Hi all, I don't use 3DStudio, but I'm trying to get my company to purchase it. I am the engineer at a custom wood fixture company, and we do alot of custom stuff. I do probably 10 to 20 Solid models in AutoCAD 12 dos a week. I'd like to move on to the next level of rendering and animation. The kind of thing where our fixtures come together in the center of the screen. My question is, is it possible to make a demo approximately 1 minute long, that would fit on a floppy to send to our customers. It would also have to have a built in player. I realize that normal video is 30 fps, and each frame would be around 50k to 150k in size, so it could get very large. I wasn't sure if there was a good built in file compression tool or not. Does anybody do this sort of thing?
