This has me much confused. Any code involving a mesh{}, under the
Superpatch 3.1e for Windows, produces the error:
Attempt to malloc zero size block (File:
C:\incoming\povsrc\super31a\PARSE.C Line: 3796).
I did not compile the Superpatch from source, and nor does the directory
and file above exist on my hard drive.
For example, even the simplistic:
camera {location 3 look_at 0}
light_source {<0,10,5>,1}
mesh {
triangle { <0,0,0>, <1,0,0>, <0,0,1> }
}
dies at line 5. I know that a few months ago I rendered a scene on a
different computer, with the Superpatch, involving a mesh, and it
worked. So either I have a more recent version of the Superpartch which
doesn't deal with meshes, or my install of the Superpatch is flawed.
Anyone else know of this?
Thanks,
-Alex Vandiver

As far as I know it is a known bug in the SuperPatch that has been
fixed in the next version but has not yet been released.

While we're on the subject, any chance, Ron, of a quick service release of
the superpatch with this bug fixed! I'm desperate for the facilities of the
superpatch to use with meshes.

Your wish is my command. There's a preliminary version of 3.1g in the
usual place...

You make my day.
Looks like I'll be able to render some grass and trees again in the Superpatch
