Thanks Elliot. That fixed it. Sigh. I have to hold the final frame. I'm going to try and dump the final frame to the par as a FRAME, w/o field rendering. I hope this is possible. I'll find out in exactly 53 minutes… 😉 Sean Howard // Dreaming of not dreaming //

Sean, You can split off the last frame of your animation with the PAR software and then join your new last frame. Or if you play with the tension control, you can have the hammer come to a dead stop on the last frame and not have two different fields rendered. Elliot

You mean it will not render fields if there is no motion? This might explain my more recent post of my problem…hmmm. Well, I'm as lost as they get! Sean Howard // Sheep without a flock //

>> You mean it won't render fields if there is no motion? No, it's still rendering fields. There's just no motion -> the field data all lines up. By the way, you may have had a problem in the past with importing LW field rendered images to a device or process that reverses the field dominance. That's why Allen added the Reverse Fields button… to compensate for that. JG

Sean, Rendering the final frame without field rendering works just fine in my PAR setup. I've also had a lot of fun duplicating my anims in reverse to show certain types of cycling motions. Give it a try, it's realy trick! Frank

Thanks! I wish you could just tell the PAR to play a certain frame for so many seconds. But I suppose duplicating it or doing it in post isn't so bad. That's an interesting idea with the cycling. I'll try it out. I'm still having problem with the field rendering. I just posted a new breakdown on it. I've never had this many problems before. I suppose it's time for me to learn! 😉 Sean Howard // Nightmare in progress //

Actually, once you get the hang of it, the PAR is pretty slick at chopping up animations in various ways. I whipped up an "MTV-Style" animation recently, which was a logo over a looping background. Inside the logo, I mapped various textures and switched them every three frames. Using the PAR, I constructed a 30 second loop with just 20 frames…A bit of button pushing for sure, but the results were pretty fine! Trent/ReAnimators
