Ah...sorry to bring this old topic up again but can someone who is running
this setup give me the magic incantation needed to get LightWave and Modeler
to display correctly using a Picasso II board.
I just received it and had to settle for a board with only 1meg of ram
onboard. The manual doesn't state what kind of ram I need to put in there and
the writing on the ram chips that *are* there don't mean anything to me. Can
someone tell me where I can purchase the additional meg of ram and how much I
should expect to pay? Thanks.
On that note I'd like to say that using the unbundled LightWave with the
Picasso II is almost a dream come true. The Picasso II is quite a wonderful
graphics card. It's great to click on the "render to Picasso" option in
LightWave and see the polygons rendered right on the Picasso screen. Speeds
up test renders considerably.
Oddly enough when I put LightWave into the Picasso modes it seemed to slow
down quite a bit. I'm running in a 25mhz 3000 with 16 meg of ram, 2 meg of
chip and while every other program runs quickly at 1120x832 LightWave seems to
bog down to being outright unproductive at even 800x600 and crawls at
1024x768. Is this attibutable to my only have 1 meg of ram on the card..I
hope..
Thanks for any and all information on this.
For those of you wondering, I've had a Toaster in my 3000 for quite a while.
I actually purchased the whole shebang strictly for LightWave work but figured
that I get Tpaint, the CG and a display card with it so what the heck. Now
I'm debating taking my Toaster out of the machine completely, loading only the
unbundled LightWave and running on the Picasso. Using TVPaint right on the
24-bit screen is wonderful!
I recommend the Picasso II plus LightWave unbridaled to anyone who is
interested in strictly LW work. ADPro 2.5 looks great on the Picasso in high
res. Forge, however, doesn't. While I can put Forge into the 1120x832 mode,
the interface still stays at the default size..whatever that is, so it shows
up as a 1/4 screen image! I guess we won't have to worry about that with 4.0.
