trueSpace 2.0 is not exactly a video intensive application. Even a small model typically requires a lot of computing ( CPU time ) which therefore tends to be much greater than the time to display the result on the screen (through the video card). However, there are video cards that can take over a large portion of the computation. But the question is whether trueSpace displays wireframe animations at rate that is comfortable to view, or at a standard rate such as NTSC, PAL or as fast as possible? Does trueSpace attempt to control the rate (frames per sec) ? Can someone from Caligari clarify?
