When you select Export > 3DO ImageWriter, the Image Writer dialog
appears.
Figure 1: 3DO Image Writer dialog.
The following options are available for determining how an image is
created:
VDL Type
A video display list (VDL) consists of a color table and some additional
information. Use this box to choose between a standard color table or a
custom (image-specific) color table. For more information, see the
chapter, "Understanding the Display Generator," of the 3DO Portfolio
Programmer's Guide.
Standard VDL
Selects a standard (system-supplied) 5-5-5 VDL or a standard 5-5-4-0 VDL.
The 5-5-4-0 color table clears the lowest blue bit for cornerweighting
information.
Custom VDL
Selects a custom color table. This is useful if the image shows "banding"
after reduction to 15-bit color for the frame buffer.
If you choose Dynamic, the Image Writer creates a different color
table for each scanline.
If you choose Fixed, the Image Writer uses the system color table for
the image.
The Color Reduction pop-up menu provides various choices for color
reduction. Use the default.
