Thanks for the great software and keep up the good work. The IPAS routines look real promising and exciting. I am in the process of expanding my architectual and mechanical drafting buisness to include animation and would like a good rendering board and to be able to output to my home VCR in addition to using a post production house. What is the best way to obtain "poster quality" still output from 3DS renderings? The problem I am having is finding information on available graphics boards or setups for outputting my animations with. Information is real sketchy and hard to find. What I would like to know is what equipment are people using to output with and with what results? Everything is compared to the TARGA, so should I buy a TARGA? What are the alternatives to the TARGA? What about the MAGNI? Is there anything else on the market that I am missing? HELP HELP HELP Thanks
