Re: forcing hidden object shape anim

[Adam Sale <adamsale(at)shaw.ca>]

what about cheating the thing

Have you tried, disabling primary and sceondary rays and leaving the view 
vis on, so it updates through the vid card?
Also, as a last resort, perhaps add a constant shade and make totally 
transparent.

When you render, does this happen, or just with playback?
