Hi torsten, if you have a heavy model then under Options > View > "Meshing parameters", try setting "Mesh angle" to a looser angle like 20 degrees and then uncheck "Add detail to inflections". That will make for a somewhat rougher looking shaded surface display but also greatly decrease the amount of triangle data that is sent to the card which can speed things up a lot.

re: graphics card recommendation, I'm not really up to date on what's current. On Windows though MoI uses Direct3D and not OpenGL and so doesn't really need a Quadro, the regular gaming card line should be fine but if you're running other apps that use OpenGL you may still need a Quadro since their OpenGL support is intentionally crippled on their gaming line, at least that's how it used to be.

First though check if tweaking those display settings gives you a noticeable boost or not.

thank you guys, that might help me... :-)


cheers

Here is a script that you an add as a shortcut key that will toggle the mesh angle between 5 10 and 25

cheers

script: /* Toggle mesh angle */ var newang, ang = moi.view.meshAngle; if ( ang == 5 ) newang = 10; else if ( ang == 10 ) newang = 25; else newang = 5; moi.view.meshAngle = newang; var sidepane = moi.ui.getUIPanel( 'moi://ui/SidePane.htm' ); var endsection = sidepane.document.getElementById('MiddleBody').nextSibling; if ( endsection.lastChild.id != 'angval' ) endsection.insertAdjacentHTML( 'beforeEnd', '' ); endsection.lastChild.innerText = newang;
