Modo 302

[PuG]

Hi, trying out Modo302 with Wine 1.0 through Ubuntu 8.04, had some success so far and appears to be working nearly fully accept for two problems we seem to be having.

The first is minor, and only appears to effect drop down menu where the entrys are unselectable, which was suggested maybe a Wine focus bug? We can work round this to some degree within Modo by modifying the layout.

But the second more import glitch is when viewing geometry/content through Modos viewports, and displays the following error message:

"Drawing Problem: dangerous lack of resources!".

It does however work in a single viewport, UV and render tab, and the problem only seems to occur first on the Quad layout (it may work upto three viewports at one time before the warning appears -and once it does you have to quit and reload).

Modo is using OpenGL.



Any input or suggestions would be most appreciated! We are running a thread over on the Luxology forums. The good news is bench mark times are virtually identical if not better than MS Vista.

Have you set video memory size in registry in case Wine didn't detect it correctly? See http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

Also remember that Wine is 32-bit app and might not let your program use more then 2GB of RAM regardless how much you really have. Can you check in the terminal if Wine prints anything when your program reports this error?

Hi Vitamin, thank you for the reply.

Ive added an entry into the reg to increase the video memory but it had no effect. The program in general feels sluggish (even before the lack of resources warning) - nothing special appears in the terminal when the error occurs, but below is the output when running it:

It renders fine for speed - just appears to be a memory type bottleneck else where.

You will have to remove / rename ~/.wine directory and reinstall your program. Only this time don't install itunes or other programs that contain bonjour service/malware.

[PuG]

Ive not installed anyother programs - this was a clean download for the Luxology website, and ontop of a fresh Ubuntu install, but ive just done a quick search and this is whats on the website: (I believe its for render farm use)

Can you explain some more about the performance of the network rendering capabilities of modo?


modo‘s built in distributed rendering is based on Bonjour. Bonjour comes with every Mac computer and is bundled with the Windows version of modo. You can use a combination of Windows and Mac machines to render across a network. Once a Bonjour connection is working between your master computer and other workstations that have modo running in “Slave” mode, modo will show the buckets being computed by other computers as different colors in the render window on the Master system.


.....................

Looking in the Program Files directory ive found no Bonjour folder - though its referenced in the above terminal output "C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe ".

Okay, the good news is that in Modo Prefs theirs something called VBO for OpenGL? ive manage to disable this and its resolved the Resource error problem, and now displays geometry etc correctly - however theirs still performance issues with the interface and viewport FPS.
