maybe i was being fussy.., reading about it or not seems to make little difference.., im getting black screens on the perspective view.., crashing.., blah blah.., im moving on with this.., i suspect its because i have all the settings in foot.., im getting unexpected .., actually totally unexpected because i didnt set them.., in my preferences.., i dont think ill be using 'foot' ever again.., ill leave it default.., im thinking of going back to maya 6.5., i have lost at least 60% time today on crashes.., and bad smooths?? of course this isnot happening to others i already know that so i guess it me and this computer.., because this does not happen at all on the mac, then again.., iver never used foot.., and i think there must be a box thats not chesked that i dont know about.
still haven't done the wheels.., and the reason i stated this was to learn the lighting and render.., anyway.., next is the wheels.., or whatever trim it needs
take it easy and life will be easy
