6GB of RAM is not adequate. If you can afford it upgrade to at least 16GB preferably 32GB or more.
[Neil Orman] “I had one question from what you said. How do you get that dialog box to come up to adjust the quality settings, the one that says “Ray-traced 3D Renderer Options?””
From the Composition menu select Composition Settings and click the Advanced tab, then click the Options button.

If you are using Ray-traced 3D to produce the titles it may be that the quality settings are too low. Try increasing the number to 7 or 8.
Ray-tracing in After Effects has been replaced by Cinema 4D as the preferred method of working with 3D graphics.
Ray-tracing in After Effects can be accelerated in hardware with an nVidia graphics card that supports CUDA. If you do not have one of these there is no point installing the CUDA driver. Absent one of these cards the task of ray-traced processing falls to the CPU.
Your system is adequate, though you could purchase a CUDA graphics card to improve Ray-tracing speed.
Aside from the RAM spec which appears incomplete, your computer should be up to the task. After Effects loves RAM adding more is one way to improve rendering times, particularly when multi-processing is implemented – unfortunately the Ray-Traced 3D rendered does not support multi-processing.

Look up data moshing.
Here is a tutorial:

Assuming a 100 pixel diameter circle, set the position of the ellipse path to -100 on the y axis. Then apply the repeater.

Would something like this work? I added scale as well as position and played with the offsets.

[Kendall Shaw] “how can one estimate whether or not their video for playback on computer will play smoothly on a roughly average computing platform”
I don’t think there’s a single metric since many factors influence video performance, including but not limited to: video dimensions, codec, bit rate, potential hardware bottlenecks: GPU, RAM, bus and disk speed.

Are you applying suretarget to a 3D null named “SureTarget”?
It works for me, see:

[Linus Nilsson] “Adobe Support are real jerks that don’t respond to emails. I have waited over a month”
I don’t agree with that characterization of Adobe support, while it can be frustrating dealing with this sort of problem – Todd responded to your problem quickly and on Christmas day!
