Thanks Lorenzo for your informations.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alan,
Nothing for me about this greyed option ?

[Vincent Vacher]

Hi Alan,
In 3.01 Motion blur is unchecked and if check it High quality checkbox is unavailable. When i right-click on preview window High quality is greyed and regular is unchecked. Same thing in 3.02. (does PI 3.01 and 3.02 store settings in different files ?)

Why High quality checkbox is unavailable ? is it due the my video card ?
I think you are right because i have problems with some other video softwares i use due to my Matrox card.
Could you recommand me a good video card (< $350) Thanks in advance. VINCENT

[Vincent Vacher]

Alan,
(acceleration checked)
I tried to run 3.01 and compare, that confirms what i was telling you. On some emitters 3.01 is 10 times faster ???!!!…. I don’t understand why a so big difference. On small emitters there is not a lot of difference 3.02 is little more jerky but on big emitters (PE Artistic/electric/Extreme graphic) there is an enormous difference. Number, life, number of end points on area emitters have a lot of influence.
Have you some suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
