Comments to you Ken.

> Don't use refection in your finish statement.
*point* *grin*
> Don't use any objects that require csg operations.
The more so, use union instead of merge where possible, it's faster, can be done in
testing..
Difference is slowwwww...
> Don't use any high order polynominal objects.
If I don't understand them, I don't use them ???
> Don't use filter or transmit in your pigments.
Agree..
> Don't use media or fog.
Absolutely not...
> Don't use while loops.
Do this, but if you want to speed it up before final render, do an output to a file.
wether using the #debug or #fwrite is up to you, but it will reduce parsing a lot.
Same for #if and #switch
> Don't have more than a couple of objects in your scene.
When working, use a #if(fast=true) opbject { small_easy_thing_to_render } #else object
{
huge_memory_hog_that_looks_good_or_needs_work } #end
> Don't use layered testures and pigments.
See comment about #if for advanced objects
> Don't use area lights.
theese are huge...
> Don't have radiosity turned on.
Never...

yeah... or without the light with ambient 1 .....

hmm.... well.... Get a quad alpha system or something.... *grin*
More..
If you have a scene that needs to swap(paging-file), make sure you defragment your
swap
file...
in win95/98 :
1 Defrag the hdd with the swap file on.
2 remove all startup programs from windows.
3 go to control panel->system->performance->virtual memory
3.5 disable virtual memory.
4 reboot to DOS
4.5 remove any .swp files in C:\windows or c:\
5 reboot to windows
6 defrag your hdd again
7 set the virtual memory to "own settings" - Min=40Mb(more if you think you'll need
it)-
-Max=300 (depends on free space)-
8 reboot
9 Restore all you startup programs
10 reboot.
This will make the swap file less defragmented, and will make it a bit faster if you
have
a scene that requires swapping... It's generally a good idea to defrag your hdd once a
week or something like that if you add/remove a lot o files.
