Hi all. I have been working hard on a project with my Candlelit Hallway and my robed.....man?
I have been using Anim8or V0.98 and have been dubious about switching to V1.0 but after seeing it contains a "Fast AA" setting for rendering, thought I'd give it a try.
Firstly, in V0.98 I have been rendering using ART at an AA setting of 4 and 16:9-1280 x 720. Some really close up talking and facial expressions have taken an hour per frame to render. I've also had a problem with unexpected jumps after rendering. When I do an Open GL render, everything flows smoothly but when I render say 10 - 35 followed by 36 - 70, ocassionally eg 35 & 36 don't match exactly, hardly noticeable at times but others pretty bad. Anyone experienced this or have any ideas?

Now, about Anim8or V1.0.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and find it all works....until I hit Scene mode....Anim8or has stopped working and needs to close. I tried a new empty file and go to Scene mode no problem. If I try and import my hallway scene.....Anim8or has stopped working and....well, you know! I'd really appreciate any advice on any of the above or possibly faster ways to render...without jumps
Thanks in advance, Ian

anim8or renders frames from zero onwards , so ideally you should start frame0 to 10 then 11 to 35 followed by 36 to 70.

Have no idea regards windows 8 bypassed that version and am using windoiws 10 without any problems.

Try  version 1.0b.See if you have the same problems.

Thanks a lot for the advice guys. I do render from 0, it was just an example. Sometimes the transition between two frames is not smooth. I have tried V1.0b but it also crashes when I enter scene mode. Maybe the scenes too complex?
Thanks again

Where is the fast AA render option?

AA settings, left lower corner . I think it's "on" by default ??

I use the latest build. It did to mee too. I think I figured out what the problem is. My project was 35 MB at the point the problem accured, but I think the size is not the problem here. When I was in the Scene mode in Wireframe shaded view, everything was Ok ( although a little bit freezy, despite computer's 8 GB RAM ). But, when I changed to the flat shaded view Anim8or crashed !!! Thankfully, the project was saved at the right point and nothing was lost. Then, although I couldn't understand what exactly happened and I did the same mistake again. From wireframe to flat shaded ->> crash !!! Only then I changed from wireframe to solid shaded view and no problem. I forget about it for a day or two and the next time it happend again, but... I almost lost the whole work !!! Suddenly I couldn't go from Object Mode to the Scene Mode at all... crash again. Maybe Anim8or remembered the shader settings ( flat shaded ) and that's why I couldn't get into Scene Mode . I oppened the project in the old good v.0.97d and it worked !!! That means the project was not corrupted. Opening a new empty scene ( new project ) was possible too, but turning to the project scene, crushed it again. Finally, I think I found the problem... it's the new shading settings - >> GLSL. Changing to the old ARB or turning them off fixes the problem

Thanks Gyperboloid.

(Took me a while to find it because its only in Render-->AA Setup   when ART is selected as the renderer  )
