I'm running 3DS r4 (the 'what happened to the Splines?' version) and rendering to a PAR. I'm about half finished creating a 90-second animation consisting of 25 independently rendered PAR animations. Eventually, I'll want to join those animations. I think the JOIN feature is poorly documented in all versions of the PAR text files. If I am reading correctly, I won't be able to join the 25 files at the *end* of the rendering part of the project. I needed to be joining the various parts as each one was created. Right? Now, I think there may be an answer to my problem in the Razor program. Eventually, I'll want to synchronize a WAV file to the animation and I *believe* Razor does that. Does it? If it will also allow me to edit my 25 scenes into one finished PAR project then I'll be one happy guy. Am I barking up the wrong technological tree? Thanks. Dave

>>Am I barking up the wrong technological tree? Yes! you can just render each animation to a file in the same project in the par then join them all together by listing them in the proper order in the join sub menu in PAR.exe.

Doug, Thanks for the PAR 'Join' info. You saved me some bucks! -Dave

You can also join .ani files that are in different directories on the PAR's HD. They will be assembled in the directory of the first .ani selcted, under the name "temp.ani". Paul S.
