I can't use this at all for what I am doing, but I'm glad I know about it. I'll have to revert to a 32bit os then, which is a shame. I hope this gets addressed soon. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Time to start downloading the 32bit ubuntu... or install a 32 bit chroot and run b...

follow this, but say "edgy" instead of "hoary" in the sources.list and such http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 I stopped before installing synaptic then I changed my chroot's sources.list [/usr/chroot32/etc/apt/sources.list from the point of view my regular install] to contain: deb http:...

or you could build from a chroot environment

My question is if there is any way for me to compile a 32bit version on my 64bit system? yes, you can, but I am not an expert as to how essentially: install 32 bit libraries and build dependencies for the 32 bit version of blender, and modify the make file [probably you could create and edit config...

did you apply textures using uv mapping in face select mode?

there is no opengl format. Try searching this forum for an opengl export and you'll find a more thorough answer.

there are variations of using linv that will give you close to the effect you desire [you can send a false pulse to stop motion, or reverse the velocity to bring the vehicle to a stop. It takes a lot of playing, and use of python] however, then you'd have to do the accelation yourself [if you want a...

1) the empty doesn't need to rotate 2) the empty needs to stay at the same distance [but in the other direction] across the plane relative to the camera 3) you need anim turned on for the envmap. it should be obvious when you watch it render if the envmap is being rendered each frame like it sounds ...

yes, enable rgba in the render buttons and choose to render to png

.... if you want the shadow to show up on transparent then you need to use a "shadow only" material

yes, it is your graphics card. It is not a blender bug

in whatever ati's graphics option tool is now [or you have installed], play with the texture quality setting [turn it up, higher quality, lower performance]

what graphics card and driver are you using?

also, are you running at 16 bit color? 15? 24?
[this would all be in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf]

I doubt it there's even less reason to than a blender port to the ps3, or even ps2. the psp has hardware unlike anything else blender runs on [without being better, you could argue that the ps3 [and in some respects the ps2] are better than some pcs], and it would be a lot of work to make such a por...

did you install any mouse software recently?

... like the crap that comes with logitech, or microsoft mice?

[also, you're in windows right?]

it sounds like you're running at 16 bits per pixel [65 thousand colors?]... try opening your image in some application like the paint shop pro and converting it to 16 bit color before importing it into your app...
[then save as a bitmap or png, if you save as a jpeg it will be 24 bits again]

blender started not as open source, but as an internal application of NeoGeo in the netherlands. http://www.blender3d.org/cms/History.53.0.html I had trouble learning xsi without a manual, same with 3ds max, same with blender... [that said, I think your points are valid, but will not be addressed so...
