Gary, I believe my prolbem with missed frames (COLOR BARS) or with color
bars intermittly showing up in the rendering, is because I am using a Targa
32 bit image for the background. I believe I read on the forum that 32 bit
images are a prolbem for 3DS2. Since this 32 bit TGA image contains alpha
data, the incomming video being fed into the Targa card (color bars) is
blending through. This has happened within the 240 frame animation 4 times,
in different spots. I will resave this image as a TGA-24 image and yes,
re-render again.
Regards Steve
