does anyone know a way to, for example, render a scene with a simple wall with a hole in it, then an arrow shoots out of the hole? what i want to do is render the wall seperate from the arrow. the arrow would be a .flc and the wall a simple .tga. i could then run the 2 together in authorware. this would allow a much better play back off a cd. If you could hide an object but still allow it's properties to be active in the scene, then this could be possible. i tried rendering the arrow without the wall and then just the wall, but the arrow will not "appear" correctly from the hole. What to do? just in case i was refering to 3D Studio R4. Maybe an IPAS?
