Jerry, I was leading towards your ideas until I tried recording Disk to VTR. When I tried this, the image was displayed to the targa card and recorded properly. After I tried rendering to tape, I plugged the output of the targa card into my NTSC monitor and I saw…
#EVO-9650 problems
Message #158048

Mark, Click on track info, then on the door. Copy the rotation keyframe at 0 (assuming there are no keyframes for the door between 0 and 49) to 49. This will keep the door in its original rotation until 49 and begin the rotation at 50. When the computer calculates…
Jeff, Try selecting the faces, and detaching them into an object. You now have two choices 1) make the mapping coordinates the size of the object, and use the tile settings to adjust how the image repeats along the x and y axes. TIP: instead of repeating this for every…
Rob, If you have access to a mac, and an internet account, there is a program that I think you should have. The name is terrainman, its shareware, and it distorts a 2D plane into a 3D mesh according to a grayscale image (kind of like a bump map). The…
