I am rendering LW framestores directly to PAR on my A4000.  In my current
animation I set up a series of single polygons to morph into a series
of single polygon letters for a logo.  The morph works OK for all the
letters except one, which suddenly disappears when the morph amount
reaches 94%.  (I was using an envelope to effect the morph at first, but
when I saw the problem I switched to manual and that's how I figured out
that the vanishing act starts at 94%).

   Even this problem letter looks like it's morphing normally before it
hits 94%.  The morphing polygon and its target are planar and pointed
in the right way.  The Morph Surfaces option is not activated.  There IS
a dissolve envelope active for the morphing polygon, but the dissolve
doesn't start until about 20 frames after the morph ends; and anyway,
this polygon disappears totally from one rendered frame to the next, not
like a dissolve at all!

   Does anybody have any ideas about why this might be happening?
