Hi guys,

I know that 2GB of RAM is not much but, normally it would be enough for a 3d application… I also tested it under windows and guess what…

MacOS X 10.5.4 = apr. 36GB of Virtual RAM
Windows XP (virtual) = apr. 400MB of existing RAM

The actual version (9.5.206) also freezed

Will this problem be solved, because I think no one has more than 8GB in his Workstation…

hopping for a sollution…
best regards
Allan

P.S.: if a moderator find this thread, it would be nice if you could delete the user “Alonzo” and rename “alonzo.gfx” to “Alonzo”, because I found out that “Alonzo” am I too ops:

I get the same corruption sometimes (MacPro 2.8 Octo, 8800) although not nearly as frequently. What I do notice that I'm sure is related to the same issue, is that there seems to be a lag somewhere in updating the UI in general. Sometimes clicking on an operator wont bring up the parameter pane immediately, I have to select it again.. Or if I delete an operator, its parameter pane remains displayed (though of course unusable - it's simply the latent image).

This trickles down to compositing too - clicking the display flag on a COP will not display the COP until I click elsewhere on the interface.

Maybe a buffer flip that's being skipped somewhere?

edit: Just saw your location - maybe it's our crazy Swedish electricity

same problem here (MacPro Quad 2GHz / 7300GT)

this problem accrues in some versions of houdini (as well in 9.5.202)

installed 9.5.199 and there is no problem with the UI…

the particles need to be Geometry which can be rendered…
try to place a normal object, than create a Camera and a light…

than render the image… than you should see the geometry, if not… something is wrong with you graphic output…
