What does it do? Is it just the gloss reflections or are there any of the other SoC stuff in there? Can we have a Windows Build please?

ZanQdo

1- It has nothing to do with glossy reflections
2- Glossy reflections/refractions is not a GSoC project
3- Miguel told me a Windows build might not be a good idea ATM

Added more info in the post

Aaah. the first baby steps into a great future of near realtime rendering. (At least for those of us who follow the rule of $ per sec of animation, instead of chasing renderbatory fantasies)

Any chance there'll be an option to hide all the extra items drawing (lamps etc.) to allow a clean render? (just a thought)

Love it! Thank you Miguel for the project,and ZanQdo for the build.

Pappy try Ctrl Click on the right of the 3D view header, that will render using OGL

Pappy

Use it all the time, but it's a "dirty" render.. ok, I just tested and it was clean.. getting old(er):( - I must be confusing Blender's with Animation Master shaded output.

Thanks for the reminder. Regardless, this is VERY cool.

Hi, I was wondering, will this work on graphics cards that don't support GLSL?

ZanQdo

nop

uhh.. how do you get it to run? i have installed the official 2.44 fine by just extracting to /opt/Blender\ Foundation/Blender\ 2\.4\4/ but just simply by extracting this.. and then trying to execute the executable, nothing.. :(

mike pan

this is how you enable it. Notice teh TWO circled settings that needs to be changed. Enable GLSL and change the viewport mode.

Thanks mpan, added your screenshot to my build, hope thats ok?

Question: How do I enable normal map previewing in the viewport?

Btw, this thing is really nice guys. Keep up the good work !

when launching this build on Ubuntu7.04, it says it cannot find libgettextlib-0.15.so ... I got 0.16 installed .... any idea ?

mindwrap

this worked for me. (also ubuntu 7.04):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgettextlib-0.16.1.so /usr/lib/libgettextlib-0.15.so

good luck (and don't blame me if this turns your machine into a toaster...)

thanks... linking saved the first step without nuclear war...:) ...
but some bug, then start, with a small advice : GLSL shader supported ... then when I click on the glsl preview button : glsl compile fragment error - glsl support disabled ... :/
I got a huge error report in the console...

maybe it's interresting for devs, I'll post it somewhere

-----
flo : seg fault are common with the 2.44 on ubuntu ... I think it's not this one specificaly

All my models turn out black with GLSL enabled. However, I'm downloading my own via svn, no user-config.py, and compile :
scons -j 4 (speeds up compile time on my dual core)

GLoveSLove

I've compiled svn version under Ubuntu GG (64-bit) and I must post this WARNING:

-- ONCE you use GLSL under Blender YOU WILL GET ADDICTED to it! --

Whole thing is still under heavy development, but some material and light settings are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. In few minutes I've designed materials that takes hours of testing with render tests.

I also get a segfault:
