Does Vue handle its resources on mac & not mac differently ? I have read an earlier thread about how low some 6 users have found their resources to be dropping to on this final release. I think they are all on PCs. How is it for mac users ? The reason I ask is because with BOTH the prerelease and this final release I am having similar problems on my G4 1.67 ghz, 2gb ram Powerbook..... A brand new nothing in it scene had %78, another one I started off with %56. When later I added 1 procedural terrain, one light,a spectral atmosphere, a window, a ship and a bottle I was down to %2 !!!!! .and of course "Fatal Error" crash. I re opened the scene , it seems now to be sticking around %6 resources and it hasn't yet crashed while I finish my final tweaking. A while ago I think someone told me basically pcs and macs handle it differently and that his mac often had low resources stated but that Vue ran just fine with a very full scene. Is this also something I should be on at E-On support about ? And btw, where do I find the option to purge the memory ? On the plus side I can now import a Poser scene in under 5 minutes . it was taking over 15 on the pre release. But Vue is still very sluggish once the scene opens and that was with the pose-in-Vue etc options turned off. At this rate it looks like I'd best stick to fairly simple scenes and no Poser figs in them either. It's not nice to work thinking an app is going to crash any second though I save often ( VERY often now) and that the scene might end up damaged and un-openable anyway which is what happened often enough with the pre release. hmmm, maybe I will change my nick on the e-on forums to 'fatal error'.
