**************************************************** * CompuServe would not respond * **************************************************** Hey Mark, I've spend close to an hour messing around with display settings for you, heres what I've come up with. With 3DS R2 I think the best display setting your going to get are 640X480X256 in the Render and Editor and 320X200X256 in the Materials editor. But you can try upping them your self. My release 2 is on a notebook which makes display setting even more complicated. If all this just messes up your system it is reversible. First got into the autoexec.bat file at the C:\ type "EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT" in the Autoexec add the line "SET "RCPADI=C:\3DS2\DRIVERS\RCPVESA.EXP" (use the correct directory on your system). Save, exit, Reboot. Go into the 3DS directory and delete the 3DADI.CFG file "DEL 3DADI.CFG". This is the display resolution setting file. Now type "EDIT 3DS.SET" in the set file unremark the DISPLAY = lines (delete the ;). they are the three lines you sent me EX: "RENDER-DISPLAY= RCPADI". Make sure all three = RCPADI. Save, exit, start 3DStudio. You will be prompted to select the display settings you can pick from 640X400, 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768. It will ask you 3 time one for each section of 3DS (Render, Materials, Editor). I couldn't get any of the 4 settings to work in the Editor of Materials Editor. The Render worked fine though in all four modes. Render is the most important high res setting after all. Each time you want to change the display settings you'll have to delete that 3dadi.cfg file. If after trying all the settings and none work got back to the 3DS.set file and remark the materials and editor lines. If even your render doesn't work remark that out too. Let me know what happiness. Dave Winters (Rusty's son) Video Construction Derry, NH (skiing is OK but rather be where you are!)
