the light position from a camera that is situated in the middle of the left/right cameras.<BR> For this reason, the result of the lighting calculation will be slightly different from the result of calculating the light position from the separate left/right cameras. This will have some impact on the diffuse component and the non-NV specular components for point lights and spot lights. The impact will be particularly large on the diffuse component and the LN specular component when the light and the model are close together and the camera comes near. 598</li> 599<li>The FPS display will be slightly different from 60.<BR>Because the VSync interval is 59.831Hz for both the upper and lower LCD screens on the CTR, the display on the Viewer will not be exactly 60 either.<BR> Refer to the hardware documentation for details.<BR> 600<li>A maximum of 128 animations can be configured in a single animation set.<BR> Since the animation set can only take up to 128 animations, even if more animations are set there they will not show up in the Viewer.<BR> Additions may be made to the Initial Settings File in the future.<BR> 601</li> 602</li> 603</ul> 604<table border="0" height="100%"><tr><td style="background-color : white;"></td></tr></table> 605 606<hr><p>CONFIDENTIAL</p></body> 607</html> 608 609
