- OK dude,
-
- Keep cool, here we go:
-
- - After you're finished setting up your LW anim scene and are ready to record.
- - go in the record menu, select "render display:toaster"
- - select "medium resolution preview (VT4000)" anim type and OK and ignore any
- message that follows.
- - enter a name for your animation in the save anim file requester. You should
- choose to locate the anim in one of your flyer drives here. VERY IMPORTANT, in
- the path window, enter the workbench name of the Flyer drive you want to save the
- anim on, not the DEV name.
- - select automatic render, LW will automatically built a VTASC video clip of your
- 3D anim and save it on the proper Flyer drive.
- - After you're finish, a crouton for your anim should appear in the Files windows
- of the Flyer interface. You can use this clip the same want than a video clip.
-
- Note: They seem to be some playback problem on some anims, mostly when the anim as
- a lot of colors in it (like color gradients,...). after a few frames, your anim
- will stutter and slow down. this will be fix in the final 4.0 realese.
-
- Enjoy,
-
- Thierry.
