Hi everyone.
I recently buy a samsung notebook with intel hd3000 integrated display card.
Intel says that, this card suport to open gl 3.1, but in houdini, in preferences 3d viewport, only H11, and 1.2 open gl options available.
Any suggestion?

i core 5. 4gb RAM. INTEL hd3000. sandy bridge processor. Windows 7. Basic Home Premium. 64 bit
Thank you very much!

The Intel GL drivers are capable of GL2.1, but unfortunately many of the GLSL shaders we use failed to compile properly, so we had to limit Intel's support to GL 1.2.

The HD4000 claims to support GL3.2, but unfortunately there are even bigger driver issues there.

Thank you. What notebook display card do you recommend for open gl 3.2 for using houdini to study?
Cheers

Any mid-to-high end mobile graphics card from Nvidia (GT640 and up) or AMD (7600 and up, and even the A10-A8 series) will work well with Houdini. Mobile GPUs with dedicated memory (VRAM) work better, but also tax the battery a bit more, so it really depends on what your work habits require.

There are also mobile workstations with Quadros and FirePros in them, but they are usually too expensive to recommend just for study.
