Post by: ALF on October 15, 2003, 08:08:15 PM: HT is trying to give you GV'ers out there some air cover from people like me:D I wouldnt mind seeing a better model, however, the min sys requirements make some concesions necissary. You cannot add enough trunks without adding tons of load on the graphics processors (currently huge swatches are just one big texture, with little rendering overhead), adding trunks adds a 3rd dimentions and would add 100 fold to the processing power needed.

Not to mention that it would make navigating in a GV a real pain in the arse. Maybe theres something down the road...but for now, I think its going to be a learn to live with it situation.
