Peter Nowell 70534,1374 August 5, 1991 Dear Autodesk Sysop: I have 3D Studio and have a question regarding Targa files. A friend wants me to render a 24-bit Targa file from a picture I have created in 3D Studio. I do not have Targa hardware so I must produce it in DEFAULT-DISPLAY="NULL" mode. The only other relevant controls I saw for the 3DS.SET file were SET TARGASET=T24, USE ALPHA=NO, IMAGE COMPRESSION=ON and IMAGE-TYPE=TARGA. Did I miss something else for the SET file because – using those controls – I did get a Targa file but it appeared very low-res when I viewed it with VPIC (a public domain viewing utility) and it was only 35K which is much smaller than I would expect for a Targa? My friend wanted the Targa to be 2048 wide by the corresponding 1346? or so height. How would I specify that since resolution would usually be specified with the DEFAULT-DISPLAY statement which should be set to NULL? Also, should I use image compression, because is this a standard compression that someone can decompress in a program like Lumena? I would very much appreciate your help on this. Sincerely yours, Peter Nowellu
