Hello, it seems that i am not able to get any render/display mesh to show up. I have used downloaded models and ones that I made from both Auto Studio and Maya. I see object in the graph editor but nothing in the render window. Any Ideas?

I am used to using Maya (mental Ray), AutoStudio, Keyshot, Hypershot. There seems to be a simple issue but I cannot find it.

hi there,

* see wheather Your GPUs are seen by program (thrue options)
* if You're using kepler card (6xx - you need special build as demo is not runing on these =)

it is not seeing any cudas. I am running XP (not by choice) and a Quadro 5000 card.

any more thoughts

Just to be sure, there are no devices listed under File » preferences » Cuda devices ? Which NVIDIA driver are you using?

Correct, there are no cuda devices showing in the list.
I am using driver version "6.14.12.5957" (certified for Alias Automotive)

At one time I was looking into Hypershot, but I found that it did not run on Windows XP. Is there are reason that XP will not use the GPU in the way needed?

I think the trouble is quadro 259.57 is a cuda 3.1 driver.
The demo requires cuda 4.0 or later.
Try updating your driver. Anything after 270.xx would do I think.
The latest is 306.79 and cuda 5 but it should be backward compatible.

TY, I will try that. I am in a bit of a difficult spot though. I need the drive I have installed now for the main modeling pakage, as it gets flakey with the newer drivers. I will let you know what I find.
