Martin, Thanks for the response. Do you know or could you check with the MAC 2d artist you are working with on how they ate manipulating your files. Does thier pshop recognize the tga alpha chanel as transparency? Also I was interested in what you do. Can you tell me about Animatrix. Sounds like and animation company. What types of work do you do (etc)? Thanks again for your help! Tim ARTEC

Tim, you somehow addressed this to my ID with Martin's name. I'm not sure which software you ar using to access CIS, but a simple Reply statement should set you up to answer notes fairly straightforwardly. I'd suspect Martin will get this OK, though… -Alan PS — Maybe Martin's associates have Pshop 3.0 online up there in Irvine and can tell us if it supports the Alpha info in a 3DS 32-bit TGA…Martin?

Alan, thanks for intercepting that mish-mashed message 🙂 >> Maybe Martin's associates have Pshop 3.0 online up there in Irvine and can tell us if it supports the Alpha info in a 3DS 32-bit TGA…Martin? << yes they are, and I'll have to ask. My guess is "yes".

>> Pshop 3.0 online up there in Irvine and can tell us if it supports the Alpha info in a 3DS 32-bit TGA… The present version (2.5.1) fully supports alpha in a 32 bit TGA. David

David, >> The present version (2.5.1) fully supports alpha in a 32 bit TGA. << ripping, mate! That's good to know, thanks. I hope the original enquirer will see this.

>> [PShop] (2.5.1) fully supports alpha in a 32 bit TGA. Also, with absolutely no difficulty whatsoever, I have read 3DS 32-bit TGA's into the MACINTOSH Pshop 3.0. Alpha info comes in as "channel #4". – Dave

John, I almost missed this message because the user ID is wrong. I _try_ to read all the messages in all the (interesting to me) sections, so I just caught this one. >> Does thier pshop recognize the tga alpha chanel as transparency? << I think so, but I know so little about photoshop – they have version 3.01 and it has a lot of knew neat features. I'll ask on Monday. However, Ana Gervas is our resident Photoshop krazy person, so maybe she can answer with more certainty. >> Can you tell me about Animatrix. << Sure. I started freelancing with 3d Studio r1 and Animator back in early '91 under that company name. Mainly corporate video and architecture in those days which shifted to multimedia and games later on. I've just taken a full-time position at Virgin Interactive Entertainment as lead tea-lady, but Animatrix lives on ….. Martin "Global Village Idiot" Foster
