Hang on Mark . I ignored your last post but I can't ignore this one . When I said it was "lightning fast" I meant that once the AA etc had been decreased it rendered much-much faster . Of course this new tweak of Arjo's is not meant to be a re- placement for Gi , but in my humble opinion it seemed to be a really excellent improvement to Timo's original AO & I thought it was a cool way to have a nice Gi look . Timo will of course improve his AO with version 6 RS3D and then ... who knows ? As you mentioned previously , best thing to do ... grab some new hardware . You are still on a 30 Mhz Amiga 2000 , so of course things are going to take way too long ! Just kidding . Thanks for the awesome landscape animations . studio
