#Exit DOS problem
Don, My view is that Autodesk should be responsible for whatever they ship as
part of the 3DS package . Im used to Windows programs that have no problems
with virtual memory. I cant imagine having to exit Photoshop every time it goes
to disk . Design limitations are made to be surpassed as 3DS has done with each
release. Its because 3DS is so outstanding that its few limitations are
disappointing. Heres another wish. Its apparent from the creative and labor
intensive work arounds that users have invented to emulate refractions that
this is a needed feature. Not a ray tracer, of which there are many slow
examples but refraction mapping for selected objects which would maintain speed
while enabling greater realism. I guess Im after that mythical application that
has all the features I need in one program (including plug ins, of course).
