I've been playing around with animation for quite awhile in P4. With a recent RAM upgrade to 1gb, I can now take animation seriously in P5. Thing I'm wondering is, when I do a clip using lipsyncing from Mimic3, should I clear the sound before making the movie and then edit it back in with a video editor? I'm wondering if this will help speed up P5's movie exporting process. I've already learned about removing geometry from the scene that is not in view of the camera. Not to mention turning off bump maps and cast shadows. P4 moved a lot quicker but, P5's material room is too cool to ignore for added effects! Also, a tip for 'frozen' renders/animations: When my computer seems to be froze during rendering, sometimes if I just click ONCE in a grey area of the screen then after about 20 seconds the render will continue. Note: this might not work for everyone but, it sure beats resetting the computer/Poser and losing data! Sad to say, it's usually just about being patient, my most lacking attribute ;)
