Are you sure you have two paths, or are you seeing the "true" path and the projection? Motion paths are very touchy, verging on broken, depending on your definition. ;-) I ususally try to only make changes the the motion path when I am in frame 0. Markd

I'm no guru. . . here is the bit that I know.. . http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1956 basically, not clear that the E is much better than the non-E. You should read it though. On the memory side- thats a dual channel memory board, right? So you are actually getting two Simms to make up the 1G? (otherwise the TWIN line is kind of pointless- see the Corsair website) You would probably get slightly better performance with the Corsair- I don't know enough to quantify it though. Corsair is famous for the overclocking abilities of their memories. If you aren't going to optimize and overclock, it is probably overkill. Markd

And you have checked the option in the view menu?

Can't edit post? Just wanted to add- you can get the curve as tight as you want by adjusting the Limits slider. Markd

Wasn't there a problem with the post effects not being anti-aliased correctly until C3? Light cones is what I am thinking about, but maybe it would be applicable to aura as well.... Markd

Me to- PC, IE6. (doesn't get much more vanilla)

Sorry! If you leave it in basic mode it is a little easier. I plan to have more presets available too, as soon as I get done doing the taxes. Comes from not wanting to limit what you can do with the shader- makes for a bit more learning curve, but I think more value overall. BTW, you also get pinstripes out of weave if you only populate one direction. ;-) Good for grills, esp with 3d and transmap options. Markd

I wish I could offer it to all comers- if I get access to a Mac and the toolset, or lots of people buy the shaders and I have to get a big write off (hint hint ;-), I'll try to support Mac. Markd

Take a look- give them a try! ;-) Markd

Wow! Big improvements! Very nice. I agree that the 'cans (and bags) look a bit large- maybe bring the whole batch down to about 60-70%? Love the shadows of the wires- maybe a bit more bump on the brick buildings to break the shadows up a bit- they are a little too perfect right now. Maybe dull the dumpster down a shade or two.... I had trouble distinguishing what that white shape was- a broken sign? I think because it lines up with the window right behind it. Maybe some reversed lettering (we are seeing the back side, right?) would make it a little clearer? Or move it or the window? Markd

Looking good. . . I'd take the lines off the pavement in the are where the car is- that isn't really a street... maybe some parking space lines. Maybe a storm drain to go with the puddles? Definitely need to beat up the car a bit. Markd

The command you are looking for is in the construct menu- loft. All you need to do is select the two shapes you want linked (In your case the inner edges), and hit loft. Done! Markd

Change the lens type/setting?? . . . I just tried it in C2, and changing the lens type (wide, normal, telephoto, zoom) will mess it up- what worked for me was to set it to zoom at the beginning of the animation (1st key frame), and then move the zoom slider. . . have you tried that? Markd

That branch that comes from the right of the screen and points back to the left- doesn't look quite right- not really a natural tree form. . . Markd
