To any users of Autovision: I need help!! I have been experiencing an Autovision Nightmare. First of all is there any way to speed the thing up without having to use only the AVE render or Quick render. I am use to the 3DS phong rendering and I can't believe how slow Autovision is when in eighter of it's ray tracing modes. I am working off of a Gateway 2000 4DX-66v. The graphics card is the ATI Ultra Pro with 1MG of VRam. The other major problem is that the ACADR12 locks up when ever I attempt to render anything more complex then a soapbox. I like being able to work inside Autocad but after losing several hours work my paients are a little thin. I have tried to lowering the res. down to 800×640, but then the material editor will not show the materials correctly on the sphere. The rendering driver is a Vibrant Graphics DLXpress.exp. If any one has a suggestion as to how to enhance proformance I would like to here from you. I know I could get a second meg of vram and several more megs of ram and it run better. I was hoping that there might be another way other then a hardware solution. , Mark in Beantown
