A few months ago someone remarked that it's more stable on Linux, so I
suspect XP has something to do with the (pseudo-)crashes. It's one reason I
want to try RS on Linux, but it will take a lot of time to get familiar with
that beast. (and raise the $$$ to buy a new quad-or 8-core machine)
Hi Mark :
Actually , I find V6-XP to be very stable , indeed . However , I
can get it to crash every time with certain things . Usually that's
a sign of a small bug .
DEM = landscape = big scene = choke :(
Yeah, that's one of the pains of RS: even if it manages to render a big
scene, editing becomes torture because you have to wait after every action.
Yes , indeed , but it's not Ram related (I don't think) . Happens even
with 'Render to Polygons' too .
They probably invented the handy File Instance tool to circumvent this.
Yes , for trees and plants it is very necessary and appreciated .
Looking forward to the tut! Let me know if I can help, I did a lot with
landscapes in the past, mostly rendered by WorldMachine and converted to
.obj by Vue, but also some DEMs. Haven't tested V6 with large landscapes
yet, though.

Thanks Mark . Yes , I know you are the Landscape King on this
list . Very nice renders and thanks for the project files .
I have a project file (no readme.txt) that shows an HDRI
image for displacement mapping . Is that yours ? Where did
you get the bitmap ? Any info to share on this ?
cheers
