Enhanced 3D Performance

 

ICONICS utilizes a new engine for 3D objects in the desktop (WPF) version of GraphWorX64, which allows for faster frames-per-second for displays with very high vertex counts.

 

Some tested displays with large numbers of vertices provided as much as 12x speed improvement. (Actual speed improvements will vary.)

 

You don’t need to do anything to take advantage of this performance boost, as this improvement is included after version 10.96.

 

ICONICS does not expect any issues with this new rendering engine, but because this is a large change, we are including the ability to change some or all 3D Viewers back to the old engine. If you find that your 3D Viewers are rendering differently in 10.96 than they were in 10.95, select your 3D Viewer and set the PreferredRendering property to Compatible. (Note, this is an advanced property. If you do not see it, go to View > Application Mode and select Advanced.).

 

If you would like to change this for all or most viewers at once, edit Gwx.config.xml in the Program Files\ICONICS\GENESIS64\Components directory. Search for UseSystem3DRenderer and set the value to True. Now, all viewers with PreferredRendering set to Default (the default value) will use the old rendering engine. Then if you would like certain viewers to use the new engine, set PreferredRendering to Fast for those viewers.
