidl Q What format should I use for importing into 3D Studio Max ? A VRML2, 3D Studio reads the geometry, textures and creates a separate camera object for each source image in Canoma. Q I resized some of my source images in a project *after* I'd started the project. (The book says you can do this if you don't change the aspect ratio which I didn't) It failed. The images, now 50% their original size, didn't fit anymore, displaced from the upper left corner. Whats going on ? A Dont* do that ! Canoma doesn’t like resizing of source images. At all. The comment in the manual refers to edited textures that you pass to a pixel editor like Photoshop with the Canoma "brush" tool. For example, you may get a relatively lores texture on some surface, but you want to put some text on there (uhm, bigger than a 3 pt font :-) So you do an Image Resize in Photoshop, making sure you do not change proportions. Then you can add type in -say- 20 point fonts. Save it and the texture comes back, in higher resolution. Source images cannot have their dimensions changed at all once you got started. Very sorry. The reason is that our 3dv files currently save pin & bead coordinates in pixel coordinates, and obviously those are all wrong once you change your source image dimensions. One solution we are considering for the future is to write out floating point 0..1 coordinates.

  • MINOLTA 3D 1500 the 3D 1500 from Minolta Enables the Common Usage of 3D Image Data, the Standard of Image Data Files for the Coming Age
    Easy to Capture, Create, and View. Portable, integrated 3D image capture & editing system* MINOLTA 3D 1500 The 3D 1500 from Minolta enables the common usage of 3D image data, the standard of image data files for the coming age. Due to the convenience with which users can move and view images as they please through simple mouse manipulation, 3D imagery has recently become widely used in many areas, including product presentations, video games, museum collection and other illustration databases, and, of course, in images used by businesses to promote their products on the Internet. Thanks to its great potential, 3D image data is regarded as the future mainstream of image data and expression. Until now, users had only two options when it came to producing photo-realistic 3D images: capture image data with laser scanners requiring extensive systems, or draw photo-realistic images manually. At the same time, there had been many obstacles which prevented 3D imagery from becoming popular. For example, equipment that's hard to carry and hard to set-up; time-consuming image production and memory-intensive data; too many limitations in setting up the environment to view the created 3D images. Minolta has solved problems in both hardware and software by integrating the innovative technology of MetaCreations, USA, and Intel, USA. Now there's no longer any "complicated hardware setup," "complicated software," or "complicated setup of downloading/viewing environments." The Minolta 3D 1500 is an integrated 3D image capture/viewing system that incorporates all key software and hardware components. With the Minolta 3D 1500, anyone can view 3D images without special software or equipment.
