Want to Test Your Video Card?

[Lin Evans]

Many years ago when the first betas of version 5.7 were introduced - before we had video capabilities, but Igor had introduced 3D transforms and some other neat features, I made this demo of PTE.

For example, to rotate the Earth in orbit around the sun, over 600 PNG images and even more layers were used. Images were manually sequenced using around 2000 keyframes or (keypoints as they were then called). Masks had been introduced and good use were made of them. The demo included snow and water effects, 3D transforms, text effects, etc., and was a challenge for all but the better video cards in those days.

If your system runs this demo smoothly, you can be assured that it will handle most anything done today.
