Its great that the Windows Build problems are solved.

@dougw: Next month there will be more, covering also an area that I call "Speculation", which are things that were talked about but might not happen in the near future :P .

Eugene,
OK, neat, the build roubal linked to works for me too.
I have .NET 1.1 and related fixes but not .NET 2 intalled.
It seems you have surmised the issue correctly.
Thanks very much. Off to try now… :o)

That's great to hear. I think I found the issue then and have resolved it. The problem was that some machines don't have the necessary runtime libraries so I included them in the blender.exe (which is why SP1 will work now). My theory is that the .NET framework version 2 installs them, but version 1 doesn't, but I haven't substantiated that.

In either case, I've included how I fixed it on my site's tutorial section (click my name in this post) and on the wiki for building with MS Visual C++ 2005 Express.

Sorry for the delay if you couldn't open it.

Hi!

I wanted to check the displacement modifier with an animated texture, and I have applied a displacement modifier to a mesh,and added a texture.

After that,I have set a Z offset Ipo to the material, and I have noticed a weird thing. Maybe a bug :

The Curve - Extend Mode - Extrapolation can't be set !

Usually, in this mode we get a simple slope adding two points…

Please try it and tell us !

Philippe.

Hi Eugene !

A big thank you for having worked on our problem!

The CVS version available on the link here under you sent me by mail works perfectly !

http://www.geneome.net/blender/blenderfiles/101006%20Blender%20CVS.zip

I have checked it on two computers :

Intel Pentium 4 - 2GHz - 1.5 GB RAM. Quadro FX 1100 on AGP 4X. Windows XP SP1 (Yes, it works with SP1!) Home Edition.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3GHz - 2 GB RAM. Quadro FX 3000 on AGP 8X. Windows XP SP2 Home Edition.

About the Framework.net, as I don't know exactly what it is, this is the information I found making a search in my system files on the Computer with WIndows XP SP1 (I forgot to search on the other one):

File NETFXSBS10.EXE - Version : 1.1.4322.573

I have sent you by email a JPG file a screen capture of the folder including the .NET file.

I hope that it is what you needed.

Thanks again !o)

Philippe.

Eugene, sorry your email got cut in spam settings.
this is the event log entry:
—————————-
Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The reference assembly is not installed on your system.
—————————-
HTH, this is with XPpro and sp2 BTW
I started looking on google for hints and it seems there could be some path info missing or something but it must be the way you have compiled this time.
I am not a real techy so I would rather wait for another build or the official one than hack around… keep up the great work though and thanks for thinking of us :o)
It is really amazing how Blender advances.
I am really looking forward to hearing what Ton is up to….and to hear if there is to be an Orange2…maybe an interview?.. ;o)

@mzungu: It should be on the CVS tree, try there. Else, download one of the builds and extract the script from there.
