Can anyboby tell me why my animations always end up as a fli file at 320 by 200 even though a click on 512 by 480 and it starts out as a flc file? I was hoping to get a higher resolution file for transfer to vhs. Thanks.

Give us a step-by-step of what you go through to render at 512×480 (and the type of display device you're rendering to). Without that, it's hard to make a guess–but I'll make one anyway. I suspect you might be setting the rendering resolution in the 3D Editor, and then rendering the animation from the Keyframer. – Jack

Be sure that you're also changing the rendering device to null, for 256 color output, or to the ADI driver if you're using a targa. If it's still set at the default VGA320x200, it'll output 320×200 no matter what numbers you put in the boxes. Aaron

Dan, you have to set your display driver to NULL in order to get higher res flics. Renderer/Setup/Configure. Otherwise it renders to screen resolution. An unfortunate thing, but that's the way it is – Gary when are you guys going to change that? Anil

Change it to what? – J

How would you expect us to change it? I can't see any other way to make it possible to output a file in a higher-resolution than your display device. – G

How about a "Hey dufus – wake and smell the coffee" message? 'Course, I've never set the resolution higher than the driver could handle (right!). LAM
