#3D Studio .TIF files
4 messages in this thread
I am rendering an image and saving it to disk in a compressed .TIF file.
The image size is 1024 X 768. I download this file to disk and send it to
an imaging center for output to a 4X5 transparency. The image looks
great, only it is quite squished in the horizontal direction. Upon talking
to the manager at the imaging center, I find that when he reads in the
image, its dimensions are 400 X 400. Is there something I need to do, or
something my image center needs to do in order to accept my image as I
rendered it? He is using a Mac IIfx hooked to a Matrix film recorder.
Currently, I supply the center with a second .TIF with squares and circles
so that they may get the correct horiz/vert ratio for the imaging. Any
help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you're probably not switching to the NULL device before
rendering the image at 1024x768x1. What, exactly, are your current
settings for Display, Resolution, and Aspect Ratio in the
Renderer/Setup/Configg dialog?

craig,
For what it's worth, the imaging people at the company where I work
often have trouble with compressed TIFF files. All uncompressed TIFFs I've
given them work fine, as do all TARGAs. I usually render 800×600
compressed TARGAs for quick overheads and hard copy. I have to
specifically set the aspect ratio in 3ds to 1.0 before rendering, or the
resultant image is squashed vertically. I don't know what equipment they
are using.

Let me know what you find out because I'll be up against this next week
