Ton pointed out a big flaw in my method. The G.totface and G.totvert counters I used to size the vert and face lists, really only show the faces and verts in the current 3D window. If you have some other window active and try to render, this will probably crash.

You know who you are.

Anyone interested in testing this out, please do. http://www.soylent-green.com/MaxVert.patch I based the size of the vert and face render data tables on G.totvert and G.totface (after some work to make sure it's the right number....). Let me know how it works on your biggest nightmare scenes.... EDI...

but blender is not the real world, why should I care about inaccuracies it has? Cause it looks terrible???? You like jagged edges? Feel free to turn OSA off. (though the blending should be bounded before the blending, if that is the problem) so: don't change my material settings, try to fix the pro...

I put it at the top, too, but

BTW: Heres a file that shows what I mean:

Play with the spec and ref settings of the "white" material.

I discovered that the OSA problems Blender experiences are only apparent when the (spec+ref) settings of a background object total more than 1.00. This kind of makes sense. Since spec and ref are supposed to be the % of light reflected specularly, and diffusely, They should never total more than 1.0...

Work is already well under way on this (Thank you, Green). Patience, my man....

You might have better luck convincing your compiler that all floats are doubles rather than try to find all instances of the coords.

Since you're not interested in compatability, maybe write a script to do a global substitution of "double" for "float" throughout the source.

So particle animations have to be completely reworked if you render once in PAL and once in NTSC. No! the framerate shouldnt affect the amount of frames! It merely takes less time, such as any part of any animation. Also there is a script on the elysuin forums that supporst windows (i use it at the...

And of course the lowest MBlur setting is 5, which takes 5 times the render time.

Doubling the resolution in both x & y (and later scaling) only takes 4x the render time.

I've been trying to extend sgefant's work on "sound in the sequence editor" by drawing the sequence box with the waveform drawn on it for cueing. However, the routines in editsound.c are giving me fits. I can't seem to find a reliable way to determine if the bSample associated with any particular bS...

Has anyone seen this:



The sliders move with the IPO, but it doesn't seem to update teh value for rendering. The Alpha IPO has the same issue with halos.

If nobody knows what's up, I guess I'll start hunting...

Bob (AKA Det. Thorn)

Has anyone else seen this (2.25)? I load up the Mesh data of an object, then manipualte the verts, and call update() Everytime I run the script, the mesh's material user count goes down by 1. When it goes negative, Blender can no longer deal with it, and when I save/reload, the material is deleted. ...

I already have the switch planned. There's still one little issue to work out with my code. Blender doesn't sort the mesh in any particular way. If a rear edge is drawn last, it can occlude a forward edge, hiding the forward edge behind a rear one. I need to come up with a way to zsort the mesh data...
