AnimatedTexture2 - Installation

AnimatedTexture2 currently uses the ANIMbase class with the ANIMmpeg and/or ANIMnv objects (MPEG or mbone NV support respectively).

Tested Configurations

AnimatedTexture2 should work on any machine with Silicon Graphics Open Inventor (TM) 2.0 or 2.1.1 and hardware texture mapping. Please email lsh@cs.brown.edu if you are able to run on other configurations

SGI Onyx Reality Engine 2, Irix 5.3, 2 processors, running Open Inventor 2.0 or Open Inventor 2.1.1
SGI Onyx Reality Engine 2, Open Inventor 2.1.1, Irix 6.2
SGI Impact, Irix 6.2
SGI Indigo Impact, 200MHz R400, Open Inventor 2.1.1 or later, Irix 6.2 alpha
SGI Indigo Impact, Open Inventor 2.1.1, Irix 5.3
Sun UltraSparc (167 mhz), Portable Graphics Open Inventor 2.1.1, Solaris 2.5, OpenGL 1.1 Beta Dev08

Necessary Ingredients

Texture mapping in hardware (optional, but unusable without it)
Open Inventor 2.0 or Open Inventor 2.1.1 development environment (the include files, not just the libraries)
MPEG play version 2.3-patched
ooMPEG at http://www.cs.brown.edu/software/ooMPEG/ or ftp://ftp.cs.brown.edu/pub/ooMPEG.tar.Z (ANIMbase and ANIMmpeg classes)
NV wrapper (ANIMnv class, optional, unreleased)
AnimatedTexture2 source

Installation instructions

Follow the instructions for installing ooMPEG and optionally the NV wrapper (not released yet).
Go to the directory where ooMPEG was extracted (the parent directory of mpeg_play)
Unpack the AnimatedTexture2 package
- zcat tex-node.tar.Z | tar xvf -
Edit the makefile to your satisfaction and run make
- edit the Makefile
- make
If you want to make the AnimatedTexture2 node available to all Inventor programs on your machine, copy the AnimatedTexture.so file to the Inventor DSO directory
- [Open Inventor 2.1.1] cp AnimatedTexture2.so /usr/local/lib/InventorDSO
- [Open Inventor 2.0] cp AnimatedTexture2.so /usr/local/lib/Inventor
