3D-Studio max or another object program?

hello
i am new to j3d and want to start making objects. I found one game that looked good used 3ds max to make the objects. but its a very expensive program. does anyone use it and recommend it? anyone use any other program that works well? i want to create buildings and characters for a 3D game.
Does anyone just do it by hand inside j3d?
i also noticed that 3ds max does animation.. i know you can import the objects in, but can you import animation as well? does anyone do this ?
if you cant import animation, then all i need is a program to draw the objects in then import them into j3d, right? i guess it would be up to me then to animate them. is this the normal way you guys write your objects?

Hi ive been working on a small game for a
few weeks now and im using
milkshape 3d for my modeling its very cheap
and you can use it for 30 days free.
http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/
im using a loader to import the models from the .ms3d
format you can get it here
http://home.earthlink.net/~kduling/Milkshape/
if you pester him enough he may release the next version
that lets you use animations.
Ive made animated characters etc, it just takes more coding on your part.
hope you find this useful

Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

To load a object created with 3D Studio Max

Hello,
I am a new Java user. I have to realize an interactive presentation in Java of a three-dimensional object created with 3D Studio Max. I would like to know how I can load this object in my java project.
I should, in fact, allow the customer to modify the color of the object and to rotate it.
Many thanks
Massimo

Well, my first reccomendation is to look into Java 3D. I don't know anything about it myself, but it's the obvious place to look.

How to call a dialog program with return value in another dialog program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
You can you SET/GET parameters to do this.
This is some information about this.
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETERstatements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement saves the contents of field f under the ID pid in the SAP memory. The ID pid can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under pid, this statement overwrites it. If you double-click pid in the ABAP Editor, parameters that do not exist can be created as a Repository object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID pid FIELD f.
This statement places the value stored under the pid ID into the variable f. If the system does not find any value for pid in the SAP memory, sy-subrc is set to 4. Otherwise, it sets the value to 0.
Thanks,
SriRatna

How can i send a MESSAGE from an object to another object?

i've following code:
class Receiver {
     private String str = "Your message is recieved to me.";
     String sendBack() {
          return str;
class Sender {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Receiver r = new Receiver();
          System.out.println(r.sendBack());
}I'm confused with the concept of MESSAGE in java. All i gather about it is that when two objects want to communicate with each other they send messages to each other. One object is sender of message and other is its receiver.
Here reciever object 'r' itself performs its method and does not communicate with any other object. How do i change this code into where two objects communicate with each other?

Well the OO theory says that objects comunicate via messages, now that information must be taken as knowledge only, not for programming issues really. What you need to know is that when you need to pass any data from onw object to another you can send them via parameters of defined methods.
For example you have an Object called R of a receiver class and that object needs to pass a String (text message) to another object. you can do it via a method.

[ORA-22905] How to read a field of an object inside another object?

Greetings,
I'm a student and in a current exercise we have to work with the Object Oriented Programming functionality of Oracle.
In the database we defined an object type, which is then considered inside another object type. The thing is, that I cannot read an attribute of the inner object. I've read tens of websites but none of them have helped so far. I've read the PL/SQL User Guide and Reference document also.
The inner object is defined as follows:
create type address_t as object (
        street varchar(50),
        city varchar(50),
        pcode number(5,0)
        );The outer object has an object of type address_t inside it:
CREATE TYPE professor_t as OBJECT(
          code number(2),
          p_name varchar(50),
          address address_t,
          );Also, there is a table named PROFESSORS that stores objects of type professor_t
First of all, with a simple testing SQL statement I can see the data inside the object professor, even the object address_t:
SELECT * FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;returns the following:
CODE    |         NAME      |       ADDRESS
13      |         JOHN     |       MYSCHEMA.ADDRESS_T('FIFTH AVENUE','NEW YORK',12345)The thing is, I want to read the field street of the object address (of type address_t) inside professor (of type professor_t).
I could see everywhere that the way to go is to use point notation, and I've seen examples about the command VALUE, but none of the following SQL statements work:
SELECT VALUE(ADDRESS.STREET) FROM(
SELECT CODE,P_NAME,ADDRESS FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13);
SELECT ADDRESS.STREET FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;
SELECT PROFESSOR.ADDRESS.STREET FROM PROFESSORS WHERE CODE = 13;I'd really appreciate if someone could show me how to access the values of the field of the object inside an object.
Thanks in advance,
- David

Great, this worked so far.
It is curious that you wrote 'profesores' but that is the actual name for the variable. I translated everything to english in order to post it here.
So, the statement is:
select value(t).DIRECCION.CIUDAD from profesores t;And It returned:
VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CIUDAD
Valencia
New York
TijuanaAnd, applying the VALUE command to the statement:
select codigo,
nombre,
value(t).DIRECCION.CALLE,
value(t).DIRECCION.CIUDAD,
value(t).DIRECCION.CP
from profesores T WHERE T.CODIGO = 13;Resulting in:
CODIGO                 NOMBRE                                             VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CALLE                           VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CIUDAD                          VALUE(T).DIRECCION.CP
13                     Pepito Pérez                                       Calle de los Rosales 0                           Valencia                                           46023                  That is EXACTLY what I needed.
Thanks Thomas, It was really helpful !

3D Studio Max 8+ on OSX?

First off, if this is in the wrong place please move it.
I wish to get Autodesks 3D Studio Max 8 or higher running on the OSX. Does anyone here know of a way to accomplish this?
I have tried Crossover Mac (WINE) to do this but the installer prematurely ends with a warning saying it couldn't run the .msi file (to my knowledge).
Parallels Desktop, although it fully emulates Windows onto a virtual machine it doesn't support 3D applications so that is out of the question.
Does anyone here know of another wine or emulation type application that will enable me to run this great application on this fantastic new MacBook Pro?
Thank in advance.

How to compile and run a .java file from another java program

hello,
can any one tell me how to compile and run a *.java* file from another java program which is not in same directory?

Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
How do i do that ??
Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jcomp/index.html

Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
Hope that might help :)

How to install Autocad programmes? Like 3d studio max? WINDOWS IN MAC? HOW?

Hello,
I am planning to buy Macbook Pro with 8GB and i5 processor for architectural purposes to run programmes smoothly like Autocad and 3d Studio max for rendering plus other graphic programmes from Adobe.
1. What should i include in my package of Macbook Pro to install and run these programmes without doubts and problems, not to waste my money? Maybe instead of Mac i should go for proper Microsoft Windows PC like DELL. But i would prefer Mac anyway.
2. I have heard about Bootcamp? I don't know what is it? Is it supplied with Macbook Pro package? Where can i get it from?
I have also read that to run these programmes i should install Windows on Mac, but the thing is i want to run away from any Windows as Im not happy with this system. This is why I am considering Mac system, which does not freeze on first instance. Where do i get windows on mac? In mac shop? No idea what to do.
3. If i succeed installing 3ds max and Autocad and Adobe, do i run them on mac or windows system, when using daily?
4. I am scared to buy Mac as I am not sure if these programmes work correctly.
5. Please give me some instructions what to do after buying Macbook Pro in terms of preapring my computer for rendering and drawing in cad programmes.
6. Which mac system shall i choose?
I would be grateful to each of you a professionalist or any man, whose knowledge is at high level and competency. I really need your help. PLEASE HELP!!!

Number 1 do you need a laptop? 3DS Max likes beefy hardware and especially high end graphics cards like Nividia’s Quadro series. These card are difficult and expensive to get on a laptop.
I run 3DS Max on my MacBook Pro and also on a more beefy Windows machine with Quadro card at home.
When scenes get complex and big the MacBook pro struggles to manipulate and rotate objects on screen, as it does not have the hardware.
If you do get a MacBook Pro don’t forget you will need a 3 button mouse, not the Apple one as you know there are functions you need to do in Max that require you to press more than one mouse button at a time an Apple mouse will not do that.

Trouble running 3D Studio Max

I recently put Bootcamp and Windows 7 on my iMac and I installed 3D Studio Max 2010 -- its the only program I want to use on Windows. The magic mouse does work basically under Windows but it won't scroll and so I can't zoom in Max and also the delete key on the little silver keyboard won't work so I have to go up under the edit menu -- on an extended keyboard its the 2nd delete key which is off to the right that works. I read that a new edition of Bootcamp will come out and solve the zoom/scroll problem -- but meanwhile I am being driven crazy. Can anybody please help this Macgirl -- I wouldn't have gone anywhere near Windows if it wasn't for Max:-)
Thanks so much.

My advice, buy a "real" mouse
I traded in Apple mouse (and then keyboard) ages ago. I wear out keyboards, and once I used a 5-button, there was no going 'back.'

Selecting an object behind another object

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this. I am trying to place a rectangle behind a text box to make a bit of the text more visible. In other programs there is often a modifier key to select an object that lies behind another object. Does anyone know how to do this in iWeb 09?
Kim

Have you tried adding background fill color to the text box with the Inspector/Text/Text pane?

That way there's no shape to have to align with.

Re : select-options in abap-objects program

Dear friends,
                  I want to give select-options in abap-objects program. How to give that.
                             Thanking You
with regards,
Mani

In the transaction SE24, enter your class name, click modify.
in the tab named "Types" you have to declare two types. By example, if you want to receive one select-options that in your program that uses this class is declared like:
" P_SAKNR FOR SKAT-SAKNR".
you've got to declare two types in the class:
a- TYPES: begin of E_S_SAKNR,
                      sign(1),
                      option(2),
                      low(10),
                      high(10),
                  end of E_S_SAKNR.
b - TYPES E_T_SAKNR type standard table of E_S_SAKNR.
so, in the class method that you want to receive P_SAKNR as importing parameter. You got to do this:
method TEST importing ET_SAKNR type E_T_SAKNR.
now, in the implementation of this method you should be able to use ET_SAKNR as the same way as you usually use a parameter or a select-option. You could use it in a select with the operator IN by example..

How to call a Dialog Program from another Dialog Program

Dear All,
How can I call a dialog program with return value from another dialog program?
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Alok,
1. Insted of creating 2 different Dialog program. It's good to create as many screens as you want in same module pool program. Any way you can use the different TCODE for each screen.
2. Another and The best way is to create a function group and then inside function group use the function 2 module... In the function group define a global variable which will be present for both the function group if they are getting executed in sequence. and inside the Function Module call the screens using command " call screen <screenno>".
3. You can use set / get parameter to pass values of a field between two dynpro program.

How to use another java program to stop this running prpgram???

Dear Sir:
I have following code and I run it success,
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.*;
public class CertainAndRepeatTime{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{

    Timer timer = new Timer();
    ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
          System.out.println("Hello World Timer");
    System.out.println("What do you want (Certain time or Repeat time)?");
    System.out.print("Please enter \'C\' or \'R\' for that: ");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String ans = in.readLine();
    System.out.print("Please enter ans=" + ans + " IsTrue= " + (ans.equals("R") || ans.equals("r")) +"\n");
    if (ans.equals("C") || ans.equals("c")){
      //System.out.println("This line is printed only once start...");
      timer.schedule(new TimerTask(){

      System.exit(0);
    System.exit(0);
}But I hope to use another java program to stop it when it is running instead of pressing CRTL + C to stop it.
How to do it??
Any example??
Thanks a lot!!

Sorry, I think i did not express cearly. It is my fault.
I re-write my requirements again:
I have
Class AAA1.java,
Class AAA2.java,
Class AAA3.java,
Class AAA20.java...
etc
they all look like the program I posted first time,, once executed, they will run for ever, and they will be stopped until I press CRTL + C;
Now I hope to use another java class StopProgram.java to stop them 1 by 1 or at once instead of pressing CRTL + C;
In this case, how to code this StopProgram.java ??
Thanks
