- Andrew,
-
- Thanks for the great information, but I'm still having a problem with
- the "rendering host". I have a standalone NeXTstation color with
- the hostname set as sapphire via hostmanager.app.
-
- I can't get anything to render unless the hostname is localhost.
- Even if I modify netinfo so that there is a renderer with a name
- of sapphire. The only thing I haven't tried is setting the IP address
- in hostmanager.app to 127.0.0.1, which would be the same as localhost
- since I'm not connected to any net.
-
- I addition when I use the 3D app in the demos directory (still working
- on getting 3D_Reality transferred!) and try to print, it only prints
- the black background and not the image (such as the airplane.rib
- file in the examples directory).
-
- I'd appreciate any light you could shed on this subject!
-
- Thanks in advance,
