Hi Andrew, I have 3ds4 on a p-90 and an Indigo Extreme2 running Alias connected via ethernet. The way i do it is very anoying. On the SGI i convert the single frames to pc tiffs then i copy them over to the pc. There i wrote a qbasic exe to convert my frames from anim.000 > anim000.tif. Then i use Autodesk Animator ,"load pics as flic" this converts all the tiffs into an animation. Pain in the A _ _ !! Frank Delise.

It's doable though- I wonder if there are any conversion utilities or scripts that do approximately the work of your little program out there? Andy
