>>…I've heard that if you have rendered using field rendering, then the FS format is better for this. Are you familiar with this?<< Hmmm. I haven't heard about that, Polo. I can't think of any reasons why the FrameStore format would be better myself, so I'd like to hear the reasoning behind that. AFAIK, the FS format is just a filtered 24 bit image, dropping it down to 20 bit, and displayable on the Toaster framebuffer. In addition, a field rendered image rendered to the toaster buffer will not display like a FS image. I virtually always use field rendering, so if this is the case, I'd like to find out more about it. Cheers! Trent/ReAnimators

Trent, I always use field rendering myself; that is why I made the comment. It seems to me that somewhere either in LW Pro, VTU, or maybe even AmigaWorld I read about it. It has been a while though. I'm sorry I can't pinpoint the source for you, maybe someone else will jump in and help out? =) Have a great day, POlo

exit I heard the same thing. It was a short comment in VTU saying that field rendering did not work with RGB's just FS. John Gross's comment was that it was not true. I always use RGB for the final render and framestores for low res previews (low res RGB's will be smaller [D [D [D [A [A [B [D images, centered, where as FS always appear full screen. I hardly ever us field render. I use a low setting for motion blur. ray cvs@randomc.com/exit [A/exit 2 [D [D [D [Chelp go amiga off bye

>> and framestores for low res previews >> FS always appear full screen Cool. I did not know this. Glad I was lurking. Thanks. Oh man, is this going to come in handy. Stephen
