  • A query regarding exporting of particle effects to images?

    Posted by David Bergstrom on October 20, 2014 at 4:56 am

    Hi everyone,
    I have run into an issue when exporting a particle effect to a series of images. When I export the effect into the image set, the output is elongated vertically, and for the life of me I can’t work out why. I’m assuming it’s a setting somewhere, but I’m not sure what to change to fix it. My output SHOULD be 192×192 pixels, however the images are coming out at 320×240, which stretches the image rather badly. Does anyone know how I can try and fix this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

    Regards,
    David.

    The pixel aspect information stored in the image files is wrong, so the viewer program you’re using is stretching it — at least that’s what I think is happening.

    Either set your viewer to ignore pixel aspect ratio (always use square pixels) or try saving in a different image format in pI.
