Alec, I'm sorry to see it won't work out like you had planned. I wouldn't give up on Animator Studio, though. There are still several effects you can do with Animator Studio to use with 3DS and AAPRO, that neither can do or do easily. I personally use AAS to do 24 bit animated textures. Try engraving something into a 3D nameplate using sequential .TGA's created by signing your name in AAS!(Way cool!) Until the processing power(P7<g>) is there, AAS won't be able to handle large segment video resolution .TGA files. This is probably a bad comparison, but my only defense on performance with 300 files is to try loading those things into some other paint package-all 300 of 'em. I'd be willing to bet most packages would croak after about 20. It's not an excuse, just plain facts. Hopefully we can find a way to load in several files at once without eating so much resources. Jh
