BrendanFella Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 VW 12.5 w/RW...Sometimes while rendering, applying texture, my screen goes blank (white) and I cannot see my rendering. I also cannot go back to my rendering. I've tried using the undo command to go back. Ultimately my rendering is lost ...even closing and reopening VW and reopening my rendering still shows a white screen. Any Ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 It may be a long shot, but try updating your video drivers. Quote Link to comment
M.CH Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Are you running 12.5.3? Quote Link to comment
BrendanFella Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 M.CH ...When I open Vw it says v12.5 Ray, I take it you are talking VIDEO driver. I tried and was told I have the best driver installed. here is what it says for my video driver.... RADEON X600 256 Hypermemory RADEON X600 256 Hypermemory (Secondary) I have 2 gb of RAM on a DELL Pentium dual core proc., 2.8mh This might be important and I notice it is not in my original post.... With a saved rendering when adding a texture to another object the screen goes white... BUT I am left with the one item I was adding the texture to on a white screen.. The rest of the rendering dissapears. After a save and having this happen I have also tried closing the job WITHOUT saving hoping to open it back up and see my original before the white screen...no luck. Hope does means something.

Ray Libby Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Those are just your specs for your video card, not driver version. Try going to ATI's website, download and install the latest drivers. I wouldn't rely on XPs opinion. Have you updated to 12.5.3? Any way you could post the file or email it to me?

BrendanFella Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I've tried adding the file here using file manager on post. What am I doing wrong? The file loaded etc. but does not show up. It's even giving me the name VW called the file.....1446 I have not updated to 12.5.3 yet...kinda afraid to touch anything...LOL Brendan It's coincidence the file name has 2008 in it...It was created using v12.5 Fundamentals w/ Renderworks Edited September 26, 2008 by BrendanFella Quote Link to comment
BrendanFella Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Ok, seems like it is showing up after I hit "Submit" Hope so. Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I opened your file and it was zoomed out to 0.000% I hit Crl+6 (fit to objects) and it zoomed in and rendered fine. Quote Link to comment
BrendanFella Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 DUH!...I feel like an idiot....thanks Ray. Other times though I was left with the actual item I was rendering on the screen and in position but everything else dissapeared. I'll check those too. Thanks again, Brendan Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Glad it worked. Quote Link to comment
