is that running on AMD's yet?

How can poser be used in this?

looks like att img when rendered.  uses  xml file to refer to obj files, hence maybe  can be used with poser obj files (poser 4 matls) at first.

it will import and render a poser collada export (bake textures), but it gave an error for tone mapping, hence it looks like a poser 4 render, if compared to poser 8.  keywords tone and gamma not found in manual.  there are a few other glitches in addition to those.  also rendered sponza atrium but it's the greyscale-mapped version that the rdna guy used in his IDL tutorial - the one with no drapery, plants et al.

The Collada export is what caught my eye.

I guess only 90% of systems will have capability to run this then

well smartypants, I have an AMD Athlon X64 5600+ which when I run it I get told

Fatal Error: This program was not built to run on the processor in your system. The allowed processors are; Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo Processors and Compatible Intel Processors with supplemental Streaming SIMD Extentions 3 (SSSE3) instruction Support.

 

so. whats the answer to that oh wise one? Hmm?

AMD has no SSSE3, only SSE3. One S makes difference.

Why code like this is written is beyond me. It should use the instruction set if its available, if not then process it accordingly. That way it would work on all systems but you may not get all the optimisations.

Just a guess but since it is not Commercial Software perhaps the coders only  bothered to optimize he code for the hardware/OS they personally owned.
I am just glad the people over at blender.org  take the time to support many configurations.

I was wrong - mitsuba does GC/exposure-control renders of poserexport.dae files o.k. 

I reckon GC/tone-mapping wasn't in the manual (which was for coders) because it's self-explanatory, as in other renderers.

Been running a Blender 2.55 build with Mitsuba integrated on a system with dual AMD 9550s for a couple of months...works here.


MagnusGreel ( ) posted Tue, 01 February 2011 at 7:18 PM

ah I've not tried the blender build. is that still using the seperate renderer files as well or is that just the blender file?

It passes the Blender scene to Mitsuba.

Here's the BlenderArtists thread where you can pick up the build:

no good. it's mitsuba that won't run

seems your AMD (later chip than mine) has the needed instruction set. below yours (at least) is iffy.

AMD has no Intel's SSSE3 instructions set and don't know if one day will have, they creating other sets. If some AMDs work and others not, something they did wrong with the CPU detection process.

not worth arguing with kawecki. it never works.

You don't need to argue with me, just go to AMD site and download the documentation.

Hmm...it should since... "The program currently runs on Linux, MacOS X and Microsoft Windows and makes use of SSE2 optimizations on x86 and x86_64 platforms." (Direct quote from the Mitsuba homepage.)* *

Just guessing, but you've got something else conflicting.

Now what that might be...not even a vague glimmer of an idea here.* *

yet I get the error I quoted above.. ah well not that important.

This is conflicting, SSSE3 doesnt exist in AMD and SSE2 AMD64 has it, previous Athlons haven't SSE2

Maybe you are running an old Athlon without SSE2 and Mitsuba is giving a wrong text as error message or the same error message for all kind of problems.

there are a few glitches in re: poser and this renderer beta 0.2.0 (OS X),  in case anybody asks.  but it's not bad.  when ya load it with some imported file, it starts doing the preview, rough at first, but it zeroes in on the preview render after a few minutes.  it looks like a movie of successive approximations to the final render.

Kawecki? I'm leaving the thread. why? because there's this person I can't stand who won't shut up and go away.

 

that person is you.

o.k., maggie's out.  also wanted to mention that when trying to render poser girl (vickie or alyson) in mitsuba, I get rays emanating from the hip area, and they look like stray polygons.  ISTR the guy who distrib. mitsuba renderer may be attributing these to bad normals, but for some reason they don't show up in poser nor carrara, hence IMVHO it's just a bug in early beta release.

Really shouldn't be relavent as the program is supposedly optimized for SSE2 which is supported on the AMD Athalon X64 5600+, the only instruction set difference between that CPU and mine is that mine supports SSE4a also.

At a guess I'm thinking the programmer may be using the Intel Compiler, something that should NEVER be done if you want your coding efforts to be usable on the widest variety of hardware sets. (This is regardless of the settlement reached between Intel and AMD last year after the Federal investigation of Chipzilla.)

It's Open Source-has anyone tried compiling it with gcc++?
