<<what resolution and color deepth>> This really depends on your output device. Most poster size or display size renderings wind up being rendered at around 2Kx2K or 4Kx4K. Of course, this might change if your output device has specific requirements. And yes, always 24 bit color. << or do I have to load and use DSPADI RDPADI & RCPADI drivers to have the file 24bit. >> No, you don't need to load the drivers, in fact many of the drivers restrict the maximum resolution possible to that which is capable of being displayed. When rendering to high resolutions like 4Kx4K you will set up your rendering display for a NULL driver and render to a file. <<The same client wants specific colors in the above rendering Is there a convertion from Pantone to RGB values… in the materials editor >>> There is a conversion (somewhere) from RGB values to Pantone colors, but remember, setting up an RGB value in the materials editor for a material does not nessesarily give you that color on your rendered object. 3DS will assign that color to the object, but the actual rendered color will change depending on your lighting conditions. -Brian
