Can I use PowerPlugs: Transitions without 3D acceleration hardware?
Yes. Now 3D Acceleration hardware is a recommendation and not a requirement. All that is needed is a fast PC or – even better – a 3D graphics acceleration chip or board with 4 MB or more of video RAM. This is not required, but is very useful for speeding up the effects creation process. With a 3D acceleration chip or board, rendering times are completely eliminated. But without 3D acceleration hardware, rendering times are dependent on hardware speed. For example, rendering times of four minutes per 3D effect is about average for a 166 MHz laptop PC, rendering the effects at 800 x 600 resolution at 15 frames per second.
