<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The tablet is the Gemini GEM7008 (<a href="http://www.geminidevices.com/">http://www.geminidevices.com</a>) and it is the entry level tablet. In fact, as an Ipad user I think that it is a very basic tablet :)</p>
<p>I bought it yesterday to make some tests and I mainly was looking for an Android 4 device.</p>
<p>The main characteristics are:</p>

<p>I have tested the Kiwiviewer version from the Google Play and It is not possible to open the file, although it can open and play properly smaller models exported by me or from the examples provided.</p>
<p>Could you tell me where in the code is the runtime checking and also which is the requirement for pass it. ? For me it is OK if generally speaking new / powerfull tablets can support > 65k vertices, but I would like to debug a little bit to understand the requirements. I will come back with some results but I will need some time as the Android world is quite new for me.</p>

<p>It does depend on the device, older devices will not support >65k vertices, but most modern devices will support it. KiwiViewer does a check at runtime to decide whether or not there is support. Of course, it's possible there is a bug and the runtime check is failing, even though your device supports the gl extension. What device are you using? Also, could you try the version of KiwiViewer that is in the Google Play store to see if that works any better?<br /><br />Pat<br /><br /></p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> I have exported a VTK model to OBJ and I try to view it in Kiwiviewer (Android Version compiled by me with the source code downloading from github). I have an error message saying that the file contains more than the supported maximum number of points.</p>
<p> I would appreciate an explanation about this issue as in the kiwiviwer mailing list (<a href="http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/kiwiviewer/2011-October/000002.html">http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/kiwiviewer/2011-October/000002.html</a>) it is stated that the problem is related with OpenGL ES and that is something that can be solved (in October 2011). Additionally in the Kiwiviewer example with the point cloud library (<a href="http://vimeo.com/42773717">http://vimeo.com/42773717</a>) it is stated that there are more than 200000 points (in IOS).</p>
<p> More specifically I would like to know if this limit is only for Android, if it is related with the datasheet or it perhaps for each actor and I can circumvent the limit adding several actors to the scene. If not, is this size limit to be increased in the next version?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p> Carlos</p>
