RE: FLASH: [OT] Swift 3D

[Brack, Jeremy]

did you goto the top secret customer site for Swift?

they have a newer version available with faster rendering..

its still a bit slow, but its not bad.


Also if you reduce the polygons/triangles before you import to Swift 3D, you

will have faster rendering.

make it work, although I still have a bit to figure out because rendering

even 20 frames of a single word takes upwards of 3 hours! Am I doing

something wrong or could I streamline somehow? I'm only using area

shading...

seriously shopping for a dual P3 650. And a half a gig of RAM. Heehee well

maybe I was just looking for an excuse.
