Faster Renderer!!

Once I was rendering a short movie on my dual core CPU and I was in a rush... So I opened Anim8or twice and I started rendering frames 0-150 in one window and frames 150-300 in the other... Both cores were used 100% and the rendering was twice as fast, but the computer was frozen...

So... the answer is 'yes', there is a way how to go around it...

oke, thanks. I will try the method, to bad that doesn't really work with pics =(
But still worth a try.

thecolclough:
so i guess if you've got a quad-core (snap, floyd, i've got a 2.4ghz quad too), then to get optimum performance, you have to have four instances of anim8or running, and split your scene into four parts?  imagine how confusing this could get once we have to deal with octo-core or 16-core processors!!!  :P

DressedForSucess:
Yes. CPU is a good thing to consider.

But memory? A faster RAM would help of course, right - or is it just the way Anim8or is built?

Ive built a really good set of models and i dont want to lose the work because anin8or can render it with shadows :(

which is another point ... I wished Volume Shadows could be fixed. Its been tempermental ever since v96 :(

Actually, I've been using Anim8or off-n-on for six years or more, and have NEVER known Volume Shadows to work!

And or course, more RAM is always better, especially when you consider that some scenes may be VERY complex in and of themselves, and take a substantial portion of RAM just to capture the models!
