In case you arent on the one list I thought I would re-post some information from Ian Sullivan. "1/5/00 10:56pm Hi all, I finally got out of Carrara Detox ;). Of course Black Tuesday (Antoine's Term) didn't help much either. Anyways, just wanted to say hi and let you all know that Carrara engineering is slowly returning to some semblance of functionality. I finally finished reading all 2000 messages that had accumulated since I went off-line on December 18th. Sorry to hear that some of you are having problems, we'll try to address them as quickly as we can (can't be more specific than that, sorry). Some suggestions I can make for the problems I have seen mentioned often. MAC: Try moving to 8.5.1 or 8.6, we just didn't find alot of the problems under 8.1. I blame myself for not finding some of the more obvious ones, and I was the one who initally suggested going back to 8.1 (sigh). Physics is a pig for memory, keep an eye on your available application memory and if things get tight during physics calculation start hitting the escape key 'til it stops. Save then Quit the app. PC: Stay away from OpenGL/DD, stick with the software renderer it's pretty damn fast anyway you look at it. After launching try minimizing then restoring the app (the little eyeball in the upper right corner to minimize) that may free up some system resources (also known as GDI)."
