3Delight DSO crash - Linux

[eddgarpv]

Hello,
I'm having some trouble with the 3delight DSO and McdRunProgram: If I try to do a preview (Miarmy -> RENDER -> Render Preview) and use the DSO Mode, nothing happens. i-display will pop up but nothing gets rendered and nothing gets reported in terminal window.

If I use McdRunProgram, I get the following:
3DL ERROR A2066: RiProcRunProgram: program '/opt/Basefount/Miarmy/bin/3delight_run_program/McdRunProgram' seems to have crashed or terminated early. It should handle multiple requests; one per line.
3DL ERROR A2057: RiProcRunProgram: error reading output of program '/opt/Basefount/Miarmy/bin/3delight_run_program/McdRunProgram'. Missing request response delimiter (0xFF).


Now, If I export RIB archives and use McdRunProgram, it gets rendered without errors. But If I use DSO mode and re export RIB archives, it crashes with:
/usr/autodesk/maya2014-x64/bin/maya.bin: symbol lookup error: /opt/Basefount/Miarmy/bin/3delight_dso/McdRManDSO.so: undefined symbol: RiPointsGeneralPolygons

Any idea what could be causing this? For now I'll stick to McdRunProgram, but the render preview comes handy to see a few agents before exporting..


I'm using 3Delight Pro 11.0.49, Maya 2014 Extension 1 SP2, Linux.

thanks!

Hello Edgar,

Thank you for your feedback,

We'll check this out soon today

But in future the render preview feature might be deleted (in 3 months) because:
1. it's 3delight-version-dependency and there are complains about this.
2. now Miarmy support real time display preview.

We'll re-write the whole renderman session this month, and make it better to use And the mainly tool will be renderman dso/runprogram based archive.

Best regards!

Ah, ok.
Then forget about it too. I've started learning the new stuff in Miarmy like real time display! I was also about to report the Miarmy Setup Rig bug with IK until I saw the new workflow using HumanIK.

I'm catching up with 3.0.3

Just a quick heads up: If you want to use DSO, set the "Render Mode" to "Export RIB File and Render".
It will create a rib file, a log file with statistics and will render dso instead of runprogram without crashing maya.

[eddgarpv]

But if you want to render interactively (within Maya), just use the LD_PRELOAD variable as a workaround:

setenv LD_PRELOAD $DELIGHT/lib/lib3delight.so

Just add this to your maya script file (in /usr/autodesk/maya2015-x64/bin/maya).
