In a foolish attempt to not have to come in to work over the weekend I played around with a render batch file. After figuring out what parameters I needed and multiple false starts, I finally got things working perfectly except for one thing. The resolution of the targa image comes out 480 x 486 instead of the desired 512 x 480. Here's the command I used: 3ds render ABPS /A1.23 /FTC /H512 /W480 /IABPS /OTFH /SP /8C92730AL.COL /#0,255 Why didn't it work?

Uh, I think you got your height/width mixed up, James. In a 512×486 image, the width is 512 pixels, and the height is 486. If you had the renderer set to something other than null, then the height could be constrained to 486, thus the 480×486 output. -Alan Iglesias

Yes sometimes you look so hard to see the problems they become transparent. Thanks for your awakening <g>. James

Besides Alan's suggestion, use the /dnull parameter so 3ds won't use the configured resolution. Add the file type extension (.flc or .tga). Steve Ormonde
