Threre was a thread some time ago about Lightflow...
I wanted to try it but I run across the same problem whether I run it
with Linux or Windows 98.

When I type the command in a console (after a 'proper' installation)
"python sphere.py", the program returns an error :

>>Error (LlFault):
>>LfNoiseInit()
>>unable to open "noise.dat"

The file noise.dat does exist in the same directory.

Has anyone had the same problem and managed to solve it ?

My apologies if this is off-topic..

Perhaps comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing (in usenet) could be a better
newsgroup?

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

Fairly simple solution. Find the file named 'noise.dat' (it may probably
be in a different directory than the one where your .py script is
located). Move it into the same directory as the script. Render away the
file again. Its a good idea to set your environment variables and paths
so Lightflow knows where to look for other files and such.

I forgot to say that the file noise.dat *is* in the same directory and the
environnement variables are set properly.

Cheers
