MarkS-Novak Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 A curious issue: when moving back and forth between finder and VW, I often can be in VW and the VW menu across the top does not appear, just the finder menu. I need to move to another application, then back to VW to get my menu back. rather buggy. Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I see this a lot as well, as you describe. Another issue I have is VW2008 doesn't always like to go to the backround. If I set up a long render or an animation or radiosity, and then want to work in another app, I have trouble getting the other app to come to the foreground. So, not only does VW not take advantage of the multicore processors, it makes it difficult for me to take advantage of them by using a different program whilst I wait for VW. It is the only app I have that is processor-intensive and acts this way. Quote Link to comment
MarkS-Novak Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 this is why I render in Artlantis...I have a movie working now for 2 days in the background, with very little slow down in effciency... Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I've been playing with the Artlantis demo for a few days. I haven't had much time to throw at it yet, though. I've also been playing with Cinema 4D. Do you prefer Artlantis over that program for architectural renderings and walkthroughs? The examples of what both can do are amazing. Quote Link to comment
MarkS-Novak Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I like Artlantis for price and speed...we need some quick down and dirty rendering s with lots of stainless steel...it does a decent job there...I dont know Cinema 4D. Quote Link to comment
