Hello, I'm a game developer and we're making a game requiring 3D movies. I would like these movies to be 15 bits/pixel "direct color". This format would use 5 bits each for red, green, and blue. I will be happy to convert (if req'd) to this format. My problem is that our 3D artist said 3D Studio/animator couldn't make animation sequences with a pixel depth greater than 256 color. My understanding is that this is a limitation of the FLC file format. My question is, does anyone know how to use 3D studio/animator to directly produce animations at greater pixel depths? Any help in this area would be appreciated. Thanks, Gene Sewell Minds Eye Games
