Sorry, I cannot set Opencl preview level above 0. I've installed opencl libraries (in case it was the problem) but without results. Is this enabled?

Thanks for your effort.

RE: New Release 1.5.3 available - dgud - 04-14-2014

Set OpenCL proxy level to 3 (for testing) otherwise 2 is good enough for large models.
Create a cube and press SHIFT-TAB should give you a sphere.

Otherwise open the console window and see if you get any output regarding OpenCL?

You should not need to install anything else than good graphics drivers,
only if you are a developer should you need to install additional drivers.

On mac (and on some linux) depending on graphic cards add:
{cl_type,cpu}.
to your preferences file.

RE: New Release 1.5.3 available - Asticles - 04-14-2014

Hi,

I have a windows system with modern nvidia graphics card and updated drivers.
Nothing in console regarding opencl (except the path to the opencl drivers I installed), and the levels option is greyed son cannot be selected.

Thanks for your fast reply. Also, levels are set at settings-misc page? Is there any config file where can be set?

RE: New Release 1.5.3 available - dgud - 04-14-2014

It works fine for me with 1.5.3 64b (or both) version.
I do not know how to help you.

Does it work for anybody?

Asticles,
Your video card may not support OpenCL. See the following link for possible options to get OpenCL preview to work...

Thanks,

About the "greyed out" OpenCL proxy settings:

[Image: flgbyh.jpg]

On my system all OpenCL settings (0 - 5) are working!!!
System: NVIDIA GTX 690

I noticed in an SMOOTHING-STRESS-TEST with a simple Cube:

Wings 1.5.2
POLY MAX: 1.572.864 Polys
SMOOTHING operation from 393.216 to 1.572.864 Polys takes a huge time

Wings 1.5.3
POLY MAX: 6.291.456 Polys
SMOOTHING operation from 393.216 to 1.572.864 Polys is fast
SMOOTHING operation from 1.572.864 to 6.291.456 Polys is not too slow

Arg arg nice to know it works for someone else.
Since I have the developer environment my setup do look a little bit different from the average user,
it do work on my sons computer but he have a AMD card and it have always worked there.

OpenCL only fixes quick-smooth-preview Shift-Tab, not the actual smooth command.
Or are you viewing the 6M faces in smooth preview mode?

Anyway nice cube :-)

hi dgud!
the 6M cube was not meant to check the OpenCL-Proxy,
it was just a test i did between 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 while
using the SMOOTH command... just for fun...
and i want to share that i noticed a big difference on my system between
those two versions.
it´s not a smooth-preview... true polys
what happens, that 1.5.3 can handle more polys?

the smooth-preview seems to work...
- all steps can be altered in realtime after pressing OK in the preferences window
works!!!

thanx, for all your work, dgud ...and also to all other DEVs

In OpenCL proxy mode, there's a seam across the virtual mirror edges, even though they are soft. This doesn't occur in regular proxy mode.
