  • 16 bpc project setting-Not rendering 16 bpc

    Posted by Erin Patrick on September 11, 2006 at 6:25 pm

    I have my project settings set to 16 bit, and in the render queue, my render settings are set to 16 bit. I’m rendering out as a targa sequence. When I render, if I check one of the targas, it’s only 8 bit.
    Can anyone help?

    as far as i know targa’s are only 8 bit files. selecting 32 bit in the render queue only means you’ll have an alpha. if trillions of colors is grayed out then you have picked a format that doesn’t support 16 bit per channel files.

    Targas are only 8 bpc. Use a 16 bit format such as TIFF, PSD, OpenEXR, HDR etc.

    Ok, wow, I never knew that. So in order for the tiff sequence I’m about to render to be 16 bit, I have to change “depth” in the output module to “trillions of colors” not just set the “color depth” in the render settings to 16 bpc, right?
    Thanks for the help, guys!
