>>>Lightwave 3.5 does in fact render to the Flyer, if you turn on Save Anim and set anim type to Medium resolution preview. Hollywood effects is not making use of this, but it is present.>>> Chuck, I understand this technique, but from what Steve at Hollywood Effects has told me, this give less colors than their technique of going to an RGB and then going through Toaster Paint. However, I just ran a test. Hollywood Effects stopped render a 160 frame scene at frame 51. Since the system crashed, I was able to complete the rendering via Lightwave. I placed the two croutons together at the proper frame and ran the entire scene. I can't tell the difference between the two. I sent Hollywood Effects a direct tape of this for them to compare. Maybe someone like Wayne can jump in here and tell me if there should be a difference, but what I see looks the same. Chuck, I think I also asked this question, but in case I didn't, how come I can't run Toaster Paint 3.1 in Flyer 4.03. I use to be able to do it in .94. I get an error saying not enough memory. So, in order to run Composite Studio, I had to install my 3.1 Toaster on a separate drive. Must be a better way. Fred
