Figure 20-78: The Preview window in Sasquatch is easy to set up, and a real time-saver.
Both SasLite and Sasquatch render little
straight lines when they make fibers. These
look curved, but, like a polygon, really
aren't. In SasLite, the number of curves is
fixed. If there aren't enough for the coarse-
ness and frizziness you have chosen, you
might see the lines. Much more commonly,
there are many more than you need, espe-
cially if you are making fairly straight fibers.
But you are going to render them all any-
way because you can't change the number.
In Sasquatch, you can edit the Fiber
Divisions number, so you aren't rendering
any more segments than you need to. Once
again, this can save quite a bit of time over
a long animation.
In fact, Sasquatch can save you so much
time that, if you have clients, and time is
money, it will probably pay for itself in short
order. And that's without all the extra
capabilities!
However, let's talk about those for a few
moments.
