Quote - This is why I'm working so hard, not on the materials, but on the exporter. I am at the point where I can change settings, click one button, and see results in less than 5 seconds. I had to go buy a $1200 computer to get to that point, but I'm there.

 
Is that because of your CPU or GPU. I read that you got one of the higher end ATI cards. If it is GPU. Your times would be better than the average users times. Or have I read your statement the wrong way and it's just the exporting of info and not the OpenGL. in seeing the results.
