Chris,
You are experiencing some Targa+ problems due to operator error
(well, mostly).
Use either Autodesk's RDPADI RDPTARGP.EXP to render to the Targa+ with 3D
Studio, or the RCPADI Truevision supplied on your Targa+ disks (if not on
your disks, get it from your dealer).
The Animator Pro driver Autodesk supplied is ok for FLITAPE, but I wouldn't
use it for rendering.
When using Truevision's .DRV for Animator Pro (in which Animator Pro
actually runs ON the Targa+), it throws the Targa+ into an 8-bit color mode
(just like VGA, huh?), but does not reset on exit. Execute TMODE to reset
to a mode that TIPS+ and other applications will like. I usually set TMODE
to 640×480 for Animator Pro, then do a TMODE 11 (512x486x32-bit) when done.
