I am a beginner with RenderWorks, but not with 3D modeling and animation. While I like the RenderWorks/VectorWorks package, I have been experiencing a problem with rendering on a PM G4 with 320 MB of RAM. Even when the quality settings are set low (1 ray bounce, shadows are not ray traced, etc.), generating a rendering is much slower than what we have become used to with competing software packages (also using Ray Tracing). I have played around with the memory allocation (setting the VW allocation as low as possible) and that does not seem to make much difference.
Also, the Render Bitmap tool has been rather fussy and won't work (it just shows white space when where I have drawn a marquee).
What am I missing?
