Aha, google images failed me last night, but those are much better!

Kinda ugly compared to most of the other machines..

I'll see what I can do :)

195mhz 10k's are available, I've seen a fair few on ebay recently in the uk - I'd have thought there would be even more on .com

Well, according to the video, the only way you would run out is if you didn't have the point cloud to a high enough resolution, so you'd just have to make sure you had enough data to be able to create the smallest discernible object?

I'd probably pay it if I had the hardware to run it. I guess I will find out about it all (Lion, iCloud, etc) from banter around the office.

Lion is $29.99, Lion Server is just a bunch of apps you download from the app-store for around $50 from what was mentioned :)

I paid €335 inc shipping to the UK for an Octane V12 (full card carrier etc) earlier in the year from ebay, then I picked up a DCD add on card for $235 if that helps..

There are two on ebay at the moment for €420 and $300 respectively :)

$300 seems very good :)

Wrote on the subject of Looking for the list of Solaris proprietary software at Nov. 27, 2011, 3:02 p.m...
I dug around the 'net and found mention of the following:

Adobe: Photoshop, Illustrator, Framemaker, Acrobat
Matlab
Mathematica
Dassault Catia
Houdini
MentalRay
Electric Image Universe
Nendo
Lightwave
Alias Studiotools
Prman
ProE
SolidEdge

Obviously Oracle is available too..


Other than that, I'm struggling - I never really got to use Solaris at the time - uni had already moved over to 95% windows come 1998..

There's another video here answering a few of the claims made by Notch etc:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVB1ayT6Fdc

Oddly enough they aren't looking for funding or anything else, they're perfectly content to go do their thing and release it when they're happy.

I guess we'll find out in another year or so :)

Just a thought - I've a spare Raspberry Pi hanging around here - How possible do you guys think it would be to turn it into a physical DINA box?

Why bother, I use an O2 to net-install.


Because I don't have an O2, my indigo2 isn't working, and the DINA image doesn't appear to work properly with Parallels, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox on my Mac.

Any more silly questions?

I have never used the Raspbian OS that they provide. It might be possible to rebuild the functionality of DINA using that as the base, but you would be building your own netboot server, not moving DINA to it.

You're spot on with this.

The Raspberry Pi won't run the DINA image, but all you'd need to do to simulate a DINA setup is configure DHCP/BOOTP, TFTP and NFS on the Pi. You'll get the same basic functionality, just not in the neatly-bundled DINA package.


That's more along the lines I was thinking of..

Digging further into my DINA issues, it looks as though the scripts didn't configure networking correctly when using vmware fusion on my Mac.

Looking at the ifconfig output there are two adapters present, local loopback, and wm0 - but the DINA script assumes the interface name is ifconfig_pcn0 in the script, which doesn't actually exist.

I've edited the /etc/rc.conf entry to match the interfaces available, and I no longer get the errors at startup when it tries to bring up the network interface, but I still can't communicate with DINA from anything else on the network, so I think I must have missed something somewhere..

Can you paste your ifconfig/route -a outputs for us?

Sorry for the potentially stupid question, but did you double-check the virtual interface settings in Fusion? Bridged/NAT/Host-only and the like.


Yup, it's set as NAT in Fusion, which works for everything else I've ever used, output as follows:

One to add to the Wiki methinks.. (changing the interface name & bridged mode)

I think CS5 re-scans the font directory if you add a new font - I know CS6 does on windows at work. As fu mentioned, if it's opentype/truetype they'll work fine, I can't remember if type 1 fonts need converting or not though.

You could try the binary I attached?

not sure if you'll need xquartz installed or not, might be worth a try?

Those numbers are more what I'd expect from the laptop though..

It looks like the screen sharing app from the mac pro actually accelerates the laptop display, which makes much more like an x session on irix rather than vnc!

You learn something new every day!

Yup, attached - it's the tweaked linux source with a couple of small additional tweaks to solve the issue with a lack of a memalign() function on OS X.

I've got the commandline compile string around here somewhere too:

gcc -o tenmillion.bin tenmillion.c -Wall -W -framework GLUT -framework OpenGL -lX11 -lGL -lm -fast -I/usr/X11R6/include/ -I/usr/X11R6/include/GL -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries -Wl,-dylib_file,/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib

Not sure all that was strictly needed, but it worked..

Interesting, I might be tempted, but I'm not sure I'd like the cable-soup all over my desk with most things being a TB2 add-on..

Although as long as the graphics cards are upgradable, and there is the option of a second PCIe SSD, I could probably deal with having most of the system storage on a SAN/NAS device hooked up to TB2..

I dunno, wait and see how much of a crater it'd put in my finances I guess.

I love that film so much :D

I remember reading about some of the concepts right at the start of the production, originally almost all the effects were going to be physical, guys in suits, animatronic etc, but Spielberg wasn't happy with the movement in the wide shots, so Dennis Muren pitched a small CG dino test, and nailed it first go. Most of the physical effects stayed, but the CG allowed them to vastly build up the ecosystem, and get some shots which were just too difficult otherwise..

Still can't believe they made that full-size T-Rex though..

Men in Dino-suits! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAzQr3Ml ... e=youtu.be

Seriously impressive!

It came back the other way a little, with the DID (Dinosuar Input Device), which let the puppeteers control or guide the CG animation - very neat :)

Wow, that was... childish...

Many other forums have the same rules for the same reasons - if you're seen as facilitating a breach of copyright by allowing the sale/trade of unlicensed software the forum owner gets the nasty-grams from lawyers, some of which can be rather expensive even if you act in good faith.

Oh well..

Because without written approval from all the various software suppliers, it still puts the site at risk of a DCMA takedown/lawyer letter etc, which is expensive to deal with in any form.

If you want to go out and create a website SGILicenseWorkarounds.net, go nuts, and I'm sure a lot of people will value it, but it's then on your head if one software house/patent troll etc decide to send you expensive letters..

Nekochan doesn't want to entertain the hassle, so won't - it's a very, very common stance taken by forum administrators for all sorts of old "dead" platforms, as quite often the IP is sold on to other entities after the original developers/publishers close down.
