Hi Sus, (sorry John, I lost the original message) In case you weren't aware of it, check your 3ds.set file to turn "Last Rendered Image" on. This will allow you to call up your last rendering with the Render/View/Last command on your VGA monitor. You can't simultaneously view the image and model, but at least it's there for reference. I own a Targa+64 framebuffer card like John mentioned. Some of my output is for video, and the Targa outputs to a regular TV monitor, which is important for checking for proper NTSC colors, etc. Even if your not going out to video, it's nice to render to it because the image stays on the TV monitor until flushed out by another image. You can also display your F5 Materials Editor spheres on the framebuffer. Paul S.
