"Hey Sal !
Hope this finds you well.
Sorry, no answers in this reply, but your input will help me. I'm thinking about VRAY as an alternative renderer to Flamingo nxt. I need a quick-shot ratrace renderer for my animations (BO-1/32 is an…"

System Question
3 Replies
I'm running RH-4/32 on an i7/64 system, in compatibility mode. On my -XP/32 laptop, the animation renders fine, albeit VERY slow... and I get great results. I've disabled ALL possible PLugins except…Continue

Floating my Boat II
I'm guessing based on the nature of the responses to my previous post on this subject, that either what I'm asking for isn't possible or the secret can only be had for $. Either is reasonable. The…Continue

Floating my boat !

I have a boat I want to float in an animation. It'll perform some basic operations on the surface. I'd like to animate the water surface. Where might I find a plugin or recommended simple method to…Continue

Object Snaps on extruded Solid
2 Replies
I extruded this solid from planar curves created by filleting a square (outside) and Offsetting it inward. I then extruded the 2 "square" curves to create the "leg". I wanted to 3D-Rotate the leg…Continue

Charles Fee replied to Richard's discussion 'Dimensions not showing in rhino 4'"Have you looked into the version of OpenGL your card uses ? The last CONSISTENT card implementation of OpenGL I've experienced was an Nvidea GT-240 w/ 1Gb V-Ram, but there have been significant advancements, since.
In my RH-3/32…"
Charles Fee replied to Marcos Taquechel's discussion 'Rhino 5 crashes'"I've noticed similar problems with my Win-7/PRO-64 on I7x4,3.4 16Gb RAM system. Its possible your'e running into a RAM limit issue, but MY VISTA-32 is ROCK STEADY at RH-4/32, and my files approach 1/2Gb, with the typical being around…"
Charles Fee replied to sid porobic's discussion 'Boolean operation'"John-
GREAT background info. I've found that when someone is having a specific problem, tho, a specific response works really really well. Assuming the model is set up based on an appropriate template, tolerances should be about right.…"
Charles Fee replied to sid porobic's discussion 'Boolean operation'"Hi !
Actually Booleans work fairly well in RH-4. Now, don't misunderstand me, problems like yours are both more frequent than they ought to be AND the solutions aren't nearly as easy for find as they ought to be.
So-
Here's the scoop…"
Charles Fee replied to David Pearson's discussion 'New view types?'"Sounds like memory capacity. Rhino runs fine on almost any capable computer, you just have to know what the limits - usually RAM - are. The active display items run in video RAM while renders run in main system RAM. If your PC - or older…"
Kunal Ghevaria replied to Charles Fee's discussion 'System Question'"That sure is a mystery... I agree that the memory management is not great in Rhino.
Hope you find a solution soon!"
Charles Fee replied to Charles Fee's discussion 'System Question'"64 bit Software upgrade is probably in the near future. I'm working on it !
However, as mentioned in my post, that's not a viable solution to the problem at hand.
I'm running an i7-2600/3.4+, NVIDEA 550t/1gb, 16Gb RAM, 1 TB 7200 RPM…"
Kunal Ghevaria replied to Charles Fee's discussion 'System Question'"Can you post your machine config details, so people can get an idea if the hardware is the problem?
Personally, I've found HUGE improvements with 64-bit Rhino / V-Ray when rendering...
I'd highly recommend upgrading to a 64-bit OS."

I'm running RH-4/32 on an i7/64 system, in compatibility mode. On my -XP/32 laptop, the animation renders fine, albeit VERY slow... and I get great results. I've disabled ALL possible PLugins except Bongo-1. I even run the animation renders using VIEWPORT DISPLAY. When I run the same model in RH-4-BO-1/32 in compatibility mode (4gb limit) about frame 225 all of the materials drop out. The surfaces are still there, and the assignments are still there, the image just drops out. I've set to…See More
Charles Fee replied to Brandy Kirby's discussion 'Orient Line on Surface ??'"Seems a redo (re-run the command) using this exact method and these exact components with a correcting "scale" factor of not "1" but rather "10/9.868" would be the right answer. I get…"

Charles Fee replied to Michael Viviano's discussion '(PC) Desktop specs for optimized rendering?'"WOW ! This is GREAT News ! THANKS ! Seriously. Since in-viewport rendering (as far s I'm aware) happens on the GPU with only final renders taking place back at the main processor, this could be a real game changer. SO- It ssems that the right…"

This agrees with my experience, too. Your input that the "buckets" get shared across cores really clears up that piece of the puzzle for me, but makes me want those extra 2 cores available in a 6-core processor !!! How do you think…"
