#HP Scanjet IIc 3DS
3 messages in this thread
Roger D, Great to find another HP Scanjet IIc user. It is great in the
Window environment It supports million colors scanned images but I can't
find the .TGA file extension when you create a file. I'm using the
Deskscan software. Let me know how you are using it with 3DS. My use is
primarly architecture. I hope to use it to create backgrounds and place
new structures in it. Also hope to create texture maps. Keep in touch
Wayne L,
Like Jack pointed out, using the Photofinish software, and saving out
compressed TIFs seems to work. I have a hard time with the TGAs though, as
I said in my message to Jack at Yost. For architectural, I've found that
taking or finding a good picture of a repeatable portion of a building and
repeating it by tiling works really well, like for windows in a building.
Having a scanner is essential for quality bitmaps, bumpmaps, etc. I think
I'll have to scope out some image editing software to see if there's
anything that puts out reliable compressed TGA. If I can help, let me
know.
Roger D.
I also use the HP IIc. And it works great! I usually scan in Millions of
colors, then load the image in PhotoStyler for touch-up and then convert it
to 8Bit color (since all of my output is in 8Bit anyway.) and then save it
as a GIF to be used in 3DS.
