Attached Link: Animation against background image

Render a couple frames with the background and a couple without. Check how much time difference there is. a couple of saying i "animate by" are these: the first is by the late great comic book (graphic novel, p.c. term) artist, Wally Wood - “Never draw what you can copy; never copy what you can trace; and never trace what you can cut out and paste up.” and the 2nd, (unknown author ) "Give the hardest job to the laziest person and they will find the easiest way to get it done!" So ya i just render against the final background image, straight to Quicktime (uncompressed). Good luck and happy Posering jerr3d aka the Ed Wood of the 12 Poser Animators
