Hi All,
I'm running 3D Studio and Animator Pro on a 486 DX33 with 8 Meg of
RAM. I find that if the FLC file gets too big it won't run smoothly.
1. Is this a RAM problem? 2. If so, how much RAM is needed to run a
flic that's 5 or 6 MB's?
Also, I can't seem to play flics from 3D Studio anymore. I have to
exit and go to Ani Pro to view a flic after it's rendered. Any ideas
on how to fix that? I've tried changing the path in the config
pulldown — no luck. All thoughts are appreciated, Rebbie
Rebbie, you need more memory. When the size of your flic + the
memory AniPro takes exceeds your ram, the flics must play from the
disk instead of from ram. I think AniPro uses 4 to 8 megs depending
on screen resolution, but I'm nowhere near sure about that. One
thing to try is playing the flic from Aniplay or Aaplayhi which
should require less memory. I went from 16 megs to 40 megs soon
after I started using 3DS partially for the same reason: to play big
flics.
About the flics from 3DS: what are you doing different from when it
did work?

Hi JKJ
Thanks. I figured the RAM was the problem but didn't want to invest if it
wasn't.
I'll try aniplay, too.
I'm not sure what's different since I used to be able to run flics from 3ds.
Maybe I should reinstall 3DS. (?)
Thanks again,
Rebbie
