Loaded 4.06 and my model previews are blinking single pixels on my win 8.2 machine.

Can you provide the XML file for the sequence as well as xlights_networks.xml and xlights_rgbeffects.xml?

Last that happened to me, I just needed to "zoom" the models back to size.

You MAY want to just wait for 4.0.7.   I just completely removed the class and methods that was being used to display the model for just the effect and merged it and the "preview" classes together into a single set of methods and such to hopefully simply it.

That said:  what happens if you pull the Model Preview window completely off and into a floating panel.   Does it display then?

Well I asked for your files twice and never got anything.  Finally another user reported that only certain models are showing as a single pixel.  A mega tree works fine but an arch doesn't.  I was able to confirm that.  Can you at least tell us what type of models you have that aren't working or give us the files?
