Just wondering if Carrera is always slow when dealing with Poser figures imported as OBJs with the textures. I imported a Victoria character with clothes and hair and, naturally, I had to play with the textures and all. That's fine, but then my computer went snail on me. I'm running W2K on a PIII 500Mhz with 412 of RAM. Don't have that much else running. If I just have to live with it, I guess I have to live with it, but I was curious if this is just a known or if I'm missing a setting that I could tweak. BTW, I've got the preview in wireframe. Thanks!

they're slow for me, too gouraud preview Mac OS 9.x, G3, 400 MHz, 256 MB RAM what method do you use for Vickie's eye tranparency problem? it's a recurring question here and elsewhere.

Haven't gotten the eyes perfect yet. I've played with 3 different OBJs that I've imported and had to set the transparency different on each one. My big problem was the hair. I use Anton's changing ponytail almost exclusively these days and getting that to look right was NOT fun. But I'll just keep plugging away. I got Carrera and Bryce 5 at about the same time so I switch back and forth. :)
