I am trying to go to a photorealistic hard copy from AutoSHADE 2.0 with Renderman but I'm not sure what my options are. My equipment is 386-33 Clone, 8Mb Ram, 320Mb HD, TVGA 1Mb graphics card, NEC 3D Monitor, DOS 3.3 Is it possible to obtain hard copies (8.5×11) of photorealistic renderings from a service bureau with just a filmroll file, or with an RIB file? Or do I have to process it and send an image file to the service bureau? If so, what file format should be used and how should AutoSHADE be configured? I am not finding the doc's very imformative in this important aspect of getting the renderings to a hard copy. Do you have to be an image processing expert??? Does anyone have a list of good service bureaus for this? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Allan Brown.

Allan: You ought to replace the Trident VGA with an Everex or Nth 24 bit VGA card. That way, you can really see what your images will look like. Evan
