I use Carrara Studio 3 on a Mac G4 with a Gig of ram. I am creating animations and wonder if there is some kind of graphic accelerator that will speed up the processing. A 12 second animation at 50dpi, 6 fps takes up to 41 hours to process, when a client then makes a change... yikes!

Or is there another modeling program that is affordable and for the Mac that works better or faster? Carrara is a splendid program for still images which still take forever to process, but there are some quirks in the way it deals with animation. For instance, an applied texture can be moved on a surface during animation but not changed to a different texture without changing the texture throughout.

Thank you,
