I was wondering if there is any way to render an image and/or flic using 256 colors out of 8, or 16, or 64 shades of RED, of GREEN, and of BLUE, instead of 256 shades of each. Another words, if I were to use 8 shades of each linearly; so from the 256 shades of RED, we would use shades 0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256 or something like that. Would I need to do something in Animator Pro first, then use a custom palette from there to 3D Studio (R2)? I do not know if the question is clear enough. Any help appriciated. Thanks, Mike C.
