if your looking to learn any type of 3d animation then maxon are giving a 1 year trial on the newest release of cinema 4d at the moment. it was the first 3d program i learned and there is a ton of documentation and tutorials by some great people out there from basic to advanced.

if you are looking to get into motion graphics freelance or as a career i would advise using after effects, i know its not cheap but it is pretty wide spread in the industry.

hope that helps a little.

nope i do have a sufficient amount of ram.

it seems to be unziped fine an i am no longer getting that error although when i click on the setup it appears to launch but nothing loads its really strange :S.

you could try using a 3d program like cinema or blender to create a couple of variations of the money then use this as a custom particle inside trapcode particular for example.

search custom particle trapcode 🙂

or instead of your 3d program u may be able to use and image in after effects with the turbulent displacement effect.

hope this helps im kinda new to all this so there maybe a better way.

Hey Dave,

Just tried that and still hasn’t worked.

this is really strange as my friend has the same version of after effects on his 65 bit vista machine and he can see up to 3GB of RAM per core.

Maybe i need to edit the preferences file?

i’m starting to think that it was a bit of a bad idea to order the 32GB :S

Yeh just downloaded and installed the new update and it is still not giving me the option to use more than 2.09GB per core (see attached image)

not only that my machine does not seem to perform as well within after effects, for example.

rendering the same comp then 8GB of ram seemed to do this with a lot less trouble

where as now it seems to be lagging hugely.

strange

ok thanks for the tips,

how ever where you say “6 cores x 4GB”

do you mean in the memory and multi processing setting i set the RAM per core value to 4GB?

because it is only allowing me to set it to 2.09 maximum
