| 01:51.32 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: Rays parallel to the plane of a bend that missed the bend segment were producing |
| 01:51.32 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: error messaages from rt_poly_findroot(). Added a check for these misses in the |
| 01:51.32 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: bend segment shot routine (probably improves performance, too!!!). |

| 14:11.10 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: The test for Tk failued for me on several platforms with no valid |
| 14:11.10 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: DISPLAY set (perhaps due to an X server running and just assuming |
| 14:11.10 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: unsetting display will do it? or perhaps tcl84, which worked... |

| 14:11.11 | CIA-27 | BRL-CAD: supporting framework and this seems to work consistantly for me. |

| 22:57.20 | jtmuzix | how would brl-cad run on a blade 2500, 2 X 1.6 ghz sparc IIIi, 4 gigs ram, 176 x 2 scsi HD, XVR1200? |
| 22:58.52 | brlcad | about 1729 |
| 22:59.16 | jtmuzix | huh? |
| 22:59.25 | brlcad | exactly what I was thinking with your question :) |
| 22:59.28 | brlcad | what do you mean? |
| 22:59.35 | brlcad | it'll run |
| 22:59.35 | jtmuzix | i mean would it be dog slow |
| 22:59.39 | brlcad | it should run just fine |
| 22:59.41 | jtmuzix | or could it render decently |
| 22:59.57 | jtmuzix | i realize that this box is a bit older |
| 23:00.01 | brlcad | depends what you're comparing it to, should be okay |
| 23:00.07 | jtmuzix | ok |
| 23:00.10 | brlcad | i mean it's not blazing, but it sure isn't dog slow either |
| 23:00.35 | brlcad | if you want a better feel, install brl-cad and run the "benchmark" tool |
| 23:00.51 | brlcad | that will give you a linear metric that will quantify its performance |
| 23:01.35 | jtmuzix | cool then I'll compare the blade 2500 performance to the performance of my 1.6ghz turion64x2 laptop |
| 23:01.54 | brlcad | yep, should give you a perfect comparison metric |
| 23:02.13 | brlcad | at least holistic cpu performance that directly relates to the render performance |
| 23:03.15 | jtmuzix | and then I'll compare it to my apple 8-way |
| 23:03.16 | jtmuzix | heh |
| 23:03.17 | jtmuzix | :P |
| 23:07.28 | brlcad | it's run on an apple IIc before and systems far older |
| 23:08.32 | jtmuzix | I'm trying to run MGED and it says it's missing the database |
| 23:09.06 | jtmuzix | must not be vista compatiable? |
| 23:09.07 | brlcad | you have to create/open a database |
| 23:09.13 | brlcad | it doesn't create one for you by default |
| 23:09.21 | brlcad | until you ask it to open one |
| 23:09.24 | brlcad | run "opendb test.g |
| 23:09.31 | brlcad | s/"// |
| 23:09.38 | brlcad | or go to File->New |
| 23:10.54 | jtmuzix | wow this program is pretty advanced |
| 23:11.15 | jtmuzix | what other cool 3d programs are available for sparc? |
| 23:11.22 | jtmuzix | engineering related... |
| 23:11.32 | jtmuzix | or is this the best one that's free |
| 23:11.58 | brlcad | it's of course pretty much the best one |
| 23:12.04 | brlcad | and i'm not at all biased |
| 23:12.07 | jtmuzix | that's cool |
| 23:12.12 | jtmuzix | its great |
| 23:12.20 | jtmuzix | now I'm going to go install it on my blade 2500 |
| 23:12.25 | jtmuzix | actually before i do that |
| 23:12.26 | brlcad | did you run benchmark? |
| 23:12.28 | jtmuzix | I want to run a test |
| 23:12.46 | jtmuzix | i need to create something that is highly 3d with z buffering and special effects |
| 23:12.52 | jtmuzix | something simple but that will push the CPU |
| 23:12.57 | jtmuzix | and then I want to benchmark |
| 23:13.12 | brlcad | there's a sample geometry file that is mildly complex to render |
| 23:13.40 | brlcad | havoc.g in your Samples folder if on Windows and in your /usr/brlcad/share/brlcad/VERSION/db/ directory on other platforms |
| 23:14.01 | jtmuzix | how do I run it? |
| 23:14.11 | jtmuzix | i have it loaded,now what? |
| 23:14.40 | brlcad | e havoc |
| 23:14.50 | brlcad | or go to Tools -> Geometry Browser |
| 23:15.05 | jtmuzix | this is frickin awesome |
| 23:15.07 | jtmuzix | wow |
| 23:15.10 | jtmuzix | i'm impressed |
| 23:16.35 | jtmuzix | i need to learn commands so i can do stuff |
| 23:16.40 | jtmuzix | I see the helicopter |
| 23:16.47 | brlcad | there's a bunch of docs on the website |
| 23:16.56 | jtmuzix | now i want to move it aorund and push the CPU more, add texture if possible, etc etc |
| 23:16.57 | brlcad | the mged quick reference sheet is good for commands |
| 23:17.15 | jtmuzix | is it possible to add texture in this program? |
| 23:17.18 | jtmuzix | and details |
| 23:17.19 | brlcad | there's a pretty detailed set of tutorials there as well, though they are gui-centric |
| 23:17.32 | brlcad | there is a texture shader, yes |
| 23:17.35 | jtmuzix | cool |
| 23:17.43 | jtmuzix | this will keep me busy for aw hile |
| 23:18.27 | brlcad | textures aren't generally used heavily, but it is there -- you'll want a stack shader that has texture and some other shading shader (like plastic) if you do apply one |
| 23:18.41 | brlcad | the advanced tutorial (vol III iirc) goes into how to use them |
| 23:20.03 | jtmuzix | I see |
| 23:20.07 | jtmuzix | thanks for the information |
| 23:20.11 | brlcad | talk to you later, I'm here most of the time when I'm not eating ;) feel free to ask more questions and idle or whatever suits ya .. cheers ;) |
| 23:20.15 | brlcad | np |
| 23:20.20 | jtmuzix | thanks agian |
| 23:45.16 | ``Erik | the interactive display is just wireframe, the textures and stuff are all for raytracing |
| 23:45.38 | ``Erik | so there is no zbuffer or anything going on... :) |
