I think about upgrading my system. I use not so fast cpu and tested a new ati radeon 9800. The result was not overwhelming. Is there any professional 3d/cad graphic card? Or is it about faster cpu only?
Thank you for the tips. I did it all. In the meantime I got some surprising information. I use Vectorworks Spotlight together with Cinema4D Special Edition not Renderworks. With this setup there is no transfer from light from instruments to Cinema4D - only the model an "regular" lights.
I blame Nemetschek/Computerworks and Maxon for providing wrong information about there products. Vectorworks Spotlight's key feature is drawing lightmaps and putting out simulation at the same time - it works with the standard Renderworks. It doesn't work with Cinema4D Special Edition - it is rip off.
I'm a newbie. I read Spotlight's strange user guide. For the price of the product - a realy bad book! Can anybody give me a hint what I have to do, that my light instruments do light in the rndered view.
Thank you!
