#!@#$% rendering colors
7 messages in this thread
To all-
Speaking of filling the screen. If I want to make a 640×480 flic how would I
get it to fill the entire screen when I go to play it back, say from preview in
the keyframer. It seems that when I use 640×480 with a .9 aspect ration, the
yellow and green safe frame areas fill the camera view completely, but I'm only
getting about 80% of the screen filled in playback mode. And will this be a
different screen fill on a different monitor if I were to take the 640×480 flic
to another computer.
Well, well, well? What about it, What about it?
Thanks
Carl
Carl,
why would you use .9 aspect ratio? 640×480 is a 1.0 aspect ratio and I've never
seen it overlap a monitor unless it's an overscan monitor or the h-size, v-size
adjustments are turned way up on the monitor adjustments. As for 3ds playback
the auto-sensing doesn't always get it right anyway – a better indication is to
use animator pro and set up your vesa mode at the appropriate rez and load the
flic. If you don't have that play80.zip available on this forum does a nice job
of flic playback and flic size sensing/vesa mode choice.
Martin-
The reason I was using .9 as the aspect ratio was in the 3ds keyframer
camera view, .9 seemed to make the yellow outline fill most of the frame,
thusly I figured it would fill most of the monitor when rendered. If I set the
aspect to say 1 the horizontal comes in, if I go under .9 the vertical
decreases, where talking about the camera view-
safe frame.
But as you say using animator pro or play80 will automatically adjust
to the monitor size, am I correct?
Thanks
Carl
P.S.
Did you ever get my letter?
Carl,
I'm sorry but I still don't see any need for using an incorrect aspect ratio.
Animator Pro and play.exe (play80.zip) can be forced to go into certain vesa
modes and play.exe will attempt to choose the right screen resolution for the
flic if you don't specify. As far as physically filling the monitor once you
have the right mode it's a matter of making manual adjustments to the monitor
to get an absolute bezel to bezel image.
I did recieve a check (thanks) from you but no written letter.

Aaack! Dunno, dunno, dunno! I'm so far ($) from acquiring any 3ds->video
equipment that I haven't even looked at the Safe Frame feature.

Carl, it seems I'm writing to myself. Oh well, I wasn't trying to push
an anserw from you or anyone perticular, >>Well, well, well?<< just my way of
throwing a little narative light-heartness into the conversation. :.) <- broken
nose.
