Hi, I've used animation master for a number of projects, and feel relatively comfortable with modeling and animating objects. Recently I have run into a problem when I try and copy and paste a model inside the same object. For example, I'm making an auditorium with about 200 chairs in it. I created the original chair then copied all the points and splines and pasted it next to the original chair. I kept this up and then started doing it by rows of 15 chairs. after creating about 7 rows with 15 chairs in each my computer takes forever to copy even one chair. If I click somewhere to begin creating another point, it pauses for about 2 min before reacting. Are there just too many splines for Animation master to deal with, or is there a better way to set this up? Would it be better to add multiple copies of the same object into the choreography and build my rows there? I uploaded the project file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Bruce p.s. I'm on a Macbook Pro 2 Ghz dual core. 2GB of ram, with Animation master v15 running on leopard. Church_stage_1.prj

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. That is really helpful. I will probably do a low res for a website and a high quality one for video. I hadn't got around to animating the flight path and camera angles yet, but thanks. Would you mind sending me the project file so I can see where you placed the lights. Thanks man!

Hi, I'm in the middle of an animation project for a friend. This is an intro movie for his ministry. The camera flies past all the names of the countries he is ministrering in then into a room with some sort of logo. I have the walls as white as I'm going for avery clean modern look. This is my first go at this sort of thing and I was wanting to see if there was any ideas out there for lighting a white room like this one. So far I've got the names walls more or less where I want them. I started adding some lights but couldn't really get a good realistic feel to the image. I've attached the project file. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks. -Bruce world_revival_ministries.prj
