Our very small graphics company has one machine with a PAR card for outputting our renderings to video. However, other employees would like to be able to view their animations (numbered targa files) even without a par card. Is there any way of doing this? Maybe it won't be 30 fps or something, but it seems like it should be possible. Thanks for your help. -Matt

Matthew; I highly reccommend the MARS board for quick reviews and in-house presentations. It's 352×240 30fps MPEG and does the compression of both the animations and Audio so you can play back sound with your presentation. The Suggested retail was just dropped from $1500. to $1000. and there are several dealers on this forum including myself that handle them. You may want to list where your located so a dealer close to you can get back to you. We are in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Again if no-one else gets back to you you can also call the MARS people at their 800-432-8905 number and they'll find someone close to you. Murph'

Mark <just make a FLC> If you are in 3-DS and have the PAR on your map path you can view image – example: if file is name TEST0000.ANI you enter TEST0026.tga and will file #26 will appear [how i love this PAR] Jeffrey
