Hi Nicolas and all, Why do my projects rendered using 'batch processing' look very 'poor' compared to the same projects rendered individually? I save a large (thousands of lines) project that was rendered successfully but when I try to open the saved project I get an error message that says: "Unable to link rendering context" "Access viotation at address 00000000.read of address 00000000" Whenever I try to create a very large (about 10000 lines) project I get an error that says: "External exception EEFFACE" ...then my PC crashes... (Intel XPsp2) regards to all, Louis -----Original Message----- >From: Chaoscope <chaoscope@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Jul 8, 2006 4:11 PM >To: chaoscope@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [chaoscope] Re: first questions ... > >Hi Louis, hello all, > >> I'm a new-kid-on-the-strange-attractors-block . >> I installed the 0.3 a few days ago. >> I don't know much about it but I'm already >> having tons of fun with it. >> To me .. it works like some kind of MAGIC ... > >To me too, sometimes I wonder how my garbled code doesn't crash more >often! :-) > >> What is the maximum number of iterations >> that can be applied to a render?
