Damn, well, that’s not the end of the world I guess lol, you’d think this super machine of mine would be able to run AE and windows media player both at the same time though . . . an extra gig of ram per core would probably have helped.
I wonder if I can restrict AE some other way perhaps in windows itself, perhaps assigning sepperate threads to the sound card somehow? . .

Hey Dave.
I don’t ahave a great deal of ram it’s true, just 12 gig that was the most I could fit on to this motherboard, the i7 processor has 4 core’s and 8 threads, so I’m under on Ram, not much I can do about that.
How do you limit the amount of cores AE can use? if I could do that I’m sure it would help, but I can find no such settings in CS3, would I need a script perhaps?

I seem to be on the right track now, layer was switched to 3d.
Have to say this is an awsome plugin, top job Zaxwerks. 😉

Ah haaa,
I have my comp camera’s zoom and z position linked to a slider that plls the two in oposit directions (to create that extruded zoom/camera pull type efffect) It was the camera distance that was causing the problem, I had no idea tht could happen, thanks Serge!
One more question. .
Can you use more than three warps within the 3d warps plugin itself? idealy I’d like to be creating shapes that have closer to 24 warps on a single layer.
If that isn’t possible, do you know of a workaround?

Hey Serge.
I’m not using invigorator I’m using 3D warps, but the steps you described are exactlly the ones I used and what I would have expected to work, but they don’t. . . weird, there are only these two options that I can find that would make any difference, the 3D layer obviously I tried both on/off and use comp camera again both on/off niether of them make the blind est bit of difference 🙁
Youd think that if invigorator worked in this way then 3D Warps would also, but I’ll be darned if I can figure out how.

Right, so I got te shape that I was aiming for, but I’m still confused about the Orbit tool and the overly longthy processing time if anyone can help?

I know, I’m a sound engineer 😉
EDD: If they’re synth based effects as apposed to manipulated samples etc or found sounds, you might be better off creating your own FX using a plugin, however I can’t see the video you’ve posted so I’m just guessing.
Care to post the link on it’s own?

This is just a guess as I’m far from experienced, however I had a similar issue yesterday, it was caused by Nucleo pro, switched off nucleo pro and my preview went back up to the 1 min plus mark.
You could also try increasing your page file size (If you haven’t already) to the recommended size, that’s twice your amount of ram 32 gig.
Remember to purge your memory between renders also.

Thanks Kevin.
Todd did say did say adding more Ram wasn’t going to get me anywhere I just find it worrying, I was about to splash out on 32 gig of Ram then he made me think twice.
I’m trying to ascertain if I really need any extra ram at all (I find this is going against the accepted rule of thumb) the specs that people are currently going for are something like (8 cores – 32 gig of ram).
I know Todd feels like I’m repeating myself here but you have to admit it does seem odd, the recommendations I’ve read on the forums here are that you should install 4 gig per core, here I find my machine would actually only use 1 gig per core (at a push) I could install 8 core’s and run this project quite happily with only 8 gig of ram and still have ram left over!
Do you see what I mean?
