The PAR problem is so little of a problem that I wish Autodesk would fix it with a simple patch. The reason the PAR doesn't work in "native" format, is that when it writes to the PAR, it writes more than Targa files. (The PAR can ONLY take TGAs in sequence, anything in the middle messes up the aquisition.) AAS is writing a temp file, or something, as it goes along. All we want is a simple fix… the ability to specify a different "scratch" disk, or whatever. Do you guys at Autodesk have any suggestions? Its so simple (in my little mind) that with a little knowledge of the architecture a work-around could be found. Please. I can't afford the 1.8GIG per minute that an animation needs on a standard HD. (On the PAR, its more like 200 meg/minute).
