Hi Travis,
I did actually download and try out your new version of LDVIEW.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work well with my computer. I have a
voodoo 2 3d card and a 450MHZ computer. It selects software rendering
instead of the hardware accelleration. Given that this is a fairly complex
model, my frame rate is about 1 frame a second!
Support for Voodoo 1&2 would be great, but I can understand the difficulty
if you don't have that sort of card. Ironically, I bought a Voodoo because
it was most compatible with games at the time.
LDVIEW does look like a cool program. I look forward to a new update with
more hardware support, or to a time when I can get some updated hardware.
