Greetings, I try to visualize a series of vector fields with nicely rendered Glyphs. If I start the sequencer, then the rate with which the different elements of the sequence are displayed is rather small, i.e. the animation is slow. I get a speed up, if I only display 20 pictures: After DX went trhougth them once, it speeds up a bit. However, having more pictures the speed stays small. I guess this has somehow to do with memory, and swapping data to disk/or recomputing it (?) ...
Here is the question: Are there any general guidelines for making animations (using the sequencer) fast? Or: How does it work? Does DX render the data into bitmaps, and then store and redisplay those bitmaps (if you repeat the sequence)? Or does it do the rendering again and again ? What is the bottleneck here (if this can be said on such a general basis)? Any comments welcome. Many thanks, Hans
