There are utilities (I don't know who makes them…) that will convert TGA files to digital files… which you can put on the exabyte tapes. To do this (until a driver from someone comes out for 3DS) you of course have to render each TGA file, convert it, copy it to the exabyte tape, then erase the stuff off of your hard disk… not pretty, but possible. You can take this to a digital video lab and have your animations mastered for about $500 per minute of animation… GREAT results, however. It has been requested that a driver for this purpose be written, but I don't what is going on… if you want to add it to the wishlist, post a message to Gary Yost. While you're at it, add me to the list of requesters <g>.
