"Are you saying that I have to upgrade to ver 4.0 to get the vibrant drivers
for a card that I bought last summer to render properly."
no no! This is the deal. Starting with 3DS3, Vibrant supplied a slew of
drivers that shipped with 3D Studio. This supplemented the ADI technique of
supporting cards, where the manufacturer of the graphics card was responsible
for the driver. Release 3 and 4 can use any of the Vibrant Inline drivers,
although you would expect the very latest drivers to be the best, particularly
if you have a new card that wasn't supported a year or so ago.
Whenever Vibrant gives Autodesk the latest drivers, they're posted here as
VIB3DS.ZIP. Download them, rename (back up) your old VIBRANT.RES and
VIB3DS.VLM files, and unzip the VIB3DS.ZIP into your \3DS4 directory. You do
not need R4 to use the latest drivers.
