Again, many thanks for your input. I already made a similar config for NewMode, allowing smooth rendering in an unpromoted mode and everything else on Voodoo.

I feel it must be possible to get everything on Voodoo with enough experimentation, but it could take a while to figure out and maybe not worth the effort.

On my A1200T/Apollo1260/64MHz, the Layout interface is smooth enough at about 800x600 and 16-bitPC mode. 24-bit promotion makes it jerky when manipulating objects. Anyhow 16-bit is quite suitable for the two color interface, eh?

I will continue to experiment and if I get the Rendering screens to work, I'll post it here.

Cheers,

@all

I'll try to contact the author of NewMode and see if there is a solution to this problem.

Just to add to the problem, I noticed that the Animation Preview screen on Layout doesn't function when the Layout screen is promoted to Voodoo graphics.

I suspect all these problems (and I think there are one or two more yet) are related to multi-tasking.

Only the Amiga version (AFAIK) runs the Animation Preview screen and the Modeler 3D View via multi-tasking. This probably means that there are two screens being displayed together, as with the Render Preview screens. This might be impossible to do with mode promoters like NewMode. (?)

Unfortunately, neither the author nor Aminet uploader of NewMode are now contactable through their addresses on Aminet.

Seems like a Scan Doubler may be needed to get a complete LightWave running on Voodoo graphics. (?)

Cheers,
