Hi Yomgui :) It's great that we have the newest Blender on MorphOS. Big thanks for Your work.

In my free time, I've started testing the new port. Unfortunately I found some small bugs.

1. It's not possible enter data values for Rotation in Transform Panel. In this case Blender generate short output text:

location:<unknown location>:-1
File "<string>", line 1
(0,000000)*0,0174533,
^
SyntaxError: invalid token


or just:


location:<unknown location>:-1

In other values like Scale or Location, when you try enter values (like 1,053) be sure to put dot between numbers, not coma like blender show by default (on win version dot is default). Otherwise it will give no effect.

2. Freezing material preview when you swich to wire or between other modes and in consequence it leads to program crash.



Ps. I wonder if there are major obstacles to add "cycles" render engine. Can we expect this feature in the near time ?

Greetings.

Hi,

1) yes, I've already seen the problem. I search if it's due to Python or Blender itself.

2) I confirm this one also. It seems to be caused by some memory trashes. Difficult to found which part of code is responsible.

I have no doubt especially looking on the scale of the project and nature of problem. I wish luck in hunting.

The numeric separator issue is fixed.

Crash in material preview fixed

I'm very happy to hear about this You`re extremely fast. When this fix will be released it will be much easier using Blender on MorphOS. Thank You.

I'm release a binary only, as fixes are quiet important, but I've also made improvement by introducing more Altivec code: the problem is I've not put a revert code to switch between SIMD and CPU code when Altivec is not present.
So you need to have G4 with Altivec enabled... or crashes expected!

I'll release a real archive later, I need to add some more minors fixes and make a no-altivec version for G3 (even if I wonder how we can use blender on a g3 )
