*Technical Support Needed* I am a registered 3DS R3 user. Recently, I have had an opportunity to experiment with the Video Post function. I have followed the "Galactic Ripple" tutorial line by line, and have gone through it 3 times from scratch with the same results: When rendering, it goes as far as frame 0 where it goes to encode the 256-color image and then generates the message: "Cannot create temporary file: C:\3ds3\temp\$FLIW1$.TMP" I have made sure that I have ample disk space and that the c:\3ds3\temp directory exists. I have completely erased and reloaded the 3DS software and have achieved the same results. I am running 3DS R3.0a on a Toshiba 4800CT laptop computer with DOS 6.21 and 16Mb of RAM. I can render flics without video post and they render fine. In fact, I even reset the system, created a 20 frame file with only a camera. I then went to video post, put "stars.ixp" in the first entry, used the "KF Scene" in the second entry and got the same results. If I take out "stars.ixp" it seems to render without this error, making me think the problem might be with the "stars.ixp" entry. PLEASE- What am I doing wrong?
