A bit late for your help, but I built a P4 3.02, Asus P4PE, + Nvdia Gainward card, ram is pc-2700-3GB, Vue 4.12 works fine, no "major" problems, hope it helps.

Well done Scott, even though you must be "up north" nice image/scene/colours of the Opera house/Sydney. Congrats as well.

My mistake it seems. Vue did not seem to import one object side(poly), with multiple name/mapped details, when remapped with a different LW name and re-tex'd, all ok. My apologies for your time and thanks for the advice anyway. Ta again.

Ta everyone, yep this is actually a box(as just testing some textures and model from Lightwave to Vue), four sided, and no bump map. Image appears a-ok in poser, so unless the LW mapping is screwed or Vue / ahmmmm me, is having a problem as such. am keep on keeping on. ta again all.

Likewise congrats to all the winners, impressive scene's.

My 2 cents worth. I have a Gainward Ultra 750, Nvdia 4 chip, win 2k+, performed the upgrade to service pack 3 and Vue and Lightwave would not work at all, expecially behind a firewall. Removed the SP3 upgrade, and Vue + LW work fine, Vue also works with open GL permitted. Home built, 2GB, 120MB v card VUe 4.12, as is and Service pack 1 only, works a-ok. Sometimes a premature vue (need to save scene/file message), but a-ok. chao. gary

Condolences to this person, I lost my father yesterday to a differenet cancer (brain-cancer), my heart go to all sufferers. Hope that a cure for the future can be found soon. Best W. Gary

Ta I will try to locate it. thanks.

G'Day last Dec did a 5MB poly scene, 150MB file, took 36hrs, that was on a 866Mhz, p3,with 64mb card at the time, just did the same on a 2.53,P4,1.5GB ram,and was down to 16 hrs, much is pc dependent though, size, ram, etc abnd the quality rendered, lights ,shadow etc.

#4, rice fields, come to mind when thinking about asia, they are all close though!.

Well it is dervered, your scene is brilliant and done with a lot of care,patience and thought.++
