Windows 7 64bit may be the problem?

I obtain 9,2 fps with Hardware Acceleration activated

[Fernando Briamo]

My Graphics Card is Radeon HD4890 Vapor-X 1GB
I think that the VGA can do the playback because I use also BluRay and I have no problem.

In the particle I work not with AVI (I tried it too) but with sequence of frames TGA or TIFF or PNG @ 1920×1080
It recognizee the sequence but after does not work with it smoothly.

I tried to import frames Jpeg @ 640×480 but nothing changes.
I work in After Effects CS4 with very complex movie sequences @ 1920×1080 and I have not any problem of slowness.

I do not understand!

Nothing to do?

The problem of slow BG is for both versions.

[Fernando Briamo]

Sorry but in the directory of Particle Illusion 3.0 I have one only executable.
In any way I updated another time to 3.0.4
BG is very very slow in any way and the errors I receive when I try to render are successively 1) “Could not create File Writer Filter” 2) “Could not find an acceptable Pixel Format” 3) “Can’t creat OpenGL context”. Only disabling Hardware Acceleration on PillusionRender then decides to start.
But the principal problem is the impossibility to work with a Background Images. Too slow to scroll the timeline.

Particle Illusion 3.0 has one executable file that is particleillusion.exe and so the application is only one to do anything…emitters editing and rendering.
In the Particle Illusion 3.0 I have only one broblem that is the BG extremly slow to playback also before load any emitter. BG tested with all formats from AVI to sequance of frames (TGA, BMP, PNG…)

Particle Illusions 3.0.4 works not only on one executable but when I start the rendering it opens pillusion render window that is another application of the principal software Particle Illsuion 3.0.4
In this version of particle Illsuion I have the same problem for BG and also the problem of rendering when it starts pillusion render to finalize.

I accept to work also on 3.0 but I want at least that the playback on BG is more faster and not frame by frame. Is not possible even to move the track on the movie because thereby the movie start to skip as if the Hardware Requirements for the software were not met.

(correct message..please remove previous message)

Any possible solution?

[Fernando Briamo]

I’m talking for version 3.0.4 about PIllusion Render for the problem of Rendering where the Hardware Acceleration must set to off to work correctly.
In PIllusion 3.0 the rendering works without any problem. In 3.0.4 I receive three different consequential errors and rendering stopped or produces black screens on frames sequence.

In version 3.0 I have not any rendering problem but the BG is very very slow to playback. This happens also in 3.0.4.

For skipping frames I mean that the motion playback is not fluid.
