[stand-by] Image viewer cashes Wings3D on Linux

[Phil92]

Hello Micheus,

The official wings3d available (and installed in my xubuntu 18.04) in the software library for ubuntu is wings3d 2.1.5-3 (31/03/2019).

I've a download a appimage file for wings3d 2.2.4 > Wings3d_2.2.4_mx18-1.3_amd64-x86_64.AppImage

I've installed wings3d 2.2.5 with the command lines below :

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
sudo flatpak install flathub com.wings3d.WINGS

You can find my pc setup in the html file attached

Best regards

Phil

One idea of flatpak (and similiar systems) if security, so flatpak applications will not see
the rest of your hard-disk.
Thus it will not notice your povray installation.

That's a bummer but flatpak installation will not see any renderers

Now you are using xubuntu and the linux build on wings3d.com/download is built on ubuntu 18.04,
so that build should work for you.

Hi dgud,

Many thanks, i understand why my Povray install not appear in wing3d 2.2.5 > "That's a bummer but flatpak installation will not see any renderers"

OK, I must choose in download page > wings3d.com/download > Linux (64b Ubuntu 14.04) > wings-2.2.5-linux.bzip2.run

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Phil92, that is a mix of things/versions - there is nothing better them correct information to drive us to a better direction.

I must choose in download page > wings3d.com/download > Linux (64b Ubuntu 14.04) > wings-2.2.5-linux.bzip2.run

Please do that and give us a feedback. Then we can continue to try find a solution it you are still having problems with the image no loading.


In case you don't get success even using the dgud's recommendation, lets continue ...
As I could find in your system log your PC has 8GB memory and your GPU is a Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series], but that was not specific about its memory. Trying to look for something the most bigger I found was 1GB.
Are these informations correct?

[Phil92]

Hi Micheus,

Yes i have 8GB of RAM memory in my PC.

I've 256 MB of memory in my Radeon graphic card

I am currently testing this new version 2.2.5

Phil92, 256MB is little low amount of memory for a GPU nowadays. I think just a few 3d apps can work with this, including the limited OpenGL support.

Take a look at that information I asked you about OpenGL.

nigec, to keep things organized I moved our latests posts to a specific thread: Wings3D running in VirtualBox [Linux]
This way we can keep adding and sharing information about that subject.

Hi Micheus,

OK my graphic card is to small with 256MB of memory

I've realised some rendering tests below :

TEST POV RAY 3.7.0.4-2

CAMERA CUSTOM 1094x873 > yes (rendering is OK in wings3d 2.2.5 and 2.1.5)
CAMERA CUSTOM 1094x874 > no (rendering crash wings3d 2.2.5 and 2.1.5)

TEST YAFARAY V3

CAMERA CUSTOM 1094x873 > yes (rendering is OK in wings3d 2.2.5 and 2.1.5)
CAMERA CUSTOM 1094x874 > no (rendering crash wings3d 2.2.5 and 2.1.5)

But in my terminal command line, there is no problem of rendering.

povray sphere_plan_export.pov +W1094 +H874 +FN +osphere_plan.png
(the rendering is ok in my terminal, i see the picture appear and at the end the picture window close.)

povray sphere_plan_export.pov +W1094 +H873 +FN +osphere_plan.png
(the rendering is ok in my terminal, i see the picture appear and at the end the picture window close.)

povray sphere_plan_2188x1746_export.pov +W2188 +H1746 +FN +osphere_plan_2188x1746.jpg
(the rendering is ok in my terminal, i see the picture appear and at the end the picture window close.)

I send my picture sphere_plan_2188x1746.jpg

Best regards

"Rendering crash wings3d ..."
So, some questions:
- do you can provide the dump file? (it uses to be created at desktop on Windows and home folder at Linux)
- is there any message in the Log window (I think I already asked that before)? Open it before you start the render so you can noticed any message being displayed.
- it crashes closing Wings3D or Wings3D window stays alive?
- did you noticed the jpg image created in the render directory you set it to be saved? If that happens, then the crash can be happening when loading the image for preview.

Make this a check list and answer me. Remember, I'm not sit at your side and my PC is not as the same as yours.
There is no way we try to figure out what is happening in your side that doesn't uses to happen for the other users.

Here's a video of the behaviour in the Povray context:
