what is the best computer for designin 3d.
Im about to go for a mac but still dont know.

Answer
3d... I would go with a PC and Windows. Pick your programs and devices first and you will see that there is much more for the PC.

But BIGGER is BETTER. I would be getting a desktop with one or two really BIG LCD monitors.

But if you MUST, then get the largest screen laptop that is available. A nice HP would do the trick.

HP Pavilion dv7-1137us NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T5800(2.00GHz) 17.0" Wide XGA+ 4GB Memory 250GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500MHD - $849.99

Then, for rapid prototyping, I would get a 3d scanner, like this one.

Which scanner for film and scanography ?

Harry L

I need a scanner that can do 35mm film and slides, and also larger medium format film. i want to try and do some scanography so i need the scanner to have a depth of Field larger that 1 inch like most scanners ... oh and a 3d mode would be useful too.
i don't have a huge budget so i was thinking about £100 -£300
and i need the software to work for mac.

thanks :)

Answer
The epson V700 does 35mm (slide and negative) and also does medium format. It was just out of your price range when I bought it (so by now it's probably cheaper). Comes with software for pc or mac. Don't know about your other questions.

what is best apple mac or windows vista?

hi, i am thinking about getting a new laptop and i am stuck between vista and mac i only have about 600-700 pounds to spend baring in mined that i will be using it for internet and gaming mostly. can anyone help me

Answer
First - you can't find an Apple really at that price. I mean, a low end MacBook - maybe?
Second - it depends.
You have to decide what YOU want best.
Leopard and Vista both have bugs that both companies need to work out - I have used both. Leopard caused me more problems at start - tried it when it came out. I chose to go with Vista when SP1 came out because that's usually when MS starts getting the really bad things done.
Anyhow... some Pros and Cons
Mac - If you aren't really computer-savvy Macs are great. Their interface is designed to be pretty simple and stuff. They have some neat little graphical features but so does Vista now. In terms of design - the differences aren't enough to scream about.
Some of the programs offered with Mac people swear by - iPhoto, and that kind of stuff. But Windows has an equivalent for everything.
Vista - It is still a great interface and now kind of similar to Mac (I won't lie they got some influence from Mac) and in my opinion is easier to control stuff. I like being able to scan my computer and defragment my hard drive to create more room. If you know what this is - you probably want Vista.
Don't be fooled by the "Windows gets viruses and Macs don't." While it is unlikely that a Mac will get a virus - they DO get them and it is happened more often. A friend of ours got a Trojan that prevented him from doing ANYTHING on the internet (auto sent him to a different site) and because he didn't have a virus scanner or anything like that he had to completely wipe the hard drive. I like that Windows has stuff available for me to prevent that - while Mac just says they don't get viruses and tries to avoid a problem that is biting at their tails.
The other things is A LOT of programs do not run on Macintosh - meaning games, 3D modeling stuff - and what not. What you should do is check the applications you want to run and make sure they are available on the operating system you want.
People are die hard Windows and die hard Mac fans - there is a lot of animosity between the two communities out there. Don't judge on people's angry views - I mean I can be a bit angry.
Mac and Vista both have their ups and downs. Mostly these factors should help you decide:
-What programs you want to run and if they are available on the OS you choose?
-What design you like better? If you are used to XP, Leopard will be a big jump for you.
-What does the computer you are looking at run? What computer is in your price range? A Mac might not be best because you can get faster/bigger HD in a laptop running Vista. This is really up to you.

Don't judge on the stupid Mac commericials or the pointless Microsoft commercials (I hate both of them.) Just go with what you like the best.

By the way - games on Mac don't come out very often. Usually a year or more after the PC version.

What is good about Mac Book Pro ?

Fangerz

I am thinking of getting a new laptop this summer. But ihave twofriends who has an Acer and an Hp pavillion. They seem to enjoy their laptops. I was thinking to buy the new Hp Pavillion because it seems cool with the fingerprint scanner, built in camera etc. But i was fascinated about the MacBook Pro because they seem easier touse. Can anyone help choose?

These are some of my questions:

a) can MS word or any word processorworkon mac?ormac has its own?
b) can ragnarok,call of duty, or any rpg game work on mac?
c) can mac's battery life last long?
d) are mac's faster than windows?
e) are there driver for the mac?forexample you just got a new printer and you have to install the drive?
f) are mac's good for gaming? i know there not much games for mac but are there gameswich can run smoothly in mac
e) does mac have a goodsound system?

Answer
here's your answer. you can get a fingerprint scanner for the Mac. it's made by Sony. MacBook Pro's have built in camera's, really tiny ones. they DEFINITELY are easier to use.
A)MS Word has a special version just for Mac that you can get from www.Mactopia.com (official MS site)
B)A LOT of games are available for the Mac because they have superior frame rates and graphics. More are surely on their way.
C)A Pro's battery charged fully will give you about three hours of life between charges more or less.
D)they now average at about the same speed since they use the same processors, but Mac's have a different OS which is easier for the processor to run. So in some cases, Macs come out on top in speed.
E)Mac has almost every driver you'll ever need automatically built into the system. Just plug your printer in and it should work. If not, download the Mac driver from the printer's site.
F)I answered this.
E)MacBook's Pro soundsystem is excellent. You can also download a free program called OSS 3D which amplifies this incredible sound system even more. Furthermore, you can hook up external speakers to your Mac. check out www.MacHowDoI.com for more info!

There are unknown computers connected to my network, how do I delete them?

3d scanner for mac image

.

I get this message when I try to connect to the internet and my PC won't connect. What can I do to solve this problem. The Status is Unknown, the IP address is 192.168.100.1 the name is unknown ---- the MAC address is 00:15:9a:de:54:3d

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this annoying problem? Please!!!

Answer
Install a firewall. Windows XP comes with a personal firewall, just go to the Administrator --> Services ---> Windows Firefall, and start it.

Also tools.google.com Google tool pack comes with security features . Also if your wireless router is not secured that is the root cause they are able to connect your desktop.


Step 1. Secure your network.
Step 2. Enable your firewall on your desktop.
Step 3. Download and install google pack which has spy ware cleaner and virus scanner.

Step 4. Get credit monitoring and verify you dont have personal information stored on your computer, because now someone will steal your identity.
