Hello.

Could it be possible to speed up the rendering of a movie scene in such way so that only the pixels that are being changed between two frames are getting processed in a second frame?

Regards

now I've got it what you've meant- locking the IK chain in scene mode does the job , it's a great feature. There are some sudden jerky movements of the bones within locked IK Chain when figure is manipulated while IK tool is used, how to prevent it?

Am I missing something here?

Every time when I try to animate some figure there is noticeable sliding   .
Possibility to lock one foot (tied to a bone) in the work space at a time would make animation realistic. 

Can anybody describe some way to achieve that effect please? 

If Anim8or's workspace uses OpenGl renderer with antialiasing why are pictures so much degraded after rendering them with OpenGl render and there is no antialiasing?
Is there any "tweak" inside Anim8or that could make those two pictures the same, editing with some external program can't make it better than how it looks in a workspace.

Greetings,

Is there any way of adding support for "Scanline renderer" in stereo view workspace?
Personally I like it's features more than Art Ray Tracer and it's a bit faster as well.
It would look crazy cool with VR glasses 


(and again- Antialiasing for openGL render output?)

dancingshoes,  I tried to render that panoramic scene into AVI and it gave the same error, win764bit, Anim8or run in XP3 mode.

Why don't you try rendering movie in PNG pictures, then consolidate those pictures into a movie with some external program, it always works great, you can save yourself some time by rendering those pictures only once, and you can add some effects like music etc... I really like Anim8or's speed when it comes to animating, but I can't count the number of my fails when I tried to render full scene into a movie directly.
Please don't anyone understand me wrong, there are some fast codecs that render preview of the movie very fast within An8, but the full scale rendering of HQ scene is  something that should be done perfect and if possible just once. When you render movie into png, even if computer crashes within rendering you can just continue from the next frame- no need to render anything twice.

Btw,
you might increase the length of your scene up to a 400 frames to look more 'fluid'. And how did you take that picture? it's great.

thanks  for the tips, I'd like to achieve the blur within Anim8or.
ENSONIQ5 thanks for the tip about the fog, I forgot it totally  , the easiest solution by far is using fog with the same color as the light, and it does have depth- object is more blurred as it goes far away from camera, works pretty good.
 
I have a problem here: sharp edge of the front side of the fog that appears after rendering with scanline- is it possible to make front edge more grainy? I've tried changing numbers but no luck, it looks OK in opengl render 

I had similar problem with crashes during rendering in video format, solved it by rendering scene in pictures, then I join those pictures into a video with some other program.
No mater how long is the scene it renders every time at the first attempt, never had those crushes since that.
