[Paraview] Getting a raytraced picture from Manta

[Sohail Shafii]

Thanks.  It turns out that I am working with an older version (3.8.0) since I am making preparations for a paper (due next week) and some code hasn't been ported to latest version yet.

I basically have to add the plugins in the "Remote plugins" section o fthe Plugin manager.  The plugin's a bit buggy and causes a crash, however, and I think that may be due to the fact that I am using an older version of Manta.

Hi Sohail,
you should just close the default 3D view and create the Manta one by clicking on its button.
Then any object that you create will be shown in that raytracer view... And with the latest implementation, you don't need a remote server anymore.

Hi,

I have been able to get Manta raytracer to compile with paraview and load in as a plugin.  I even see the extra GUI options in the "display" tab of certain filters like the Tube filter.  I'm just wondering how to get something raytraced as a result.


I did a bit a research via the list and found a page that says that I must start the paraview server with the plugin loaded.  The client would also have the plugin loaded and connect to the server. The instructions didn't say how to do that on the server side .  Usually when I start the paraview server (pvserver), it does not launch the GUI but just waits for a client connection in the terminal.  So I don't know how to load the plugin on the server...the command line options for pvserver didn't provide any hints.


Please advise.

Thanks,
 Sohail
