I don't have any real experiences with a production. But I think having a strong, committed team is more important than anything.

So my advice would be to talk to team leaders who has done this type of project before.

Good luck!

A few thoughts comes to mind: What role do you play? If you are to oversee the production, do you have previous studio experience? What's your main goal for the project? Blender was not mentioned anywhere in your post, so is this a Blender-only production? Is the production file going to be open sou...

I had been lucky enough to be a part of a very cool project taking place at the Fisheries Centre at the University of British Columbia. In a nut shell, we are trying to create a 3D underwater visualization using the Blender Game Engine to display scientific data in a more pleasing way. Basically tra...

Make sure you have an up-to-date glext.h when you're building. You can get the latest one from http://www.opengl.org/registry . Put it anyplace from where you compiler can find it. /Nathan No luck, i put the headers under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\Include\gl I also t...

I tested 4 builds on Win32, all with the same problem, with or without optimization And a lot of other GL extensions seems to be missing from private builds. Any idea why? is there any specific header/library i need to include to make a build? with all other GCC/VC++ compiles: Compiled with Python v...

Blender.org has been down more often than up in the past 2 weeks. Anyone knows the reason behind it?

Just want to see how '1024' will look on a 64bit Linux machine with 16G of RAM... I tried to edit the interface(buttons_object.c), but that didn't seems to affect the actual fluid output (nor the RAM usage). Can anyone provide a patch for higher res fluid? 512 is so yesterday :P Edit: nevermind, i f...

32bit Blender is limited to 2GB of address space, so having 4GB of ram does not mean much. LAA should help you a bit by pushing that limit to 3GB.

Blender game engine does not support drawing of 'text' directly right now. If you want 3d text, You need to convert it to a regular mesh and manipulate the individual characters with python.

Yes the issue is likely display-driver related. Did you install the latest binary driver from ATI/Nvidia/Intel?

if they are the same object, sometimes duplicating them with Alt-D is faster than Ctrl-D. This will make sure these object share the same mesh data.

More over, are you sure you are not out of physical memory? (ie swapping?)

I am not sure if you can build OMP with GCC, never tried...

But what I DO know is that you can not build OpenMP with the free version of MSVC (express), only the 'Pro' edition allows you to do that.

Please take a look at the screenshot, SMP did help a tiny bit, but i was expecting something more dramatic :oops: http://mpan3.homeip.net/f/smp.png I went back to my own build, and realized that there is a *tiny* increase in dualcore utilization when i enabled OpenMP on the Intel Compiler as well. M...

That would be wonderful news. Let me give it a try and report back.


Edit: Sadly, it doesnt. Compiled the latest SVN with Intel Compiler 10 for x86, maybe i am doing something wrong?
