Ok, I need some help everyone. Whenever I create an animation in Poser it isn't smooth. Even at high frame rates, the animation comes out looking choppy. A look at the Forge trailer shows that the animation can be smoothed out so what am I doing wrong? Even a simple animation (moving a box sideways) isn't smooth.

I think that if you set a frame rate higher than your hardware can display, it will skip frames to attempt to make a 10 second clip only run for 10 seconds. I currently have the best results running about 12 frames/sec, but I don't have my machine decked out yet. The store still owes me 64meg (total 128meg) but until my radiator died last night I was gonna pay a wee bit extra to go directly to 256meg. After I get that, I will do a few more clips to see if I get better results. What hardware do you have? I have an 800mhz Athlon with 64meg (my board will handle 1gig, but I don't gots that much moey now...)

I encountered this problem last week. I run a Mac system. It turned out that an extention to my video card was accidentally disabled. Even if you run on another platform, check to make certain that all your video card software is in place.

I don't know, I am not sure if I want to know... At one point I had a machine that had a Zip drive, a sound card, and a CD burner. I could easily get any 2 out of the three to work. Getting all three to work at the same time eluded me. Then (as far as I can tell) someone put a common 3.5" floppy into the Zip drive, so I no longer have the concern of getting the Zip drive to work with all of the others...
