Re: Ok, OK I will do it, only because I can.
Hi Timo and Jean-Sebastien, Isn't this exaclty what the wiki is for? Just create a page for thequestion (as in an empty page for the tutorial) and people will createthe tutorial if they feel up to it. It's centralized and everyone canedit it. I agree. Iirc collecting worthfull information from the mailing list was one of the main reasons to initiate the wiki. The mails are already collected in two archives and now making new websites with tips from the list would scatter the information more and more and that's excactly what we didn't wanted. We should not keep the knowledge to ourselves. I'll show the example, I will update my website with the trick about the displacement rendering speed (someone gave me a while ago on this list). It would be nice if you could show this at the wiki!? -- Bye Boris - http://www.3ddart.com - Realsoft Image Contest - http://www.realsoft.org -

RE: Ok, OK I will do it, only because I can. was : no wiki problem
I don't have time to understand how WIKI work, remember I am lazy and physicly sick. It's better to host our own tutorial and Robert can always link transparently to them. That way it is easier to make changes. My webstite capacity is 1 gig (there is no limit in fact). So forget WIKI. I made an update yesterday on my website www.neuroworld.ws There are some errors with some links that will be corrected tonight. And by the end of the weekend, all the tutorial will be completed. Please send me your comments. What if WIKI dissapear, Who is WIKI? Recently, I saw some messages from WIKI in some of their pages telling the users to remove some material because there was too much informations not related to an encyclopedia. Wiki is just an encyclopedia, not a place to store informations. I believe that sooner or later they will check that people limit their post to essential information. The best is Robert website for people without a website. It's the best realsoft website. But remember one thing, My website is also a publicity, it's a commercial tool. When I created the tutorial, It wasn't because I wanted to share informations, it was because I wanted some visit on my website. I am not writing on this forum to help people, it's only to make people think of me for my own glory. So writing on my own website is an investment, writing on Roberts website is not.

Jean-Sebastien Perron www.neuroworld.ws Jean : Sorry , I know your heart is in the right place , but no , this is not a good idea . There is already too much splintering going on as far as Web Sites with RS inform- ation on them . Right , now , in my opinion , the best thing to do is pick the #1 RS site and work toward expanding it's know- ledge base . That site , in my humble opinion would have to be Robert denbroeders Web Site . Robert is a selfless person who is not only a beta-test- er , but also a huge supporter of the Realsoft3D community in many, many ways . Have a look at his tutorials alone ! http://members.chello.nl/rbroeder/ BJ is another , but he runs the forum , which can be very usefull too , of course . As I said in an earlier mail , Satu was in the process of constructing an official , extensive Realsoft3D Web Site before she left the community (I know she is probably still around somewhat and wishing I would cool down) (grin) . I would say get behind Robert's initiative with the energy that you have . Get in touch with Robert and ask him if you could write a tutorial and if he would host it . This is really what the RS3D community actually needs I think. A single site for people to go to first , with extensive tutor- ials and 3D objects Textures Links (etc etc etc) . If you look closely at Roberts Layout you will see he has the most perfect design . It's brilliant , actually , by a longshot. Adding pertinent info to your own RS3D interface could be as easy as visiting Roberts site and clicking on your Tab of choice ... I myself tried to create Realsoft3D tutorials that would fit right in with Roberts basic Web Page design . It's a good solid basic design and easy to use . What do you , yourself think about this suggestion ? Garry

Re: What is the best LINUX distribution would you recommand for realsoft?
Hallo ShaddamIV, What is the best LINUX distribution would you recommand for realsoft? Jean-Sebastien Perron www.neuroworld.ws I have installed Realsoft3D on SuSE and Debian. At work I've installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu is based on Debian. Ubuntu is focussed on the graphical desktop user. Very easy to install. You insert the CD, boot into the live system, play around and then simply choose from the menu "Install on HD". Nice thing. In my experience Realsoft3D doesn't need special features of the distribution. So, all Linux Distributions should work. There are three things which needs further investment. First is the GUI library. RS3D need the original Motif-Libs. As I installed it on a Debian Box, I simply copied the binary lib from a SuSE Box. It simply works. An important point is the window manager. RS3D uses extremely the left Alt-Key. But under X11, the left Alt-Key is traditionaly used for manipulating windows. I use BlackBox. BlackBox has the nice feature that I can simply press the Scroll-Lock-Key and the left Alt-Key will be directly routed to the application. That's a nice feature. Another point is the hardware-acceleration of OpenGL. There I have no experience. Ati and Nvidia provide more or less closes source driver for their cards. As I've heard, it's not so hard to install an Nvidia-Card. The best advise on which Linux-Distribution you should use is simply: Use the distribution your friend uses. ;-) -- Viele Grüße, Yogi Marc Michael

George Jenner wrote: I use Mandriva quite happily. Simple to set up. Good francophone support if you need it. Main problem is that Realsoft won't work with KDE (or Gnome?) using their default Window Managers. All is well if you run it in IceWM (or use IceWM under KDE). I run Enlightenment 16(beta) for my window manager, very lightweight, fast and has some great window options, like window shading, pager type windows that shade either left or right and other nice things. Also Enlightenment cooperates well with both Gnome and KDE applications. Enlightenment should be available under most major Linux distributions and has not ever seemed to be the cause of any issues with RS. More problematic may be hardware issues. My Dell wont work with Suse. My Nvidia graphics cards are better supported and recommended by Realsoft. My ADSL modem won't work with anything. I'd choose a distribution for hardware next time. I have had little issues with hardware and as far as I know, the best reason to use NVidia under Linux is NVidia's Linux support; not quite up to the point of the Windows drivers but quite functional. I have read of many troubles and much dissatisfaction concerning ATI cards and drivers under Linux. That said, I have no personal experience and have not heard tell of the driver status lately; something I would advise anyone thinking of putting together a Linux to system to do before purchasing any hardware (hmm, isn't that what George said ; ) I see now this isn't the linux list. Will take the opportunity to say g'day. Zaug I'm back down under and chained to a non-3d related desk, but when my computer comes out of quarantine (it's in a shipping container at Botany Bay waiting for me to find a place to live) I promise to greeble you a city :-) Greetingz George, I will both hold you to and be looking forward to it : D Zaug -- My love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed my mind. |8?o
Re: no wiki problem
However, since you've commented about the lack of mailing list archives, I offer you my archive. It goes back 3-4 years and includes all attachments. I might have lost one or two posts due to past computer hiccups. If you're interested, email me off-list. Amir Thanks for the offer , but I have a very elaborate archive that goes way-way back to V3.x . I feel that I should put you straight , however . I wasn't asking for help from anyone . I was suggesting that those with advanced knowledge share it with the community . You and Jason are telling me how I should work hard and learn , but I've known that for many years now . I wasn't suggesting that Jason create an advanced Gi tutorial for me , I feel I have a very good grasp on RS3D Gi now for the last 2 years . I was suggesting Jason share some of his project files , or at least create a project file that he could share , so _THE REST_ of the community could begin to come to grips wuth RS3D Gi . Somehow , you 2 percieve a tiny possibility that I am asking for myself . If I was , I wouldn't attemp to shame someone into finally sharing some concrete tutorials , of course . What I was actually trying to accomplish , was to once again point out that the Realsoft3D community's success hinges on selfless giving and sharing via HTML tutorials . Not by firing off emails while at work , or showing us yet another awesome render . Garry
