Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 30 8:14 pm)
i want to make movies with lots of trees and water (similar to what is in the demo video for Vue...of course not that extensive, but simlar. I am also using Max so I'll have animated characters that I'm making inside fo the Vue scenery.
I don't care AS MUCH about render time, as I do the ability to manipulate objects inside of the VUE interface.
If I up my RAM to 2 Gigs, do I have a chance of being able to move things around freely in Vue without major slowdown????????? Please advise!!
Your manipulation problems are sue to insufficient video card memory.
You'll need to play with both Vue's and your card's display options.
One thing that should help is to switch to wireframe only.
As far a system memory is concerned, like just about all 3D related programs, the more you have the better you'll get on.
Remember that if your using Vue in integrated mode, Max will consume memory as well as Vue, which will affect the size/complexity of scene you'll be able to deal with compared to Vue or Max alone.
System RAM : 1.5GB
VRAM : 128MB
I find it fairly easy to consume this, but it'll have to do until I move to a 64 bit system.
I found I had (oddly enough) turn off Vue's OpenGL polygon limit option to cure jerkiness with my card (plus the usual fiddling with the driver options).
Laptops generally have poor OpenGL implementions.

I have a 64 MB Radeon card. I am trying the Vue xStream personal learning edition.
It's virutally unuseable in my machine. I've run Bryce with relatively decent results. But Vue........ it brings my whole machine to a crawl. A simple scene with water and one tree and a mountain... and I'm frozen.
