Random error mac version Tweet

[alaman64]

I'm getting these random errors, can't even reproduce it, it happens when touching something on the interface of the plugin. But not always the same tab either.

Which version of the plugin are you using pls?

[alaman64]

I downloaded it a few minutes ago. This is a new install with no previous version. According to the plugin the version number is 1.50.0.22

Thanks. You can see from the error that wxPython (PoserPython's GUI library) is crashing when calling the Cocoa library to redraw the Setup or Material tree. I have reported this issue to Smith Micro, but as they rightly point out - it's really a bug with wxPython in OSX rather than a specific Poser error. I may be able to code around it if I have a bit more info (since I cannot reproduce this error on my current hardware).

Could I ask you to monitor the crashes and let me know...

1) Does it only happen when the Viewport is open? (if YES, does setting Use Priority ON, Low Render Priority, Apply in the Devices tab help)
2) Is it only happening on large scenes?
3) Does it happen after importing a material, changing a node type, or some other action?

I can then investigate in more detail. If I can reproduce the crash on my system, I might be able to code around the wxPython issue.

[face_off]

I have some more info on this - and the news is not good.

The crash happens even if the Viewport is closed. The crash is totally unrelated to Octane, and is caused by a wxPython error (bug report here....http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10085). It looks like Poser has not had this bug fix migrated through to their wxPython code.

The crash seems to happen frequently when Pasting nodes. This is due to the new node being added to the Material tree, crashing Poser due to the above wxPython bug.

I will continue to look into this issue, but it is quite possible there is no workaround

Hi Paul,

Thanks for looking into this, I was not able to see any pattern in the error that I could reproduce. All the scenes were small, and render priority is on low.

Nick

[alaman64]

The only thing that i find consistent is that the error happens when i touch the plugin interface, i was about to change the value for the daylight power when i had the last crash. Poser wasn't doing anything, I was chaining values in the octane plugin.

This is the last error received, looks a little different from the previous one.

Hi Nick

I can reproduce the crash reliably now. As mentioned above, it is a crash inside the OS X implementation of WxPython. I will either need to a) find a code workaround for this issue, or b) remove OS X support for the Poser plugin. Based on the wxPython bug report link posted above, I'm not sure a) is doable, but I will spend some time on it after Easter.

Sorry I don't have better news. Unfortunately things like wxPython are not as robust on OS X as Windows, which makes providing the Octane plugin for Poser Mac a challenging task.

Paul

[face_off]

I have posted an Octane 2.0 build of the Mac OS X plugin, which I believe resolves the crash that people were experiencing with this version. It requires OS X 10.9.4 or later. See http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=41240.

Thanks

Paul
