WavGEN™ Enabled

The ResPower Super/Farm™ Render Farm is WavGen™ enabled. This means that the Super/Farm has WavGen TextureLoader Pro for 3dsmax 8 installed and ready to use your highly compressed WavGen compatible textures. WavGEN compatible textures are much smaller than normal texture maps, and because WavGen TextureLoader Pro keeps them compressed in RAM, you can use higher-resolution textures without as strong an impact on your memory requirements.

Using the WavGen image loader gives you two performance boosts:

• Shorter upload times, because your texture files are smaller.
• Shorter render times, because your textures consume less RAM, thereby avoiding thrashing.
