Watermark slows down !
 

Hi folks,

I recently got Maya PLE 5.0 and it displays a watermark on top of each viewing port where you have shading selected. I first thought that it was the shading itself that was causing the framerate to drop when I wanted to watch my model in the perspective viewport, but now I am sure it is the watermark that causes the slowdown (perhaps because it is a fancy half-transparant watermark?) Does anyone know what I can do about this, for instance turning the watermark's transparancy of off?

Thanks in advance !

LMAO ..if you could disable it there would be no point in having it, unfortunately it is the price you have to pay for using the program for free.

I quote myself : '...turning the watermark's TRANSPARANCY off...'
Evidently, I did not mean the watermark itself...

This thought had crossed my mind because half-transparant "things" tend to be very CPU-demanding, so I thought maybe there would be a possibility to make the watermark fully opaque (only the text of it, of course).

Or does anybody perhaps now of a way to make more use of the hardware rendering of my graphics accelerator card (a common ATI radeon)? I remember when I used 3DSmax, one could choose between software rendering or openGL rendering.

Thanks.

Come on guys ....... how many here can afford an $8000 sofware package.
