Did some more work and find it's not a glitch but rather a memory limitation as I first thought thus the 64 bit idea. Maybe I'll try to contact the Blender developers and see if there is a 64 bit Mac beta in the works. The Linux 64 for the moment really looks too difficult but it seems Vista...

Thanks for the speedy reply! Yes I don't like the sound of the fan not running properly, just quickly glanced over those links, will look again tomorrow, but it appears more complicated than windows on the Mac. I had thought that Blender was doing these fluid simulations better on a Linux...

Just wondering is it possible to run Linux x86-64, (under Bootcamp) for using Blender: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ If possible, what would be the best (simplest to install) free distro/system?

Thanks ora! This indeed must be the problem.

I am posting this here (not the design and media department) as I'm pretty sure this is related to the operating system. I am making DVDs in DVD Studio Pro 2 many years on and off. These are very basic and simple formats. Recently have been having trouble when I insert them in drives. The...

I am posting this here (not the design and media department) as I'm pretty sure this is related to operating system. I am making DVDs in DVD Studio Pro 2 many years on and off. These are very basic and simple formats I'm using. Recently have been having trouble when I insert them in drives...

This simply is not true. There is no upgrade to DVD Studio ( the single program). This "fee" is hundreds and contradicts the whole spirit and SUBSTANCE of just what has been said before it.... I can't believe the hypocrisy (contradiction) of this is not very apparent..... (...For most...

A lot of "profit-oriented" things are mean spirited. Who Profits? And at who's loss? Something which is not mutually beneficial is not good business. Apple may turn on their professional users now they have the ipod crowd, and still profit but it won't go unnoticed...

This would be of interest here. I paid well over 500 dollars (Apple screws their European Customers big time by changing the euro/dollar rate) for DVD Studio 2 little more than 2 years ago. I don't want final cut pro. Think this is really mean spirited to artificially cripple old versions of...

Thought I would just finish this thread and not leave it in a state with everything broken. Reinstalled the Fink program. Found by default that it doesn't register "unstable" programs. One has to check a box in the preferences to get full 3500 programs listed. Helps to read the instructions...

P.S. The Mystery is Solved (why i wasn't getting the povray part of the package) which is good but now the Commander is Freaked Out, won't work, because the fink.conf file can't be read.......any ideas Please?

Yes, this did appear to be the problem, the line in my fink.conf did not have the unstable bits. I attempted to put your line in but had to change permissions to save, wonder is this all right, anyway got the thing finally save but then the whole Commander freaked out and says: "WARNING...

Hey wait -I don't get this.........POV-Ray is not on the list of the packages Fink supplies, though the Kpovmodeler is(?).......Are you saying I can install this via Fink anyway? -i.e. Fink will work for other Unix programs aside from their listed packages......(strange punctuation here)

Got the OSX Pov-Ray version going somewhat, but it has trouble finding some of its file parts and can only render some simple objects and none of the full sample scenes....... But guess its not going to integrate properly with the Kpovmodeler, Maybe better to run it in the Unix command line...

Got the kpovmodeler to work fine first go, but no rendering because no POV-Ray (no model to render either because I don't know how it works exactly- wonder if you build a model can it be imported into other 3D packages?) Wonder about the POV-Ray now, does one go for the OSX version or some...

ElDiabloConCaca- Thanks for tip on Gimp, as you can see, trying to go the Unix way here......did load Filmgimp, says on blurb "Film Gimp is a motion picture editing tool primarily used for painting and retouching of movie images", but can't see anyway to load a film or filmstrip.......maybe...

GOT IT!! Thanks Wade.

Thanks Again, just one last hint, I do believe everything is installed/ loaded in the right place-X11, Fink, and Fink Com.,and hve got a few Gimp packages which have interfaces but just want to know: WHAT COMMAND TO TYPE IN WHICH TERMINAL WINDOW (TERMINAL, XTERM???) TO BRING UP THE GIMP...

Very, very, interesting..........ah........Dah.......some of these programs don't seem to have interfaces -this is true?.......... Just use these commands?(looking at Potrace a program for converting bitmaps to vectors)........suppose the idea is you do bit of research into each package.........

Thanks again for the encouragement, Chornbe..... Got busy and had to get real for awhile today, just waiting for the evening telephone lines to cool down out here, then will attempt some downloading and see what happens with this X11 + Fink.....
