Great thanks, I’m all activated now but first run has the application displayed half on one monitor and half on another. I recall if you place it on an external monitor and then unplug that one, the application stays off in no pixel land.

>>Deleting preferences fixed it but I had heaps of custom sizes that I lost.

Will PI have these little bugs looked at or has development discontinued?

I’m really pleased to have it up and running again, its a great app.

Thanks again,
AaronC

Yes it seems to be a problem with using the pIllusionRender window and larger than screen resolution. When it asks (after I hit the red render/record button) : “Do you want to zoom?” I I choose yes, I cannot get an alpha render, whereas if I choose no, and settle for a smaller sized render- I do get the alpha channel render.

Is a feature request a possibility? That the pIllusionRender window respects the View>ShowAlphaChannel Setting?

Thanks

Hi Alan,

Thats not actually what I’m referring to. If you see here:

https://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~remedydub/Screen%20shot%202010-12-23%20at%206.17.45%20PM.jpg

The image being rendered is color, ok? But what I’m trying to render is the same animation, but I’ve gone “View> Show alpha channel”. So what should be getting is a greyscale rendering, not a color one. In most (all ) other instances, I output a greyscale .mov In these particles I cannot. My question is why is this.

In other words, please take either of the posted iL3 files, and try rendering out their alpha channel only, by going “View> Show alpha channel”.

A strange anomoly is that in all other instances I dont see the particleRender window. (the one in the images) I wonder if this is because the render I seek is larger than the screen is able to show, vertically-and if this is cancelling out my alpha channel render somehow?

Thanks
Aaron Cross

Brilliant thank you very much for clarification

The question is Alan, can I set it to be 512×512 permanently or do I have to change it every single time?

Is that in the manual?

[Aaron Cross]

So I can make it 512×512 By Default so its that as soon as I open the application? Which setting is that?

Cheers
