Your "hood ornament" animation sounds cool. Could you maybe upload it for the rest of us to admire? I tried the trusty clam.cho provided with the program for more tests on my NEC Ready 433es (souped up to a 486DX2-66 with 20 meg and Windows 3.11 with 32-bit access enabled for disk and files, a 4meg cache setting in Windows, and Virtual Memory set to none and Drive Rocket software running, prefs.hsh set at 16000KB). In the Windows Render, set at 640×480, photo, anti-alias and 24-bit selected, the first frame (usually the quickest render along with last frame) came in at 3:43. Frame 15 (the biggest clam image..wide open with tongue out) took 5:35. All 30 frames were finished in 2:16:01. Same .cho with 640×480, photo, 24-bit and motion-blur selected, the first frame took 9:08 and frame 15 took 15:11. All 30 frames were rendered in 6:02:59. Motion blur is not good looking for still frames IMHO but works when used sparingly with fast motion. Kevin
