Larry: Field rendering gives you 60 updates per second for your animation instead of the 30 that frame rendering gives you. Remember this – video is _interlaced_! What is interlacing? Interlacing is showing every other line on the screen, then coming back and filling in the ones in between that it missed the first time, then starting again. If you had a different image on each set of lines, you get 60 images per second. That's what field rendering is, it's _using_ the interlacing in video to help you, instead of hurt you! Does that help? Greg Pyros
