Hi Ferdinand > Good 3D engin ! (Morfit is slooooow !) Engine speed has been a heated topic on the Morfit forum of late. I have been looking at a number of engines recently.... Auran Jet, Crystal Space, Revolution, True Space, Genesis / Jet...... In my opinion the only one of these that seems to have a visible speed advantage over Morfit is Genesis. The only two that seem to match or better Morfit graphically are Genesis and Crystal space. I am not greatly impressed with my first look at any of the others (never really got Revolution to work.....will try it again) Crystal Space samples showed frame rates of around 9 FPS on quite simple worlds. Morfit generally sits around 17-25 on more complex worlds on the same machine (333 Celeron, 3D card). Also, even though the CS samples had low frame rates, they were still pretty smooth and looked really nice. I also think it is possible to do a better job than the Morfit samples (and whatever I did to them!) None of these engines come within a hundred miles of Morfit's ease of use. Genesis, unfortunately, looks complex. What are your system spec's Ferdinand? Morfit is much quicker if you use hardware mode...you really *need* a 3d card. (CTRL-ALT-V selects hardware mode when running a sample). Mark
