CONFIGURING 3D STUDIO RELEASE 1.X AND 2.X
Configuring 3D Studio requires the following steps:
1. Set the environment variables for 3D Studio by running the PANA3DS.BAT file
located in your TurboDLD
Classic subdirectory.
2. Edit the 3DS.SET file, located in your 3DS directory. The following three lines may
be changed to use the RCPADI rendering driver. Locate the lines that begin with:
RENDER-DISPLAY
MAIN-DISPLAY
MATERIAL-DISPLAY
and change them to read
RENDER-DISPLAY=RCPADI
MAIN-DISPLAY=RCPADI
MATERIAL-DISPLAY=RCPADI
Make sure to remove the ";" or any spaces that may be present at the beginning of
the line.
You must set only the RENDER-DISPLAY line to RCPADI in order to render at high
resolution. If you do not need a high resolution main display screen or if you are not
using the materials editor, you may keep MAIN-DISPLAY and MATERIAL-
DISPLAY set to their defaults.
Note:
For 3D Studio 1.x, there is no RENDER-DISPLAY line. The corresponding
line is DEFAULT-DISPLAY and should be changed to read:
DEFAULT-DISPLAY="RCPADI"
The quotes around RCPADI must be used for this version of 3D Studio.
The MATERIAL-DISPLAY should only be configured for RCPADI when BOTH the
Display AND Rendering Resolutions of TurboDLD
Classic are configured for 256
color resolutions. An unpredictable Materials Editor screen appears if anything other
than 256 colors is selected. If you are unsure about the function of the Materials
Editor screen, use the Materials Editor as VGA. Please note that the use of the
Materials Editor does not give you any more colors to choose from.
3. Save the above changes.
4. From your 3D Studio directory, delete the file 3DADI.CFG by typing:
DEL 3DADI.CFG[Enter]
