Kevin; I stand corrected. I didn't realizem that when you said that 3ds was saving a 4096x4096x24Bit file that it was the lastrend.img file that you were talking about. At any rate I was using the null display driver and rendering to disk and I has supplied a file name in the \3ds2\images subdirectory. I searched the whole disk, no GIF file was created. Yesterday I rendered the same file to disk at 2048×2048 in GIF format and it worked fine. The status line said mem=12832k swap=11308k and the resulting file was less than 100k. I would think that with 90Mb free disk space I could make this waork at 4k. Many thanx for all of your hellp Please excuse spelling, no line editing! Jon
