hi, Mr. Bhaniramka,

I got the same problem as this.

But i don't understand how to change the execute
permissions for the libtiff DLL. 

I was trying to google it for answers but nothing is
good enough to solve this problem.

would you please tell me how to change the execute
permissions?

thanks a lot!

Hi Zhendan,

I use Cygwin on my PC which allows me to use traditional UNIX commands 
(www.cygwin.com). If that is not an option for you, all I can suggest is to 
re-download the DLLs from the gnuwin32 web site. Make sure that you download 
and use the installer (click on the Setup link) and then install the 
software with the installer.
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm

Using WinZip typically can lead you into issues like this. I have noticed 
that certain versions of WinZip would modify the file permissions to provide 
only read and write permissions to the archived files and no execute 
permissions. The only instructions that I could find on Microsoft's web site 
was applicable to Windows Server edition unfortunately -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;324067.

May be others on the list have more experience with this?

- Praveen

HI, Dr. Praveen,
I redownloaded the setup files from a different mirror
website. it works. At first I downloaded the setup
files from some asian website, it did not work.

So I think there are some problems with the source
files on some mirror websites.

Thank you very much!!:)

Dear Dr. Praveen,

I just found the real reason,

if I install the tiff version of 3.6.1-2.exe it's
working. 

the newer version 3.7.3.exe does NOT work.

hi, Praveen,

when I am using the vzTMLUTShader to render the
skull(sample) in a different way, it shows this
message:
 

Volumizer Warning: Operation failed
vzLUTManager:bindLUT():attempt to bind a LUT(a62ce0)
that has not been managed

Seems not working properly.

Would you please tell me what's going on with this?

thanks a lot!!!


Warm Regards,

Zhendan Xue

Hi Zhendan,

What kind of graphics are you running your application on? The LUTShader 
implementation uses different OpenGL extensions to implement transfer 
functions... and your system needs to support atleast one of those 
extensions.

Also, how big is the lookup table that you are trying to render and what is 
the data format? Certain formats and lookup table sizes might not work on 
certain graphics systems.

- Praveen

Hi,

We are about to buy a Windows XP system with nVidia grahics card in it. 

We use volume rendering (using Volumizer API) in our 3D visualization  software design.

We designed the software in the SGI Onyx2 system, then ported the codes into Linux environment which we use 3.6 dual Intel Xeon processor with nVidia Quadro FX3000 graphics card.

Now, we would like to switch to XP system with a high end graphics card and already configured two systems for that purpose.

One configuration has Quadro FX 3450 and the other has Quadro FX 3000. The manufacturers either do not list other high end graphics card in their lists of the supported cards or not include as an option for other reasons.

I wonder if there is any compatibility issue of Volumizer with high end graphics card on Windows XP.  The supported nVidia cards of Volumizer is listed as  'NVIDIA GeForce* FX series or later'.   

Furthermore, if we want to configure a double pipe PC system utilizing PCI-X slots,  what is the Volumizer's performance and, if any, there are things we need to take into account in selecting graphicas card, etc.?

 Thanks in advance,

Ahmet

Hi Ahmet,

The higher-end versions of the boards typically contain the same GPU feature 
set along with some other high-end features. Typically, there should be no 
compatibility issues with Volumizer.

When choosing commodity GPUs for running Volumizer, the choice is primarily 
dependent on the existence of following OpenGL extensions -
- GL_EXT_texture3D
    (part of core OpenGL 1.2.... some of the older '1.2 compliant' systems 
ended up implementing 3D textures in software but with the new GPUs, you can 
be assured that this will not be an issue)
- GL_ARB_fragment_program
    or GL_ATI_fragment_shader
    or GL_ARB_shader_objects/GL_ARB_fragment_shader
    (either of these extensions are required for different shaders that you 
might be using in your application).

You would need to make sure that you install the appropriate drivers from 
the graphics vendor to make sure that the above extensions work as expected 
on the system.

Specifically
    - The Quadro FX 3000 seems to be AGP 8x and based on NV30, so I don't 
see any specific issues with it - 
http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.cfm?articleid=446.
    - The Quadro FX 3450 is based on GeForce 6600 GT and that should work 
fine as well - http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.cfm?articleid=446

Regarding double pipes, I am guessing that you mean PCI Express slots and 
not PCI-X? The end application performance will be determined by what you 
expect your application to do and how you write your application to solve 
this problem. If you can ask more specific questions, I can try to you help 
you out. As far as selecting graphics cards is concerned, make sure that the 
motherboard is compatible with the graphics boards that you select and that 
the graphics drivers have been tested to work with that configuration. Some 
googling should help you decide on the final system configuration.

Praveen

Hi there,

I wonder if Volumizer works  or has been tested in the Windows XP 64-bit operating system running on dual processor AMD 64-bit machine?

It is not specifically mentioned in below

http://www.sgi.com/products/software/volumizer/

There are more specific information about Linux and different types of Linux.

Thanks,

Ahmet

Ahmet,

The AMD 64 (aka Opteron) architecture is binary compatible with Intel IA32 
binaries. So, the IA32 versions of Volumizer (both on Linux and Windows), 
work fine on Opteron. We have been using this on our Opteron workstation 
here for some time without any issues.

Having said that, the official Volumizer support statement does not include 
support for AMD 64-bit systems. The primary reason being that our testing 
matrix currently is limited primarily to IA32 systems and testing on AMD 64 
is limited at this point. e.g. We currently do not do exhaustive testing 
with different Linux/Windows distributions or different GPUs on AMD64 as we 
do on IA32. So far, we have only tested this with NVidia GeForce6600 (x16 
PCI Express) running Fedora Core and Windows XP and things work fine on 
those. I would encourage you to test this yourself on your system using an 
evaluation license and purchase a full license only if things work 
satisfartorily for you.

Let us know if you see any specific issues and we would try to take a look 
at them.

Thanks.
Praveen

Hi Ahmet,

> 64-bit operating system running on dual processor AMD 64-bit machine?

Short Answer :  Volumizer has not been tested on Windows XP 64-bit
Edition and isn't officially supported on it. It is compiled with 32-bit
VC++ compiler and is tested on 32-bit Windows XP.

Long Answer : Windows XP 64-bit for AMD64 can run both 32-bit and 64-bit
applications simultaneously. So assuming that graphics hardware is
working fine (i.e proper graphics drivers are installed for them)  and
graphics hardware has the required  capabilities (e.g. 3D texture
mapping support ) then available  32-bit Windows version of Volumizer
_should_ work without any hassles. We haven't got the opportunity to
test Volumizer on Windows XP 64-bit, so if you do it, we would really
like to know your experience with it.

Hope this helps.
- Vaibhav
