We really haven''t enhanced this area too much since it was initially implemented in XSI. Until I wrote this blog I didn''t realize that so many users were unfamiliar with this feature so perhaps we will have more incentive to make this more automatic in the future. Sometimes when we don''t get comments or requests for a particular feature we just assume users are happy with it. ;-) Of course, I can''t comment on future development plans and priorities and we may also decide to concentrate our development efforts elsewhere in future XSI versions.

It works great, although I have to wonder why all of these steps aren''t just incorporated "under the hood" of the "real time" playback option. Mike Brent,

Thx very much for the detailed steps on fast playback.

It works great, although I have to wonder why all of these steps aren”t just incorporated “under the hood” of the “real time” playback option.

Have you increased the "Cache Size" slider and/or switched to wireframe caching to save memory? I would suggest reading the last two paragraphs again.
