Help with Targa/RDPADI
4 messages in this thread
Madeline, I've got a Targa+ 16/32 and the correct set statement is Set
RDPADI=\3DS3\DRIVERS\RDPTPLUS.EXP you may try the different driver but it could
also be that you're not specifying the \drivers directory. Also, I think you
need to do a TMODE 11 6 or similar to initialize the Targa and don't forget to
load the driver in config.sys. Good luck

By the way… The new 1.0.3 Version of the Vibrant Inline driver supports
Targa+…. Check it out.

Hey, thanks for the info on the T+, I'll check it out ASAP.

Dave – thanks for your help with my targa problem. Your suggestions regarding
the Targa plus board make sense – what you mention is what I've got at home
with my Targa (which I =know= is a Targa+). This board, though, is pretty
clearly not a Targa+ because 3DSR2 uses it via the rdptarga.exp driver and no
TMODE in sight. If I had to guess (and I don't have to, but I'm going to
anyway <g>), I'd say that there is something different between the way 3DSR2
interacts with the driver and the way 3DSR3 interacts with it.
In any case, I've pretty much gotten used to rendering to the hard
drive and sticking the resulting clumps of frames together on
videotape (when I was a programmer I learned to do binary, octal, and
hexadecimal arithmetic; now I'm an artist and I have to work in
base-30 arithmetic <G>). I'm also told that rendering straight to
tape is very hard on the VTR. Since the nice Betacam SP deck I'm
using belongs to my client (and I'm doing my own demo reel, not
theirs), I'd be wise to keep the wear and tear to a minimum.
Thanks again.
