Who thought there would be zero problems with the initial release, with regard to OpenGL? Anybody? Anybody think that SM was able to test the thousands of possible combinations?

There's nothing here to discuss. Poser 8 uses more OpenGL features. For many people, the preview in P8 is running much more effectively than before. For some people, it isn't. Among those, there are quite a few who don't have updated drivers. Not saying everybody is out of date, but a lot of the complaints were that the drivers from two years ago worked fine with Poser 7 - it should work with Poser 8, right? Sure, if Poser 8 had nothing new about it. But P8 is using features of OpenGL that it didn't used to use.

So there are some kinks to work out. We can't work them out here in the forum. Report your configuration, video card, driver version, etc. to SM.. The more reports they get, the more patterns will appear, and they will sort it out.

BRTS with adjustable samples is a brand new feature, like only 3 days old, so my first impressions fit perfectly with the theme of this thread.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
