Are there two different coincident surfaces there? If not--you guarantee that there isn't, then my suggestion is to look at some of the hardware rendering options that can be added such as two-sided lights, etc. Look in the html documentation.

I'm having trouble using hardware rendering of a parametric surface (an adaptation of Bruce Land's net) in openDX--for lack of better words, it just looks plain ugly. See the attachments for the piece of the net that's giving us trouble and a comparison of how software and hardware rendering look on this machine. My set-up includes a duel Xeon 3.0 gHz processor, 4 gigs of RAM, a PCI express bus, and an nVidia GeForce PCX 5750 video card. We are considering upgrading to a high end video card designed for scientific visualization such as the 3DLabs Wildcat Realism 800. If using a new video card won't improve things, we won't waste the money. What cards are some of you using for scientific visualization? How can we make this look better? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is part of a figure for a paper that we need to send off for publication ASAP.

P.S. We need to use hardware rendering because the macro we are using to do stereo images stops working when changed from hardware to software rendering mode.

Thanks for taking a look,
