Once again thanks for your help,
But I’m beginning to think PI wasn’t meant to be used to create the kind of art I need. Whatever I render out at that size look like it has scanlines over it and is in black and white. And I’ve tweaked settings left and right in pillusionrender, but no dice. However when I render in the default size and 720×486, it works like a charm. Anyone use PI for still imagery have ant tips/tricks? I’d love to use it to create special FX in comic book meant for print.
