I have the 1.267b release of the PAR, and I was wondering if there is a way to convert multiple still files to .tga in one step? It seems I rendered an animation to the PAR as stills, although I clicked the button under import to read "Anim", it still saved them as stills. Anyway, I need to turn these stills into .ani for the PAR. Is there a quick way to do this? Thanks. James Franssen Imagination Station 72650,3677 @ 09-Oct-1994, 15:31:39

I believe for now you're SOL. I understand you will be able to append stills in a future version of the software but you're not able to do this yet in 1.3b

Jim: I sorta' missed the beginning question so forgive me if I misfire. Could you create an .ifl of your stills and rotoscope them into 3DS and send them out to an .ani file on your PAR? You wanted to create an animation out of some stills, right? Bob

>> You wanted to create an animation out of some stills, right? << Bob hi. Somehow I saved a number of frames from a rendering to stills in the beta version of the PAR (I did not know there was an even newer version out yet, gonna download it) and I was asking how I could quickly convert them back to an ani. Your suggestion would work, I would imagine, only I've already converted each file to .tga then back to PAR .ani again. Sometimes learning the hard way can be good.. I certaintly will be more thorough at checking the renderings once they start 🙂 Thanks. James Franssen Imagination Station 72650,3677 @ 10-Oct-1994, 10:37:29

James- I've done the same thing, more than once. And converting them is a mess. Don't feel bad…. You're not the only one who has done this. -Mark
