Wow, thanks so much! It’s nice to get feedback like that 🙂 It was quite the undertaking, if I could somehow get a crew I think the idea could be turned into a feature, but I was largely a 1 man band wth no budget so I did what I could. I agree about the focus issues, I was still getting used to the follow focus that i had and it was often hard to get a good read out of the lcd on the back of the camera. To be honest I hadnt caught the eyeline problem in the cafe, I hope it wasnt too distracting. I put a lot into making this, please share the link with people if you liked it! 🙂

if you are looking to save money, just keep the standard 7300 card (get the 256 though) the x1900 did not have a significant jump in preformance as far as I could tell. I bought one and returned it because i was very unimpressed with it. I currently use the 7300 with only 128 and a 7300 with 256, my system with the 256 is a little better, not sure what the price difference is. of course if money is no object, get the x1900 because it has 512 vram and at the very least that will help you i motion 3 with the 3d stuff and doing hidef res

wrong wrong wrong wrong, wrong wrong wrong wrong, you’re wrong!
In fact, there are people that are flashing the bios (on the video card not the motherboard) of PC cards and getting them to work. There is also a couple of 7800s people are able to get working because it has the same chipset as the old quadros apple is price gouging. There is nothing “bleeding edge” about selling video cards from 2 years ago for $400.

although, now that i think of it, you could just fake it with replicators. I’m not sure how, but I know you would be able to.

You can’t. You would have to use an advanced particle system like cinema 4d’s thinking particles

apple puts some software on the video card bios that allows it to be recognized as an official apple card. Basically it’s price gouging. You can google easily and find a few people that will give you the ROM so that you can flash a PC version of the X1900, however it’s not full proof. I just got boot camp working this weekend also, so I may just put a pc card in and see if it will boot with it into windows (i’m not sure if the mac pro bios is what reads the video card bios or if it’s software within osx)

Isn’t the x1900 old too? Should I just wait to see if something new comes out?
-
OK, I’ve been hearing that for years, that software developers were going to start using the powerful GPUs available, so Motion actually does that now?
I guess that leads me to my next question, am I STUCK getting an apple authorized video card?

Imagine that, it is called “growing” ha ha, thanks for the tut. That was painfully keyframe intensive. I was hoping that there was some trick to it that I wasn’t aware of, oh well, looks like it’s keyframing time
