Hi, I have a dell core2duo, 2.6, I have three gigs but I believe I need to change something in the boot ini folder?

Can you please advice me what to do, and if this in my case is going to help? I use a lot of zaxwerk 3d plugins and need to speed things up.
Thx & regards,

One fact which can not be overlooked and which is a very big difference between the two programs is that Invigorator uses KEYFRAMES inside of AE to animate the model (logos for instance), Proanimator does not use keyframes to animate, so the animation is done in proanimator with POSES (not keyframes). Both programs though can use AE cameras to fly around the model etc.

The proanimator poses are very easy to use and you can make very complex animation by just modifying one of the presets. You can make all letters of a 3d logo move indepently etc.

To do this in Invigorator (animating letters separatly) can be way more time consuming as you will have to keyframe every move of each letter separate, incl. motion paths ease ins & outs etc. But then again, if you choose to do this you can keyframe more precise movements then in proanimator.

For logo animation (where letters move separatly) I would use proanimator, for single 3d objects I would use invigorator, or logos where the word as one moves (not separae letters) I would also use invigorator.

I also would like to mention that if you know how to work with keyframe in AE the working inside of proanimtor with the pose system should not be a problem, I actually find the pose system much more users fiendly then keyframing.

Best would be, GET BOTH! They are great!

Hi, Thnx for the tip about the 3 gigs.

I want to change from 2 gigs to three gigs. I checked inf. on the web and understand that I can do this in the boot.ini flder.

I also understand that it can mess up the computer if you do it wrong.

Could you advice the correct way to apply the 3 gigs in the boot.ini folder.

Regards,

I don’t believe lights can move inside of proanimator but you can import a reflection map (comes with the program) into AE, then in Proanimator select it as a layermap for the reflection when you apply your colors. Then animate the layer map from left to right (inside the AE proanimator layer).
This will make it appear as if the lights are moving, but actually the shadows of the layermap are moving.
You can also turn on comp lights and just animate the AE lights. The only thing is that AE lights do not cast shadows on other Proanimator 3d objects which is a big disadvantage especially when you like shadows as it gives a good look.
If there is an other way I would love to hear about it.

I hope this helps a bit.
