#3D Studio Drivers
3 messages in this thread
I am looking for a solution to my plotting output resolution problems. I have
Windows NT (3.5) with Adobe Photoshop Ver. 3.0 for a Platform/Graphic output. I
also have 3DStudio Ver. 4.0 (DOS). I can render out a Targa file with my 'X'
set @ 6000 and 'Y' set @ 6000, keeping in mind that I am in DOS. From here I
must Reboot my computer to invoke Windows NT/my network, and go into Photoshop
to open this Targa file. Prior to opening this file, I set my file format to
RGB. Opening the Targa file is not a problem, in fact, it looks GREAT!!!, but
this is where the problem begins… I print it out to my HP Designjet 650C
(w/the 'B' hardware upgrade) and it has a resolution conversion problem.
Shadows that should be light black are cyan, browns are red, etc.. Please tell
me that there is somebody out there that has ran into this problem and has
beaten it. Must I always work in DOS to achieve the resolution 3DStudio is more
than capable of outputting? I am looking forward to hearing from someone soon.
Hi Dan,
do you have the same problem with smaller resolutions? I am using wfw 3.11
since I installed NT just for playing around (I thing it is the time for
muliple operating systems on a workstation. Using always the best OS for the
current job).
Plotting TGA-Images from 3DS on special paper is never a problem for us. In
some cases, my ELSA Winner PRO PCI 4MB shows wrong colours at the monitor. I
think the 64k color-mode is not the best with the ELSA.
And at least, I am sure your color-tints are in the right slots and there is
nobody who jokes to you? <G>
Just a try to help.

I just saw this note. Thought that I would ask which card (exactly) and which
drivers you are working with and what type of problems you were having in 16bpp
modes.
Thanks for the info.
Sincerely,
Tom
