Sorry it took me so long to reply to your message, Trin, but I wasn't
logging on to CIS as often as usual this week.
I don't think the problem is chip ram — I'm pretty sure it's fast ram.
The program has no problem showing the final image, which I think would
happen if chip ram was the issue. Instead, it simply doesn't render
certain objects. In my experiment I created a large scene – a skating rink,
actually – and gradually added skaters, tables around the rink, spectators,
etc. The entire area always rendered, but after adding a certain number of
objects adding any more would not only result in the new object(s) not
rendering, but would cause parts of older objects to not render. That was
what led me to conclude that it is a fast ram problem.
Of course, upgrading your agnus would probably be a good idea anyway. Let
me know how you do, since I am very curious about this problem. (I really
want to create that full skating rink image as I originally planned it.)
