I have a few general questions about 3D Studio and Animator Pro: (1) How would I capture an AutoCAD screen to use in Animator Pro? I've tried using Hijaak and created a .GIF file, but the the quality is pretty crummy. (2) When rendering to tape, can you combine a .FLC animation with an animation created by sequential .TGA files? Example: Say you create part of an animation in Animator and another part in 3D Studio (which is rendered to the .TGA files). (3) What is the actual end result difference between a .FLC animation and a .TGA animation anyway? (4) What is the optimum and/or typical resolution for rendering to video tape? (5) What is this Targa+ calibration kit I've been hearing about? Is it a good idea to get this before rendering an animation. By the way…..I am using a Targa+ graphics board. Thanks in advance, Chris Yanchar
