Can anyone help me? We have a client who has no network but wishes to do batch rendering using several computers. He has one licensed copy of 3d studio therefore only one dongle. The alternative is to use Command line rendering. According to the users guide if I type the following I should 3 GIF images in sequencial order labelled bonk0001.gif bonk0002.gif and bonk0003.gif: 3ds render bonkball /lbonkball.gif /#0,3 What actually happens is that all three images are merged into one big file called bonkball.gif! The image is unview-able. Thanks in advance. Rosswood computers Aylesbury, England

<< 3ds render bonkball /lbonkball.gif /#0,3>> It appears as if you are mistakenly using the /L (elle) switch, versus the /I (eye) switch. This would force the render command line to create a single file as the "last image file", versus separate GIF files. When you replace the /L with the /I, you will get 4 separate files. See "Advanced Users Guide", pages 11 & 12. -Brian
