1) Amiga programs can send the frames directly to the par drive.
DDR:spaceships/biganim
2) When I render from lightwave I set the save path as DDR:?????
and the par software builds the animation. You have to have the
par software running and click a button that says weather the output
is an animation or single frames.
3) Adpro 2.5 has a built-in loader module. But any other program can
load frames with a button called translate.
4) You can't partition the drive but you can create subdirectories.
5) Par automatically puts anims and stills onto the best part of the disk
for performance.
hope this helps
