[Bf-committers] Really strange...no rendering at all and materials lost in space

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I am using a blender compiled from CVS as of the time of writing this
 mail.

 --

 First issue:

 I downloaded some models of the Star-Trek series fro blender.

 It is possible to show a shading while pressing ZKEY or SHIFT-ZKEY
 (so the model seems to be ok).

 But pressing F12 to start rendering pops up a black preview window
 and that's it. The CPU-Loadmeter of my desktop does not make any
 move. Adding lamps over and over does not help. ;)

 Second issue:

 From time to time it happens, that the material preview window get
 lost in space.
 Then it is no longer possible to preview any material.

 Workaround:

 Open an additional  button window.

 Enter material bottons and with a little luck a new preview window is
 there.

 Kill old material buttons window.

 Reorganise the whole windows setup of your Blender.

 You're done.

 Keep hacking!
