If you are doing an AXP process like explode/disintegrate etc. is
there any way to "see" if you are getting the desired effect? Can you
render say every "nth" frame to get a "preview"?
Judy,
an actual preview (doing a preview/make) won't show the results of an
axp process. You'd need to do a full render, but could use a range
with every nth frame to check the effect and render to a flic. You
can use flat shading to get a faster test.
I use a 256×240 rendering screen, and flat shading mode with
antialiasing off, rendering every 2nd frame to low-palette flics.
That gives you an incredibly fast way to preview the particle system
effects.
