John's right on. When selecting your resolution for the PAR you need
to set the render display to null when you have another device such
as a targa+ (RDPADI) or VGA (RCPADI) device as default. I use a
targa+ here until I get to the final stages and then I switch to PAR
and always seem to forget to reset the display to null so I get that
tall safe frame too. Do yourself a favor, Paul. Go into your 3DS.set
file and set up your render resolutions and AR's as default for YOUR
hardware. I have these set for me: 512X486X1.266; 752X480X.851;
256x243x1.266 (for targa+ speed rendering); and 376x240x.851 (PAR
speed rendering)
I asked this same question of John. How do you figure the correct
ratio. I see the difference in what each of you use. I didn't know I
could change the defaults on the render resolutions – great tip.
Thanks, Paul
