I am very interested if Animator Studio will be able to render directly to tape in the manner of 3DS. This is invaluable for week long Targa render to tape sessions without the need for enormous disk space. Thanks, Mike

Animator Studio doesn't render to tape a la 3D Studio. The importance of outputting to a PAR has been noted but not implemented. You can take an animation and save it as a series of TGA files though.

Nik, Unfortunate about the lack of render to tape. It is a very valuable procedure within 3DS. Please consider this important function in a future version(sounds odd since the first version isn't out yet!). -Mike

Thanks Mike. As Kevin Krell noted, the program can save its animation as a series of Targa files (he was replying to someone who was interested in seeing PAR support) so you're half the way there. Your wishlist is noted!
