GARY; I'll bet this is not a new idea. I was watching my animation of a LOGO render today and am always wanting things to go faster naturaly…. so I wonder how difficult it would be to write the code to make 3D Studio render only lines that are different from the last rendered image? Many of my animations involve a large part of the whole screen that is the same as the previous image except for one small portion that is changed.. Couldn't the program be written to simply duplicate each previous image and then write over only the part that is different. This would really speed things up…. -David R. Long
