Why is that ? Strange. Have you tried to execute “ROPlatform setCurrent: ‘athens’”. You can use the easel to set the Athens canvas. Else, simply use the Moose image, it comes with Athens and Roassal properly installed. > I am very excited about Roassal , the more I look at the code and the > documentation the more I realize how flexible it is. Thanks. We took care of having a lean and clean design. Although we are quite satisfied, it is far from representing our ideal yet. One think I would like to remove, is the rendering loop, having it just above Athens, but below Roassal. We will work on this in January I think. > Is Roassal3d part of the Roassal project or is it an outside project ? It is a new and different project. > Also do you plan integrating with Spec ? Will Roassal be a backend for Spec ? We have no plan for this right now. Glamour is well integrated with Roassal. It should be easy to do it with Spec.
