Ive got a Hercules Prophet II - Gforce II video card with 64megs of memory that blazes. I can run Deep Explorer, load high polygon models, spin, resize and move them around the screen in real time as if it were nothing.

Heck, I can even do the same thing in Poser, which doesnt even support Open GL.

So

Why cant I do that in Vue? Why is it that even small scenes bog down so much on redraws that Im forced to switch each of the display windows to wire-frame box mode just so I dont have to wait forever for the screen to update?

What is it that every other software company seems to know, but E-On hasnt figured out? The redraws in Vue remind me of the days when I was running Truespace 3 on an old Pentium 1 100mHz.

No, come to think about it, even back then Truespace was faster.

This shouldnt be that difficult. Theres got to be a textbook out there somewhere that tells how to do it.

Sorry for the grouse. Ive been converting a lot of models to VOB format lately, and Im just extremely annoyed right now.

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
