help: zoom bounding box

[mikeydee]

Can someone please help?

Ive been watching A:M tutorials for past few months, even read the manual online.

I now have a new computer running win 7 and brand new A:M. Both 2 days old YAY!

Ive used Maya and Bryce for years and dying to get into A:M now.

For some reason my render Bounding Box shows solid (or last rendered pic underneath) when i drag a box.

This also happens when selecting splines or points.

I looked thru tools/options but couldnt find anything.

I also tried running A:M in XP mode 32 bit and had same solid bounding box.

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Michael

Welcome to A:M!

Thankyou VERY much.

First I tried the Open GL to Direct X and that did it. (still dont understand any of this but learning more everyday)

In Maya i only made still pics. So this is my first animation program where it's not too overwhelming to begin in.

Feels more comfortable diving in now i have a transparent bounding box. You Rock!

On My PC OpenGL is faster for real-time, so you might want to try the other tricks and see if you can get OpenGL 100%.

 

Remember you have to restart A:M after a Direct3DOpenGL change.
