  • Output PNGs from PI Render are squashed

    Posted by Marco Rosenberg on August 10, 2012 at 9:49 pm

    Hi there,

    I have a problem with particle Illusion Render:
    I tried to render PNGs of an Effect in Full HD (1080×1920) and the PNGs are squashed in width.
    The strange thing is, if I open them in Windows Picture Viewer, they pop up at the correct aspect ratio for half a second and then squash to square shape.When I import them into After Effects, they are also squashed.
    I tried the same with a custom aspect ratio like 1500×1200, but that also resulted in squashed PNGs.

    Is there any setting or workaround to avoid this or is it a bug?

    Kind regards,
    Marco Rosenberg

    If you load the PNGs back into particleIllusion as a background image, is the aspect ratio correct?

    Perhaps there is some aspect ratio info being written incorrectly into the PNG files. Try saving as TGA — does that fix the problem?
