6. You must now exit 3D Studio MAX R1 and re-launch the
application to use the Dynamic Pictures Oxygen Heidi driver and
take advantage of your Oxygen card. Perform these steps only
when switching Heidi drivers.
If you start 3D Studio MAX from a command shell, you may bring up
the Driver Setup dialog by launching the application with the
command:
3DSMAX -H
Troubleshooting Your Heidi Driver Installation
If you are experiencing problems when running 3D Studio MAX R1,
you can effectively bypass the Oxygen card and use the unaccelerated
default Heidi driver. To do this, bring up the 3D Studio MAX R1 Driver
Setup window, and select the “Software Z Buffer”
option. All graphics
are drawn as Windows GDI primitives.
NOTE : Using the “Software Z Buffer” option will substantially degrade
performance, so it should not be left enabled.
You can compare the appearance and performance of any graphics
with those viewed using the Oxygen Heidi driver. Reinstall the driver
using the steps outlined in the
Installing Your Software section on
page 5. If you continue to experience problems, please send e-mail to:
