It's an 8 colour Brilliance IFF (I was tracing parts of it to make
lights luminous).
I'm wondering if it's a PAL related problem - has anyone using PAL
had any probs with it?
What I did:
1. Load the image into layout/images.
2. In modeler, select the image as BG for x-axis (if I did this after
loading the object it always crashed instantly).
3. Load in the object it is usually mapped onto.
4. Select the relevant polygon, and "auto-size" the image onto it
(excellant option that).
This is where I start noticing problems. For one, if the image has to
draw past the 256 pixel line (or thereabouts), below that point the
image is corrupt. It's just a semi-random mess of pixels.
5. I then went to another layer, and started tracing the image.
I finished tracing teh first time and went back to layer one. I
noticed the original object was VERY freaky! Verticies were all over
the place. I decided to delete it and load it in again - crash (half
an hour of tracing gone :].
I did it all again, this time saving first. The foreground object was
corrupted again, so it's consistant.
Crashing happened any time it felt like it. Usually when the image
was drawing down in the bottom of the screen, so by moving the pic up
a bit I could get more done.
So my guess is that it's: PAL related, my machine related, my
accelerator related, or software related. Pick one and shuffle back
into the pack.
Cheers,
Row.
