M90 Review…Photoworks/Animator

Yesterday afternoon I met with a local SolidWorks guru to get some pointers on the melding of PhotoWorks and Animator. The M90, working off of the battery, performed quite well (or at least I think it did). Rendering time was less than 10 seconds/frame. Granted the rendering time is highly dependant on a number of factors, but I was pleased as, I believe, was "The Guru". The power usage didn’t seem overly taxing. I had about 60% battery life left after an hour of work with the processors cranking for most of the time. Thanks, again, for your help Adam.

On a side note, watch out when you’re working with animator. Even with ‘Disable View Key Creation’ checked, it still created them. Thankfully, the animation we were working with was only a quick demo I’d done and not a final product! We did end up with an "interesting" animation though…

Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to try out on the M90. I want to be sure that I completely review this machine.
