Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Solution: Maya with S3 Prosavage DDR
Unfortunately, it has a rather awful S3 Pro-Savage DDR graphics card, but I wanted to do modeling etc while traveling (I travel on business a lot). I would find that Maya would crash frequently, particularly when rendering or using the hypershade window.
Last night, I played around and finally developed a solution that will get a S3 ProSavage DDR to work with Maya:
(1) Right-click on the desktop and select Properties .
(2) Click the Settings tab.
(3) Set the Color Quality to Highest.
(4) Click the Advanced button.
(5) Click the Troubleshoot tab.
(6) Set the Hardware Acceleration to one stop higher than None (see attached image)
(7) Clear the Enable Write Combining checkbox.
(8) Click OK to exit the Advanced Properties dialog box
(9) Click OK to exit the Display Properties dialog box.
At this point you may have to restart your PC.
After the restart, you should be able to use Maya quite normally!!!! :thumbsup:

My original post wasn't a question... rather it is a helpful solution posted for folk who may suffer the same problems with their S3 cards.Originally posted by Vampus
This might seem like a silly question(s), but have you checked a)the alias site, b)the alias forums, c)e-mailed alias?

Addition....
You can check the Enable Write Combining in the Troubleshoot window... this will not hurt Maya and actually improves graphics performance slightly.
Yay!

On the contrary, I re-read my original post and it did read like a question without the question-mark. It's been edited to be a little more "concept-friendly".Originally posted by Vampus
Oh, ignore me then
So thanks

accelerations on cards that crash with maya.
Usually they were not really meant for a high end
3d program.
turning off the accelerations transfers some of the load to the processor. It slows down the graphics, but at least it doesnt
crash every 5 minutes.

Yup. Down our way we all use ridiculously high resolutions - it's to do with my 'real' work where I can have up to 10 sessions open at a time!Originally posted by Emo
wait a minute... you are running 1400x1050 on a laptop?

Anyway, I had a fun evening of Modeling and texturing last night, so it's workin quite nicely.
