Tim, You have my sympathies. A friend of mine also bought the Irisvision 24-bit version and has had little use for it other than messing around with the slick demos (esp. the flight stimulator <g>). I've played with it too and he was also under the wrong impression that it could help him with rendering – all it can do is act as a 24-bit display board as far as 3ds is concerned and the included .exp driver would not work with 3ds2 very well. I never found out if they updated the drivers for people who bought the board. I believe it can perform some interesting tricks with autocad models but nothing with 3ds models. Martin
