Anybody have any suggestions on easy way to create Tga files consisting of text on a background for use as a Title leader in a 3dstudio animation. I know I can render text in 3dStudio itself, but I was hoing there was a better way, perhaps with Animator Pro. Thanks much Craig Fries

Look into WinImages/FX from Blackbelt Software (Systems?). They're here on Compuserve. The program is very inexpensive (~$100) and has so really great capabilities. BP
