Shadow problems fix needed
-
Hi Guys, In a previous thread 'what graphics card' which centred around how to improve my computer specs' to improve my comuters performance, as when I turned on shadows in a big model the program stuttered and became unresponsive.
I now do not have any control over shadows. when i go into shadow settings 'on face' etc are greyed out and no longer an option. I have attached an image where i am now having problems with shadows on even the simplest model. Any ideas about what is going on?
(edited) It seems it is not known why I am having these issues due to the lack of replies. So I think the answer may be to reinstall SU but would prefer to repair as last time i uninstalled i lost all my customisation. Is it possible to repair rather than uninstall and reinstall?(edited)
Thanks

Does this help?

Thanks Carsten! That was spot on, I actually did that myself a bit earlier. It seems that unchecking and checking the Open GL 'use hardware acceleration' seems similar to: "have you tried switching it off and on again" a classic trick!

Wow! That's quite a leap.

Was desperate and working to a deadline on a full-on streetscape job.

You are right but steved is right too, over 5 hours till a solution is quite long for this forum

Some of us still try to get an hour or two of sleep at night.

... and in Australia they use different hours for this

Are they longer than the ones we use here? I could use a lot more sleep than I've been getting.

The answer to that, Dave, is do a lot of complex renders, thereby tying up your computer where all you CAN do is doze.
Otherwise, make big fat hours in the daytime for all of the websites, blogs, etc. that we've taken on.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a shot.

Goodnight Dave.......Goodnight cotty
