I'm using Cycles.cpu
I tried the download you shared and still get the saame grey cycles window.

Will the script work with version 2 of Moi?.

Hi Michael,

> Will the script work with version 2 of Moi?.

I don't know, but most newer complex scripts need functions that are in version 3. You could give it a try though.

Thanks for the feedback Michael, appreciated!.

Hello Max, Michael and all,

because i could not find a binary for OS X on the net i compiled it myself two days ago.
I just want to let you know that it is vers. 1.7.0 standalone and your script seems no
longer compatible with it. Now Cycles requires <cycles> and </cycles> tags in the
.XML files. I also noticed that i have problems with the FOV parameters in the script
and with MoI. Once i completely omitted the FOV parameter in the .XML file, i got reasonably
render result.

Because i don't know if it was tested under OS X i like to ask if you or Michael, or
anybody else knows how to change the script so that it no longer writes in MoI's Temp
directory and how to start the Cycles program with your script under OS X.

Best regards
Stefan

Here's a screen shot showing a test set-up without the FOV parameter usage in your script. With the FOV parameter i get when changing (for zoom-in) up-side down images for example.

Can you give some more details? What is the MoI Temp directory that you're referring to, and what is currently being written there, and what directory do you want it changed to write to instead?

I'm not familiar with this script myself but if I started out knowing some more details that would help.

Hello Michael,

i used Max's Cycles script from here:

http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/

and it writes all files (.xml, .obj, .mtl) required for Cycles in MoI's drive_c/users/Wineskin/Temp/ folder.

I then copy those files to my Desktop in a folder and run then Cycles from the command line.

I would like to be able that the script does not write into the MoI app, instead i would like to see that
it writes for example to a folder on the Desktop.

Best regards
Stefan

Hello Michael,

here's the path seen from terminal:

Hi Stefan, so the temp path is set on line #59 in hte file _Cycles.htm which currently has this:

	var tempPath = moi.filesystem.getTempDir();

To make it go into a directory on your desktop try changing that first trying an OS X native path like this for example:

	var tempPath = '/Users/stefan/Desktop/Cycles/';

Let me know if that makes the files go to where you wanted them or if it still doesn't work.

This may also help the auto launch of cycles to work as well, let me know if that part still doesn't work. At least one problem with the auto launching part was giving cycles a Windows/Wineskin style path name as a parameter instead of a mac native file path, and since cycles isn't a wineskin app it won't understand a Wineskin type path.

Hi Michael,

thank you so much for your quick help! Now it works perfectly. It saves in the proper location and starts Cycles too! :-)
Super!

Best regards
Stefan

You're welcome Stefan, that's great that was all it took to get it working on Mac!

Hi,

I tried to find the download for Cycles Standalone /for Windows 8 and XP) but did not find it.

Any tips are warmly welcome !

Hi Tom,

have you tried this one?
http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/Cycles.CPU.zip

Sorry Max, I did not realize that Cycles is included in the link on your homepage !
So I will try to get it working now - thank you !!

Hi. I tried downloading http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/Cycles.CPU.zip , but i think the file is corrupted, can you please help me somehow.
Thanks a lot for the scripts u make!

Hi David, I just tested downloading http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/Cycles.CPU.zip and it seemed to be fine over here. Did you get a message when trying to unzip it that the archive is corrupted, or was it some other error? I'd recommend deleting it and trying to download it again.

- Michael

Hi Max.
I downloaded http://moi.maxsm.net/media/files/Cycles.CPU.zip, But the file is corrupt. Can you upload it again?

Very sad, this was not more developed, this was the best free option rendering engine for Moi3D if developed.. Is old 5 years..

Hello!

I let myself be seduced and wanted to try cycles. Unfortunately nothing worked. Even though I made a backup of all moi files I played back, I can still use the snapshot function of Max Smirnov in custom ui (Moi V3), but the *.png images are not saved in snapshots anymore. Can anyone help what could be the reason for this?

--> have already discovered the bug. snapshots was no longer released, don't know why - did windows want me not to come to bed again (night work)?
(The folder snapshots was changed to read-only, that must be changed back again to writeable.)

Thanks
Franz
