Re: [Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

Thank you...that version is actually way more stable, and I can see that the raytracer is working now.  Phong shading does work (I was able to pick that successfully), and it works better than the rasterized Gouraud (as expected).  I just don't see any shadows cast created on the polygons my fil

Re: [Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

I highly recommend you use Manta r2439. As far as vtkManta's use of Manta goes, that version is the most stable and newer Manta versions are known to cause it to crash. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. R&D Engineer 28 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-371-3971 x109 On Tue, Mar

Re: [Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

Hi Sohail, if you are using 3.8.0, it is true that you will need to start a server (pvserver) and connect to it to allow manta to work "properly" with ParaView. You don't need to run in MPI, but it has to be in a different process than the client. (I mean no built-in mode) On the other hand, once

Re: [Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

Thanks.  It turns out that I am working with an older version (3.8.0) since I am making preparations for a paper (due next week) and some code hasn't been ported to latest version yet. I basically have to add the plugins in the "Remote plugins" section o fthe Plugin manager.  The plugin's a bit

Re: [Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

Hi Sohail, you should just close the default 3D view and create the Manta one by clicking on its button. Then any object that you create will be shown in that raytracer view... And with the latest implementation, you don't need a remote server anymore. Seb On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 4:18 PM, Sohail

[Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

Hi, I have been able to get Manta raytracer to compile with paraview and load in as a plugin.  I even see the extra GUI options in the "display" tab of certain filters like the Tube filter.  I'm just wondering how to get something raytraced as a result. I did a bit a research via the list and

Hi Ken, This is great. I will work with the scientific programming team that came up with the file to see if we can go anywhere with it. Thank you so much for taking the time to look into the file. best -simon On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Moreland, Kenneth wrote: > Simon, > > After taki

Re: [Paraview] loading nc formatted data

Simon, After taking a look at your zos_*.nc file, I believe the problem is that the bounds variables (specifically lon_vertices and lat_vertices) are incorrect and causing malformed cells. The proper format for these variables according to the CF convention is documented here – http://cf-pcmd

[Paraview] having two "plot on line" in a same window

Hi, I am a new user of paraview. There is a simple channel and I want to see the x velocity profile of inlet and outlet in a single plot. I can get the profiles for each one separately through the filter of "plot on line" But it is highly desirable to have both in a single plot for comparison. T

Re: [Paraview] loading nc formatted data

Hi Ken, Thank you again for your help. Is there another wiki page that also describe all the xml used syntax in the http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo ? It may help for me to have an overall picture of the xml syntax used? thanks. And is there a complete example out there that show the

Re: [Paraview] cpack error

Hello David, I have the same problem as Koen mentioned. In my case I had compiled ParaView 3.10 on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2008. Everything is fine and I can run the compiled version. But packaging with CPack results in the same error message but at another position. I send you the last pa
