G'day again all, All I seem to do lately is yell for help, but here I go again! Truevista pro board is giving a wierd problem with R4. When displaying rendered .TGA files, you get stray Purple pixels all over the place. The image is fine during the render, its only when you display saved .TGA's to put to tape… The viewing utility with the Truevista pro works perfectly, you only get the problem in 3DS… Any ideas anyone????? -Peter

Peter, Not sure I understand the prob correctly, (not sure if the purple pixels are actually on the tga, or just in the display) but we had a very similar sounding problem at a place I worked… Turned out to be the video card, a Diamond Stealth, as I recall. In this case, the pixels were NOT on the actual image, just appeared in the monitor. Hope this helps… SCL

No, the pixels are not in the .TGA file, only on screen, but ONLY when viewed via 3DS, view them with anything else and no purple pixies…hmmmmmm

Sounds like the same problem… As I recall, we replaced the video card and it went away. But since it was just in 3DS,I thought at the time that it may have been overkill. It was a big co. and with their $$$, so I figured no need to argue with 'em. In your case, Vibrant has said elsewhere here that they're trying to get new drivers u/l'ed this weekend, so you might wait and see if that helps before hassling with the h'ware. Hope this helps… SCL
