<br>
finally I found some time to compile and test the itasc branch.<br>
<br>
- Some notes - <br>
<br>
Test system:<br>
<br>
Ubuntu 9.04 32 Bit<br>
Intel QuadCore 3,2 Ghz<br>
4 GB Ram<br>
NVIDIA 8800 GTX 512 MB with NVIDIA prop. driver<br>
<br>

1) With Compiz/3D effects enabled the game engine seems to run pretty
unstable<br>
2) Compiz also seems to mess up the menues like "Armature" "Bone" or
"Contraints" Menue (screenshot: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.icram.de/itasc_scale.png">www.icram.de/itasc_scale.png</a>)<br>
3) When recording an animation and replaying it one core is completly
busy (100%)<br>
<br>
<br>
":)"<br>
1) The menu-settings for the IK are pretty nice and clearly arranged<br>
2) The solver works very well and seems to be smarter/smoother than the
"normal" solver<br>
3) The scons installer works flawlessly<br>
<br>
<br>
That's the my first impression on the current itasc branch. I compiled
it myselft - I didn't<br>
use the binaries provided by benoit.<br>
<br>
Here's a small video showing the demo: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vimeo.com/6761002">http://vimeo.com/6761002</a><br>
<br>
<br>
A general question: When moving the IK chain controlled by an EMPTY
(target) in 3D View <br>
the solver sometimes "jumps" from pose A to pose B. During replaying
and animation the solver<br>
doesn't jump that much - so why is that? <br>
<br>
Cheers, Florian<br>
<br>
P.S. @itasc guys: Pretty nice valueable work by all means!<br>
