Hi,

Yes I have. I searched for all .tga files. There were only a handful and none of them were the file I was looking for. Strange behavior.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi David,
Usually the Tachyon default output file name is "vmdscene.dat.tga"
on Unix-like and Mac OSs.
Not sure about Windows though.

Have you already tried searching for the above file name?
Cheers,

Quick question. I am rendering with vmd and tachyon. When I do so I get the following output:

Info> Rendering current scene to 'vmdscene.tga' ...
Info> Ambient occlusion rendering enabled.
Info> Tachyon: preprocessing time 0.047000 sec, render time 14.445000 sec.

Running this on windows. Where is vmdscene.tga? I search the entire computer and can't find it.
