Is there a way to make the render window open at the size of your picture? Because mine always opens at about a quarter of the size of my pics, and then I have to resize the window to see the whole thing. I know how to change the size of the picture itself, but please tell me there's a way to make it show the whole pic by itself, because resizing the damned window EVERY SINGLE TIME I do a test render gets really old, really fast. I've searched the manual and Carrara Bible and can't find an answer. Did I miss something, or is this just a really dumb design?

Annoying, isn't it ? Sorry, but i don't think there is any solution for that problem :( . I hope it will be fixed in C2 . litst

Bummer. I know it's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but it drives me nuts! Eovia, are you listening? Sometimes it's the small things that make all the difference...

speaking of the rendering room,my pc crashes each time I try to render. Thought it would stop but it didn't.Maybe I should turn to anothersoftware because it is of no use if I can't render my animations

Grafikdon, You may want to contact Eovia on this issue . Have you tried closing every program (Ctrl+Alt+Del) except Explorer and Systray ? Maybe you have some unusual hardware config ? Obviously, this is not normal :( ...

You may want to try the old uninstall/reinstall (if you haven't already). I haven't had any problems, and I'm running a PC with a 533 mhz Celeron and 128 megs of ram, so it's not exactly state of art or anything. Unless your computer's even older and feebler than that, something's not set quite right. It certainly doesn't seem to be any bug inherent to Carrara. As Litst alludes to, maybe something is running in the background, sucking up your resources without you knowing? Or maybe you've got a virus in there... shudder
