If LuxRays is GPL'd then I'm afraid that RS3D will not be able to
use it. RS can make use of OpenCL or CUDA though, which are also
about running rendering code on GPUs.

Try opening a new view window, set the view and render properties

If you don't need the AVI functionality then

You could try setting up a symlink from your libavcodec.so.52 to
libavcodec.so.51 but if the library entry points have changed
between those two versions then you'll likely just get a different
error message and still won't have the functionality.

Yeah - the fonts are recognised by everything else ok, no tops or

It's a strange problem, for sure - especially as you're using

one system I have that can dual boot in to XP (all my

800Mb after booting (even after stopping a lot of unnecessary
progs/accessories from loading) whereas Linux only occupies about
220Mb for code and data and will use any remaining ram for cache.
I haven't got any 64 bit systems, so can't comment on the

You will need to do a bit of playing around with both the size of
the atmosphere sphere and the turbidity of the atmosphere material
to get the right effect; iirc, the model in that image was done to
about 1/1000 scale, so it's very big in absolute terms. Also, be
prepared to make the atmosphere sphere a lot bigger than you might
have expected, to get the effect you want.

you to do it. You may just need to uninstall the proprietary

the best resource for finding out how to do it is the Ubuntu

of Realsoft3D but it's been very quiet for some time now and I'm
