Preview not working?
Posted by Nate Whited on July 15, 2008 at 9:15 pmOnly about half of the emitters will play in my preview window. Is this normal or am I missing a setting somewhere?

July 15, 2008 at 9:30 pmOpen the Project Settings dialog and look at the framerate. If it’s not 30.00, some emitters may not show and you’ll need to tweak the “number” property for these. There are typically just a few emitters in any one library (at most) that do this though — most are not very sensitive to different framerates.
1/2 not working? Very unusual.

July 15, 2008 at 10:09 pmMake sure you’re using the latest version (3.0.3 on Windows), 3.0.6 on Mac.

July 16, 2008 at 2:08 pmI am running 3.0.5.
Today I went to open the software and I get nothing. Just a blank screen. As soon as I try to start something it crashes. I tried to load the software but with the same result.

July 16, 2008 at 2:25 pmNot sure what you mean by “blank screen”, but try deleting your preferences file. It’s:
/ Library / Prefrences / pIllusion3.prefs After you delete that file pI3 should work fine.
