Calm down. Whilst far from an ideal situation, just because a card is not officially supported does not *necessarily* mean it wont work. Alias *never* officially supported anything other than workstation cards for previous versions of maya actually. You can check release notes. Once I set maya.exe to win2k compatibility…
aww too bad, it isn't working but thanks anyway! (it sais: warning: high quality rendering mode is not supported by the graphics card. switching to default rendering mode.)
can anyone explain to me how to set it to win2k compatibility mode? (i have windows xp home edition and a very sloooow computer which belongs to my parents )
Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying, but I can use the scroll wheel after double clicking to rename without it crashing, although scrolling in that mode does nothing.

I suppose I ought to try that, as nothing else has worked for me. Normal Maps showed in the view port in older versions, but not in maya 8 for some reason. Thanks for mentioning…
Is there any noticable viewport slow down? I'm using a 7900 and Maya 7 right now and everytime I have the UV editor open in UV mode the perspective viewport crawls. I've heard some nasty stories on the CGsociety Maya forums too which have kept me from switching over. Well that and it doesn't seem worth the switch right now…
Personally I feel like an upgrade is only usually worth it if the new version has something in it that significantly improves workflow for you. Since we were starting a new project it meant we might aswell go with 8.0. Besides, the transfer maps stuff makes normal mapping extremely painless. I fixed a lot of issues…
Tulkamir that's not a new feature! Usually happens when you are fucking around with uv's or have done an illegal operation it was not expecting hence it's gone instantly with no crash and save to file. I seriously ctrl + s like every 10 min at work and at home, it's just not worth the frustration. fmnoor, none of those are…
