Philippe, << Does anybody know if, unlike rel 4, rel 5 will be optimized to work in conjunction with Matrox Impression's OpenGL driver? >> Nothing much has been said on that yet. But a lot of use are hoping… << I am considering the purchase of a Matrox 64bit MGA Ultima, which does not support that kind of technology. Is OpenGL the wave of the future? >> It is *my* opinion that OpenGL is the future. << Does it have anything to do with rendering speed? >> No, OpenGL will not speed up rendering. But it does speed up realtime previews. I have no idea if you could save a OpenGL created preview animation. Does anyone have any idea? Mark
