bright diagonal line across render

2012-11-14T21:50:40Z

I noticed a bright, semi-transparent line running from top-left to bottom-right on all in-window raytraced renders last night. (I had Synth Structure running on a 64-bit Win7 with an NVIDIA 650M...I think it's a "switchable graphics" machine, with Intel 4000 graphics, too, but I had set the program to run with the NVIDIA card....)

(Typo Patrol: The "Unsaved changes" dialog has a couple typos: Title "Unsaved changed" S/B "Unsaved changes" and in the body, "loose changes?" S/B "lose changes"? :)

(I'm finally starting to enjoy the program--I am hoping normals on mirrored boxes are fixed soon!)

Best regards,

Matthew

mirrored box normals reversed (1.5.0)

2012-11-14T21:40:56Z

Just getting the hang of things, but I'm finding normals reversed for mirrored boxes (and not spheres) when using fx, fy, or fz as in:

2 * { fx x 4 } box

Expecting two boxes with just "{fx x 4} box" is probably due to my lack of understanding--this instead builds just the mirrored box, with inward-facing normals. (Again, sphere seems O.K.) (Pet peeve: The sensitivity to spaces is a little annoying, at least initially. E.g., "2*" causes a syntax error.)

Combining mirrors as in "2 * { fx fy x 4 } box" builds good boxes, (outward-facing normals).

I'm probably just confused, but I can't seem to get all three mirror planes working:

8 * { fz fy fx x 4 y 4 z 4 } box

...produces just two boxes, and one with normals reversed again....

FWIW!

OpenSuSe 11.3 x64 build failed

2011-11-01T18:45:25Z

Hi. I have several problems with Structure Synth.

1st, There is no such file like qmake-qt4. There is only qmake and qmake for qt3 (for support of legacy code) qmqke-qt4 is something Ubuntu\Debian spicific
2nd, I can't get - from which point in file system do I have to run build.sh? If I run it from trunk/Build/Linux it gets error when it tries to create directory Structure Synth
3rd When I have finally built the executable I got segmentation fault on start, with following backtrace:

#1 0x0000000000464f82 in SyntopiaCore::GLEngine::EngineWidget::updatePerspective() ()
#2 0x0000000000466bf7 in SyntopiaCore::GLEngine::EngineWidget::EngineWidget(QMainWindow*, QWidget*) ()
#3 0x00000000004290f7 in StructureSynth::GUI::MainWindow::init() ()
#4 0x0000000000429e16 in StructureSynth::GUI::MainWindow::MainWindow() ()
#5 0x0000000000415449 in main ()

Could you provide some fixes at least for segmentation fault?

program segfaults at program start

2011-10-27T02:51:31Z

The program has been segfaulting for years in Ubuntu. And compiling the latest svn code does as well.

(gdb) bt
#0 0x001ff516 in glViewport () from /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1

Script Editing Issue

2010-08-20T02:25:22Z

After hitting play I can't edit the script within SS until I click out of the window to another application and then back to SS. The cursor does not appear unless I got though this process.

I am using SS 1.0 on ubuntu lucid

thanks.

S.Synth only renders to a small square initially.

2009-05-10T22:19:13Z

Since I upgraded to the new structure-synth, when I initially render it only renders to a small square in the window. If I toggle fullscreen it's fine, + when I come back to windowed mode it is fine again.

I've tried upgrading my display drivers, but it's still the same. (Note graphics card is Intel 965 - not the best, but certainly worked ok before, OS: Windows Vista).

Note: When taking the screenshot via print-screen, after I pressed it the rendering took up the full-window.

CTRL-W close last/only tab will crash program

2008-07-08T13:35:31Z

Linux aedon 2.6.25-2-686 #1 SMP Tue May 27 15:38:35 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

When closing the last tab, with CTRL-W the program will segfault..

Coredump when closing tabs

2008-04-17T18:57:47Z

It will always lead to a coredump if you press Ctrl-W multiple times to close tabs (and there are no more tabs to close).

It is repeatable bug on my Linux Ubuntu 7.10 box.
