I can't speak for Stacker or SuperStor, but I've had no problems with 3D
Studio under DoubleSpace once I remembered to keep a non-Doubled partition for
the swap files. Works fine, and the extra space comes in real handy!
Note: when rendering to Targas, even compressed ones, DoubleSpace will
help. When rendering to compressed TIFFs, however, and especially GIFs, you
won't see much if any further compression with DoubleSpace (I believe both GIF
and 3DS's version of compressed TIFF use LZW compression, which appears to be
the same algorithm used by DoubleSpace itself — it's also the one used by
PKZip prior to version 2). But .PRJ, .3DS, .MLI, .SHP, .LFT, etc. files
compress QUITE nicely! 🙂
