What happens for me though is this shows up in /usr/adm/messages. Sep 29 21:00:01 posaune rpc.renderd[633]: Inconsistent set of values to create NXBitmapImageRep Not too sure why that is happening. If you want to run prman from the command line you do need to be sure the rib file has the following line in it. (Most of the examples shipped with 3.0 don't.) Display "myFile.tiff" "tiff" "rgba" This is documented at the bottom of the Intro3DKit.rtf document in Digital Librarian. -- David K.
