Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

F_Rosa In case you installed MaterialX with pip (and only in this case), there could be a conflict between the OpenGL libs provided by the wheel and the ones on your system, which could be the cause of the runtime error ("LookupError: OpenGL support is required"). In such a case, I may pr...

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

Okay, but first I need to understand what's going on. :? The new feature aims at importing rendering material in MaterialX format. For that I use MaterialX framework, which in turns relies on OpenGL for texture baking. But in your case, MaterialX apparently has a problem initialising OpenGL. It cou...

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

It looks an awful lot like that bug... You can fix this inaccuracy easily. But there are no (dis)advantages in FC performance I noted after patching libdrm_amdgpu.so.1.0.0 (in several builds) Thank you. The point is not about performance, it's about OpenGL to work, it's required by MaterialX...

Damn, that was close! It looks an awful lot like that bug: viewtopic.php?style=5&t=66688.
Would you be so kind to see if the proposed workaround might work?

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

The freecadcmd command opens version 0.19, but I also have 0.22 (snap) installed, is there a way to activate it instead of 0.19? Actually, I misspoke, I meant the "Python console" window in the GUI. BUT your feedback is very interesting, as it pointed out a regression to me and gave me th...

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

Wow, it looks like a FreeCAD bug! Indeed, independently from any workbench, this console one-liner succeeds: docname = "test_01"; App.newDocument(docname); App.getDocument(docname) # Success but this one fails: docname = "test-01"; App.newDocument(docname); App.getDocument(docnam...

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

@F_Rosa By the way, I'm looking for someone to test an experimental feature: would you be interested? Of course! You don't even need to ask. It will be a pleasure! Fine! The experimental feature gives access to 2 material libraries on the web, using MaterialX framework. To install it, you have to: ...

Re: New Render Workbench and Cycles renderer - help on output, possible bug and query on filesize

Concerning the file naming: what file do you talk about exactly? Is it the output image file? Yes, it is. Well, I don't encounter the same. I can use indifferently '_' or '-'. It may be OS related: what is your OS (I personnally use Arch Linux)? And what error message do you get when you use '-'? B...
