Ok, i made my planet in bryce, and rendered it to my disk as a pict file. How do i convert this plain pict file into the new rlë8 and rlëD resources that EV:N uses so that i can put it in a plug in? (i noticed that the planet pictures are in the rlë8 and rlëD along with the ships, engine glows etc...).
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

Get EnRLE from w00tware. It'll encode your sprite into whatever format you want (rle8, rleD, or both), and make a mask. I'm not too sure how it works, but it seems to reliably make good masks.

You use EnRLE from w00tware. You stick a spin rescource and a 16 bit PICT into one resEdit file. You stick the same spin rescource and a 8 bit PICT into another resEdit file. Then you drag and drop both on EnRLE, click OK on the menu, and watch the magic happen.
P.S. I had a hell of a time with this until I realized you had to have both a 16bit and 8bit PICT

Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a flame thrower.
You don't need a 16 bit and an 8 bit pict. Oh. well maybe it's because I only selected rleD... or maybe I did both, but I don't ever recall needing a both 8 and 6 bit render. But then again, I was making a ship sprite.

You have to use an 8bit PICT for rle8's and 16bit PICT for rleD's. That was the hardest(now it seems so simple) problem.
