Updating Drivers for Element 3D

Sometimes fixing bugs can take a little longer than expected and sometimes a solution just shows up!

Nvidia recently released the new10 Series graphics card and the specs are pretty insane! As always, we like to make sure our plug-ins like Element 3D runs smoothly. Sometimes we find small issues and rework the plug-in, and release an update.But a recently changed Driver was causing a more tricky case, so we have been working on it over the past week.

And of coursewe have this sweetRoofmodel pack coming out with some new tutorials so we wanted everything to besolid! Sowe were trying to figure out this Driver issueand we were about reach out tosomeof our friends at Nvidia when suddenly, they released anew Driver today that fixedthe issue! Yay!!

So thanks to Nvidia for fixing it so quickly, it's nice toknow they are continually updating drivers.

If you are using a Nvidia10 Series card, the latest Nvidia Driversare working great!

Now let's get back to the fun stuff!

NOTE: If your Recent AMD drivers are causing any issues withElement 3D V2, we did an update about 2 weeks ago to fix some random bugs there. You can login and download all plug-in updates from the customer section.
