  Mesh2 not smooth with 64bit 3.7beta32 (Message 1 to 8 of 8)

Hi,
    I've found that my 64bit (winXP) beta32 is failing to render a mesh2 
smoothly - I get flat triangles not smoothed triangles.
I've tried the same scene with 3.6.1 (32 and 64 bit) and with a 32bit 
beta32 and I get a nice smooth mesh with all 3 versions.

I've not got a minimal scene file (I'm playing with car models) but 
could create one if needed.

sorry if this has already been reported....

thanks

That would help, thanks (though if it happens with the standard demo scenes
also, no need - have you tried this?)

Sorry was late and I'd not thought of the demo scenes.
Results of chess demo in p.b-t.b

thanks

In case anyone had not spotted it... chessmesh uses a mesh not mesh2 so 
the issue is not mesh2 specific.

.... which would have been a surprise anyway, because below the hood they're
actually the same.

(But it rules out the parser as the source of the error :P)

Confirmation: Mesh2 not smooth with 64bit 3.7beta32
  tested with Core2Quad Q9300 and also with a Core i7.
  No problems with 64bit 3.7beta31 or version 3.6

minimal scene:
//------------------------------------------------
#default{ finish{ ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 }}
#include "shapes.inc"
//------------------------------------------------
camera{ location <4,6,-4>
         right x*image_width/image_height
         angle 26
         look_at  <1,0.15,1>
       }
//------------------------------------------------
light_source{<-500,2500,-2500> color rgb 1}
sky_sphere{ pigment{ color rgb<0.25,0.25,0.75>}}
//------------------------------------------------
#declare Fn_1 =
  function(x, y, z)
   {1 -  (-f_snoise3d(x*1.5,y*2,  z*2)*0.25)}
//------------------------------------------------
object{
HF_Square ( Fn_1  , //Function,
             0, // UseUVheight, // 0 or 1
             1, // UseUVtexture,// 0 or 1
             <15,15>, // Res,
             1, // Smooth,// 0 or 1
             "", // i.e. "Mesh2_00.inc", // FileName,
             <0,0,0>,<2,2,2> // box of MnExt,MxExt
           ) //----------------------------------
//#include "Mesh2_00.inc"
  pigment{ color rgb< 1,1,1>}
  translate<0,-1.80,0>
}  // end of HF_Square ----------------------------
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
I hope that helps to find the error.


Thanks to the whole POV-Team!
Great work!

the minimal scene render fine on Linux 64 (compiled from sources).
Maybe some issue with Windows naming of a structure and compiler-related ?

Or something totally different (like the window binary for 64 being build on
uncommitted
sources ?)
