Running 3D studio R4 under Window 95
Jiping Lu
Dear fellows,
I would like to know if 3D studio R4 can run under window 95.
If it can, how much change and what change should be made?

3DS4 cannot be run in a DOS window within windows 95, but it can be
set up as a shortcut with all the autoexec.bat and config.sys
parameters built in for a drop to DOS MODE to run 3DS4. I've never
had any problems.

Can 3DS4 be run on the version of DOS that comes with 95...?
-or- must you re-format and reinstall DOS and run a dual boot with 95?

object of having windows.
It is possible to run under win95 you have to add the line
DEVICE=pharlap.386 to the 386enhanced section of the win.ini file in the widows
directory and then copy the file pharlap.386 from the 3dstudio directory to the
windows directory. Now 3ds will run but for best results run the 3dshell
program as this in someway enhances the memory control.

Yeah It can be runed under version of DOS that comes with win 95 but I
had problems Runing it on both of my computers... Pentium Pro 200 X 2
and Pentium Pro 200. All you have to do is reboot couple times and make
an icon for 3ds4 on your desktop in windows.
Also You can run 3ds4 under Windows NT not quiting it like in Windows
95. There is a special file on www.autodesk.com.

This only works on NT 3.x, though...

It runs fine for me on a P166 w/32mgs RAM, although I don't do anything
that big.

It is most definatly possible. I do it on my P-100 with my crappy VGA
monitor. The only think I'd suggest doing is make a shortcut then
lower your the Idle sensitivity in the properties/misc portion of it.

dear fellow artists !
i'm running 3DS.exe R4 under Win NT by typing " cfig386 3DS.EXE
-realbreak 0" ; somehow one day it took the wrong switch and since
then, it refuses to run, answering me : "Missing value for REALBREAK
switch " though when i type cfig386 3DS , it shows that it has "
-realbreak 0 " .
I'm on the verge of depression, can any helpful soul lend a hand, please
???
Thanks a million !!
Ben Taylor
Yeah... I do it on a P120 with 16Mb RAM, I has problems when doing VERY
complex meshes with shaddow maps, but more RAM would fix this I think.

Hi I have found that if I try to use 3ds4 under Win95 it does not work
thats all I have to say.

Why would you want to run 3DS in Win95?? It it not better to run it in
DOS?
I've heard that you loose your Multi-Tasking abblities if you do set it up
in Win, and that your renders are slowed down.
Is this true?

Ahem.. I once managed to run R4 under NT 3.51.
You had to load the pharlap driver though, i think..
Anyway, it was so slow as hell, run it under good
old dos man. If you want the multitasking benefit,
either run it under Novell Dos 7, or get MAX...
Not sure this is much help

I forgot to say that I have a P100, 16Meg RAM.
I changed my settings to have it run in Win95, It says that I have about
1,000 more memory while in windows. But when I render objects, would it
not be slower while in windows? Or should I just keep it in DOS?
Thanks

To run 3D Studio (versions 3 or 4) in Windows (3.11 or 95),
you need to copy the file PHARLAP.386 (it's in your 3DS
directory) to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and add the
following line to your SYSTEM.INI file, under the [386Enh]
section:
DEVICE=PHARLAP.386
You should not run 3DS from the command prompt.
Instead, create a shortcut to 3DS and edit its memory settings: disable EMS
memory and put a large number in the DPMI memory (I use 35000 - it doesn't
matter if the value is larger than your RAM.) If you get a message from 3DS
saying it lacks memory (especially, when it renders), increase this number.
Also, in the "Misc" tab from the shortcut props, disable the screen saver
and put the idle sensitivity bar in its minimum.
I've made some tests, and the rendering actually become FASTER in Windows
than in DOS! However, if you are using other display drivers than standard
SVGA in 3DS, switching between 3DS and other programs (using ALT+TAB) can be
a bit unstable. You've been warned! :-)
