Hi Alan,

Thanks for your suggestion we will try out.

Does it have to be zpic? I've had good luck saving the depth
renderchannel/framebuffer of a render as a 16bit *.SGI. Works great.

As for RPF, it apparently needs to be implemented by mental images and
they don't feel like doing so, according to this post:

 This is our first venture in using zpic from XSI and sending to our
 Aftereffect's guy.
 We are using XSI 6.01 and he is using Aftereffect 7.0
 We gave him a pic file and a zpic file to test.
 XSI rendered out a "test.pic" and a "test.zt"
 It didn't work in Aftereffect until we change the zpic file's extention
 to .zpic
 The next problem we have is the zpic data is inverted.

 Anyone else run into this problem or we doing something incorrect here.

 The Aftereffect guy enquired why SXI/MR. doesn't generate RPF (Rich
 Pixel Format) files
 like many other 3D packages.

 Thanks,
 Leoung
