My system locks up when I try to use the Sphere of Attraction tool in RDS 5.5 on a poser 4 model that I imported. Let me explain. I open RDS and then select open file. I go to the poser 4 directory poser4runtimegeometriesP4NudeWoman. Then select P4NudeWom.obj After deleting those parts I don't want, I jump in the mesh form modeler from here. All other tools seem to work corectly, but when I select Sphere of Attraction, I lock up. I haven't tried with any other wavefront objects. If I create the mesh in RDS, it works fine. Is RDS just busy or messed up.

Runelord, I Imported the P4NudeWoman file into RDS./ Jumped into the Mesh Form Modeler and selected Sphere of Attraction and didnt have any problems. It brought my system to its knees. Very slow response. I'm on a PII 450 with 256mb RAM and a TNT1 16mb AGP video card...Windows 98 SE. Have you tried to see if the system is just busy by waiting a little bit? I selected a Vertex then Sphere of Attraction and it took about 10-20 seconds before RDS reacted. Let me know. Clint

ClintH, Yup, tried that. Let is sit for a few hours and it was still locked up. I'm running a PII 333, 192mb RAM, with a GlyerMax2 8mb video card. I may have to check my BIOS settings or maybe re-install RDS. At least I know the process works, just not on my machine. Thanks

A problem I hadwith the RDS mesh form modeler was that when you work on a very small model- such as the poser figs in a zoomed windo, and select a shpere of attractioon at default size it hangs up. Metacreation were unable to reperduce this, and it cleared wup when I got a new video card so maybe it has to do with fact I was using a Diamond Fire Gl 1000. A work arround was to zoom out, select shpere of attraction, make it 0.01 inches and THEN zoom back in. "phil" Hokusai

That did the trick Hokusai(Phil). Thanks. Looks like its time for a new video card. Been wanting to get a new one anyway. :)
