Can I render single frames frome Video Post? When I try, it goes through the regular render cycle…"setting up lights", "setting up normals", etc. But when its finished rendering the frame it starts "setting up lights", etc. again. If I press ESC to stop the repetition, no picture is produced. I've also had problems with background images not rendering from VP that show up fine if rendered from the Keyframer. Any suggestions? Ian.

1. Your red bar is probably not at your current frame. If you don't use the "Use KF" button to extend VP to use your entire KF sequence, this is a common goofup. 2. Background images set in the Background dialog outside of VP aren't used by VP at all… VP is a compositing system independant of the background method outside of VP (which is a mini-VP in and of itself). – G

OOps! I think I realized what happened — scene motion blur was on. I imagine that 3DS would need to render previous and subsequent frames before being able to produce the single still frame that I was after. By the way, having tons of fun with 3DS3 — great job!

After logging off this morning I thought that might've been your problem. Glad to hear that you've figured it out (and that you're having fun, which is the IMPORTANT thing). – G
