| How I got Lightwave to work with my XFX 8800GTX graphics card |
|
I recently purchased a new system to speed and help with the development of the game.
I also purchased a full version of Lightwave 3D but I've been having problems with crashing or
corruption of the display when I open and move any of the tools that open a secondary window over
the main screen in modeler, "surface" etc., the trouble seemed to be a compatability issue with my graphics card.
After a bit of research I found that Lightwave 3D uses openGL to render and my solution is as follows. Please note that this is what has worked for me and this page is not intended to be a definative solution. |
| 1/ Go to "Manage 3D Settings" in the nVidia Contol Panel and then "Program Setting" and then "Add" lightwav.exe and modeler.exe |
|
2/ Here are the settings that I have used... Anisotropic filtering: Use global setting(8x) Antialiasing - Gamma correction: Use global setting(On) *Antialiasing - Mode: Application-controlled Antialiasing - Setting: Use global setting(4x) Antialiasing - Transparency: Use global setting(Off) *Conformant texture clamp: Use OpenGL specification Error reporting: Use global setting(Off) Extension limit: Use global setting(Off) Force mipmaps: Use global setting(None) Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration: Use global setting(single display performance mode) Stereo - Display mode: Use global setting(Use vertical interlace monitor) Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimisation: Use global setting(Off) Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Use global setting(Allow) Texture filtering - Quality: Use global setting(Quality) Texture filtering - Trilinear optimisation: Use global setting(Off) Threaded optimisation: Use global setting(Auto) Triple buffering: Use global setting(Off) *Vertical sync: Force off * denotes settings that differ from the global settings |
| 3/ Here is my system spec......... Grahpics Card - GF 8800GTX 600M 768MB DDR3 DUAL Processor / CPU - AMD2 Phenom X4 9600 Black Edition Mainboard - Asus M3A AMD2+ 770 Power Supply Unit / PSU - Hiper PSU 630W 4M630 Memory - OCZ DDR2 2GBx2 PC6400 800MHZ GOLD Operating System - XP Professional 32 Bit Monitor - HANNS-G Hi221D flat screen Other - Raid - 0+1.
