Mark, >> saw some of your stuff in the Special Effects book. Nice! << thank you very much. I hope it has inspired people to use those techniques in their own projects. >> anyway, to run Meshpaint you need a 24 bit card right ? not a 16 bit video card. << I'm not sure. I think you'd be better off with a 24-bit card. I only buy cards that have 4mb VRAM now, but if you can't afford that, at least buy the 2mb VRAM version of a card that can be field-upgraded to 4mb. If you use windows a lot then 4mb is preferable, if you mostly use dos-based programs then 2mb is probably fine. How much should I expect for a pretty good video card with what 2 megs video ram on board ? (or should it be a 4 meg minimum ??) thanks in advance for the info.
