I’ve been trying to get an image in the Renderer (EX9) window, but it only stays grey. I’m new on vvvv and don’t know how things are supposed to look. I can not see if I’m doing something wrong with vvvv or if it might be something else I have to do with my computer?
For example: if I connect sphere(DX9) to Renderer (EX9), am I supposed to see something happen?
Also when I open the examples that use render(RX9) I can not se anything in the render-window.
many thanks for help!
did you install the DirectX Runtime? if not have a look here. or maybe you are running the hole thing under paralleles in osx?
anayway have a look at the ver helpful tutorials section
m9d
for what i know a grey renderer always means severe problems with your graphics adaptor and/or directx.
check
properties-display-settings-quality
is it 32bit?
do you work on very old hardware?
start with an empty patch.
create a Renderer (TTY) .
then create a Renderer (EX9) .
copy/paste the TTY-log here.
m9dfukc --> you’re right, I use osx! to be abel to run vvvv on my mac I use the program VMware Fusion. I have installed windows xp on my virtual pc and also directX 9.
kalle --> the quality is set to 32bit, both in windows xp and osx! my hardware is not old. here comes the log:
as I know only the new beta supports direct x9. you also have to enable hardware acceleration first (if you use vmware 2.0 beta … somewhere in the settings) for vmware 1.x it won"t work.
hope that helps
best m9dfukc
You got it! it is true that I have the early version of vmware. i’ve already been through some problems with vmware. now i’ll try boot camp!
thanks a lot for your kind and helpful answers!
Use BootCamp if you’re serious with vvvv, all other solutions like VMWare are not recommended as they impose a lot of (known) problems not known to beginners. Unless you just want to try something out quickly (not using directx), use BC.
