Steve, I am using AM for windows v2.03, and I have a question regarding the DOS renderer. I can successfully render a still frame from a .cho file using one of the standard resolutions (-m,-l,-v), but I have been unable to render a higher resolution still using the -w# and -h# functions. I suspect that I am typing the wrong commands and therefore was hoping you would provide me with an example that would show the proper way to input the commands necessary to produce the desired results. Thanks, Chris D.

Chris, I never had this problem… Is it possible that you still include one of the preset resolutions (-m -l -v) that would overwrite the -w and -h values? Here is what works for me: render24 -s1 -e1 -p -q -a -y -w3000 -h2000 steve:run Start with frame 1, end w/frame 1 (do only 1 frame), with shadows, targa, antialiase, 1:1 aspect ratio, width=3000 pixels, hight=2000 pixels, name of project "steve", name of choreography and targa file "run" BTW. Name of project "steve" must be specified in projects.hsh — example: steve: c:\master\steve Hope this will help Pawel

Pawel, Success ! Thanks for your help. The magic command missing from my previous attempts was -q . I thought the default format was targa so therefore I didn't bother to specify it. And for what ever its worth I don't use the project name, I just include the path (c:\master\chor\walk.cho). It works for me. Thanks again, Chris D.
