how to set render target

[Disastorm]

*edit nm i figured it out.  I had to set environment mapping on my object.

However, I noticed the texture doesnt seem to have any antialiasing.  Is there a way to render to it with anti aliasing?

No, anti-aliasing is not possible in that context. I don't understand what env-mapping has to do with render targets, but if all works fine now...

i dunno, if i didnt set the environment mapping it just showed up as a weird solid color that would change colors when i moved the camera but it didnt really look like anything.

Well, that depends on the object. If it has no proper uv-coordinates, texturing won't look right. Enabling environment mapping creates some coordinates on the fly but it might not look right on objects that are not shiny.

ah i see, I did not put any textures originally on the object so I think it must not have any UV.
