#2 questions
Message #12772
Here are a couple of unrelated questions that popped up while I was working on something recently. 1) I rotated a fairly large plane I was using to make some clouds and the got a "world octree is too large" error message when I tried to render. Rotating the plane…
>>The official announcement has not yet been made, Steve's waiting to do that in his Newsletter. But, they are available. You can order them now.
>>I have used the SUDS program before when using POV-Ray and thought of it during this project. But I never took the time to convert from POV language to Imagine placement.
GreG: Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Michael
>>Hey, someone who didn't need my user-friendly signature to refer to me by name! Thanks!

>> The simms aren't that bad, but plugging a VLB card into a new motherboard can be sort of scary. To plug in a simm I just angle it in to get the connector edge lined up in the slot and push it up until it pops in.
>>BTW is there any special proceedures to installing memory, or do you just plug in the new boards and turn on your computer?
>>True, it is hard to generalize. What was the original question anyways?
>>that is more optimised for my needs. I will undoubtedly upgrade to ImagineX.X or maybe AM by hash.
>> >> I think that POv is a lot easier to use under memory restrictions like this, but you'll find the modelers available for it to be pretty restricted after using Imagine. Anyways what I was going to say is you can't really say Imagine or pov has better textures,…
