Viewing From Your Camera Positions Right below the word "Poly" on the Middle Control Panel you will find four buttons. They are "1", "2", "4", "8". These buttons are used by Vistapro to determine the size of the polygons used to draw the landscape. Only one can be selected at a time. If you just want to get an idea of your camera position, click on the "8" button. This will cause Vistapro to use large polygons and fewer of them. As you can see, the larger the "Poly" setting, the less detail the image will have. The advantage of less detail is more speed. Another way to decrease rendering time is to click on the LckPal button located on the Middle Control Panel. This will prevent Vistapro from calculating a new color palette (which can be time consuming) each time it renders a picture. Before rendering your final image, you will want to unlock the color palette (click on LckPal again) so that Vistapro will calculate the best colors to use for the image. See it in action: Let's take a quick look at the landscape, click on the "8" button. Click on the LckPal button, just to speed things up. Now click on the Render button, and wait while Vistapro renders the landscape. As you can see, the landscape looks very blocky, but it gives you an idea of your camera position. Return to the topographical map and Control Panel screen by clicking the left mouse button. At this point, you can change your camera and target positions as outlined above, and re-render until you have the camera position that you like. Once you like the camera position, select a smaller "Poly" setting and then click on the Render button. Try rendering using each of the "Poly" settings. You will notice that a "Poly" setting of "1" can take a bit of time to render. That's why it's a good idea to use the larger and faster setting to fine tune your camera position. If you want to abort a rendering in progress, simply press the ESC key.
