i have a voodoo 3 AGP and i am running maya. but my graphic card doesn't support openGL when running maya. and this the warrning that maya gives.
// Warning: Your system does not have hardware accelerated OpenGL, or your driver is not configured properly. Maya will continue to run, but you will get significantly better performance with accelerated hardware. //
does anyone know if it is possible for my voodoo3 to use openGL when running maya 4.
no it wont unlike the geforce cards and the ati radeon cards the Voodoo cards ONLY do Full Screen opengl Maya needs Windowed opengl your nto doing 3d all over the maya lay out only say in your perspective view or the 4 veiws or what ever the rest of maya is not 3d accelerated the Voodoos cant do this why i dont know but it just wasnt built into t hem and has never been so if you want hardware accelerated opengl youll need to get a new vid card
