Is working in SreeD a bad thing? I ask this because it seems to cure some issues I am having with drivers and my new card. I have always had the preview window set to opengl so I am wondering what effects working in SreeD would do?

No bad effects AFAIK. SreeD just uses your CPU to do what your GPU does in OpenGL. So it's usually a lot slower but also gets rid of any driver or other bugs your GPU may be having..

I would just go ahead and try the new nVIDIA driver (or any older one that worked for you)

the big difference is that SreeD doesn't display transmaps at all. and the lighting is no where near as accurate but frankly if it works better for you for posing than thats what you should use. its only display mode, has nothing to do with final render.

What exactly is SreeD spelled backwards?

That should answer all your questions.

if you have a fast system, like, a really fast system (min core duo with 3 gb of memory), then it's actually not too bad.

XP or Vista?
Don't know if you're aware but unless it's a 64 bit OS, then only the first 3 gig of RAM will be counted.

either way, that's fast enough for sreed

SreeD was created for Bryce (from Real Worlds Bryce 4).  It's slower and doesn't handle transparency but if you've used Bryce, you are actually familiar with it.
