Simply because 7zip is as free as ZIP and offers a higher compression factor (10~25% better compression). And there are different free archivers that support it: 7zip itself TugZip ZipGenius Under Linux too: the KDE archiving tool supports 7zip as long as you install the p7zip package. For the corru...

Hi patricks!!!

Thanks for the appreciation The splash was an old Blender project of mine I had tweaked with this build to test it.

The DPI calculator is not mine, I only managed to make it work a little better and to integrate it in the scripts' menu.

Here's a fresh CVS build I've tweaked a little for your pleasure

Improvements over CVS are at the bottom of the page

I've solved this problem by setting AO to Subtract only and using one or teo additional Hemi lights.

thnx for the fast reply Nathan

Here's the error:

Linking library ==> 'libsrc.a'
scons: *** [C:\blender\build\win32-mingw\lib\libsrc.a] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Why the heck it's happening? maybe the problem is in an external library (I'm using lib/windows from CVS repo)?

Just posted in the patch tracker:

here's an implementation of mmap & munmap for the win32 platform.

By including it in mallocn.c at line 44 I succeded in compiling blender.

Hope it can be of any help

mmap & munmap implementation for win32 by Lox

Problem is in mallocn.c, on lin 44 You can find: No mman.h for Windows (win32 platform misses mmap and munmap) so munmap symbol missing (_munmap in libguardedalloc.a).

In current CVS, setting a plane with a green material (no nodes) with a narrow spot light above and activating Ambient Occlusion results in the lit part showing the material color and in the AO lit part showing a light gray color.

An example is here:

I've noticed that the empty that controls the placement of a group istance is placed where the global origin laid when the group was created, this makes compulsory to place all the group's elements at the global origin coordinates to avoid messing up the screen with detached empties. Maybe this is a...

Ok, here's the source of the error: The SConstruct file (in CVS root) has these option set for Cygwin and win32 platforms: openexr_libpath = ['/usr/lib'] openexr_include = ['/usr/include/OpenEXR'] No! Bad! OpenEXR Libs and Incs are not there! To fix the issue those options should have those values: ...

Sorry for multiple posts, but I was building angain while writing the previous topic. This is still an issue for current CVS compiling with MSVC under Win32: openexr_api.cpp source\blender\imbuf\intern\openexr\openexr_api.cpp(47) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'half.h': No such file ...

Ok, still here to give some Win32 compiling feedback. I've found that building the blender project in the blender solution (projectfiles_vc7\blender folder) gives some errors about missing project's files (all files that are no more in CVS repository). Some files while being processed complain about...
