>I'm trying to learn Playmation at the moment, I told it to "render" (CLI >command for anything other than low-res), 732×480, 24-bit IFF but without >anti-aliasing — and it took FORTY MINUTES PER FRAME!!!! You didn't say what kind of CPU you were using but I am sure that the reason it takes so long is the fact that PlayMation uses RAY-TRACING instead of scanline, which would account for the slow rendering times. <<< Tony D.
