Re: .TAG in After FX

[Darren Macpherson <darren.3d(at)gmail.com>]

Thanks Takita and Luc-Eric

I have exported the .tag file from flipbook before to an SGI or TGA 
sequence, but the problem is that it seems to remain aliased and does 
not line up with the other passes antialiasing.  Would exporting it out 
at 16 bit make a difference to this, am I missing something?  Our 
deadline is tight (arent they all) and the compositer we're surplying 
our renders to would be using the .tag for verious things, I would like 
to avoid a back-forth situation.

Thanks again for the input so far.
