3d studio: HAVING PRODUCED A 1000 FRAME VGA FLIC USING FIRST LOW PALLETTE AND THEN MEDIUM PALETTE THERE SEEMS TO BE A 1 TO 3 (RESPECTIVELY) INCREASE IN FILE SIZE. DOES THIS SEEM ROUGHLY NORMAL? WHAT RATIO OF FILE SIZES ARE EXPERIENCED WHEN IN HIGH PALETTE MODE? SINCE THE UPPER TWO PALETTE MODES "SHIMMER" ON BACKGROUND AND STATIONARY OPJECTS WHAT GOOD IS IT FOR THIS TYPE OF APPLICATION? mUST BE A TECHNIQUE I'M MISSING. HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HAD GOOD/BAD EXPERIENCES WITH TARGA 16/33+ BOARD? AM ABOUT TO PURCHASE ONE. WE USE AN HPIIC SCANJET FOR INHOUSE DEVELOPMENT OF BACKGROUNDS, MAPS, ETC., WHAT OTHER METHODS, BETTER OR QUICKER ARE THERE? THANKS FOR ANY HELP. THIS PACKAGE IS VERY EXCITING BUT THE EXPERIENCE CURVE IS STEEP WHEN STARTING OUT. GE TILTON
