Hi yall, I'm interested in knowing if anyone is successfully using Softimage, and in general all other CGI apps you might be using, in a VMWare instance? If so are there any caveats one should be aware of? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical

I find that Softimage and other 3D apps work well in VMs when the VM is running a Windows OS. But I've had no success running Softimage and other 3D applications in a VM when it is running Linux. These days I prefer VirtulaBox over VMWare, but that is a personal preference thing. Best regards,

I've had the opposite experience. At work we have VMWare on Linux and it runs Softimage and other AD softwares just fine. On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at 9:40 AM, Ben Houston b...@exocortex.com wrote: I find that Softimage and other 3D apps work well in VMs when the VM is running a Windows OS. But

Hi Alan, No way? You mean you have a VM running Softimage on Linux? What Linux OS are you running inside of the VM? Did you do anything special to get it running? I've wasted countless hours try to get the required video card drivers to work on Linux inside of a VM. I think that cumulatively

I think there's been some confusion... At work I'm on Linux (CentOS 6.2) and my VMWare VM is virtualizing Windows 7, where Softimage runs swimmingly. Was it a VM virtualizing Linux and running Softimage that was the issue for you? I never tried that as we use Linux natively here. On Mon, Jan

To be fair though... getting Softimage running on Linux in general isn't for the faint of heart. VirtualBox is cool... it's free and all. But performance wise it's quite bad. VMWareFusion is quite speedy on my home machine. It's the only way I run windows at home anymore. On Mon, Jan 14, 2013
