|Forge is a texture rendering system for use with Essence. This program 
|will QUICKLY (and how!) render samples of up to 9 textures combined in 
|user-definable configurations. VERY handy for designing textures for your 
|projects! Forge also supports texture animation, and will show quick 
|thumbnails of the animation so you see what you're getting. 

	Maybe I have something set up wrong or my 030 is slow as hell, but
	it seems to take quite a while to render the textures in Forge.
	Agreed it's MUCH better than not having Forge; so I'm not
	bitching.  I'm just wondering if other people are getting screen
	updates much faster than I am.  When setting my textures I still
	have to walk away from the machine for 5 minutes or so and wait
	for the rendering to make a few passes.  I admit that I haven't
	read the entire manual so there may be a setting I need to adjust.
	Any ideas?

	Dale
