Arrgh. After recieving some gracious help on this forum, and spending hours upon hours upon hours texturing, morphing, creating, keyframing, and all, my scene - which is ready to be animated, isn't rendering! Whenever I put in 'make movie', set all my settings, and all that, it says, "Writing Movie File" or something in the little box, but that's it, just freezes right there. I gave it ample time to do something. I've had experience with this problem before. But I've never done a scene of this magnitude with physical backdrops, lots of lighting, and everything. Usually I just restart my computer, then after all the memory is freed up, just go straight to the file and render the animation. No problem. But no matter how much I restart, it just won't work. I tried with different settings, I tried turning anti-alias off, keeping the 2d motion blur settings off,. My system is a P700 with 512mb ram. My software is Poser Pro, I have the latest upgrades. The resolution of the animation (if it helps) is 640x306. I've had problems animating before. I tried just rendering BMP files instead, and it still won't go. BUT, when I just do a test render (just plain render, not making the movie) with all settings the same, it takes about 3.5 minutes to load lighting and all, but it DOES it, with no problem. I suppose I could render it frame by frame, but that would be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY annoying! :D Anyone able to offer up any advice?
