Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17793
3D Effects completely broken and can crash entire system
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:52:24 UTC
I don't know quite where to begin with this one ! These are what I have noticed so far ! - Applying any effect results in the image going completely white. - Close OOo down, restart and reload the image and the effect has been applied. - After applying an effect the 3D Effects dialog becomes useless until OOo is restarted. - If a 3D effect is applied to an existing image the image is completely overwritten by a solid coloured object. - Reloading a save .sxd file then bring up the 3D Controller dialog. The Illumination `sphere' is now outside the dialog altogether !!! and is completely in unresponsive. - What ever you do DON'T move the 3D Controller dialog over the main OOo screen or a complete system crash may result !!! I shall attach some screen shots and fire up Star Office 5.2 !!
Unfortunately I cannot grab screenshots since OOo appears to throw the GIMP into `cat do that' mode - any suggestions ? Is this deliberate ?
xv to the rescue
Created attachment 8225 [details] The image before
Created attachment 8226 [details] After applying Illumination, closeing OOo, restarting and reloading the image
Created attachment 8227 [details] The Illumination sphere outside the 3D Controller diaolg
Created attachment 8228 [details] Applying Illumination results in white out - notice natty blue triangle appears in 3D Controller dialog !
What version of Linux? What graphics card? What graphics driver?
Mandrake 9.1, ATI Rage Mobility Pro, Stock XFree86-4.3-8mdk, so now 3D accelleration or any 3D stuff !
Please have alook what happens if you turn off OpenGL support: go to tools/options/openoffice.org/view/3Dview and uncheck the use OpenGL option. Anything better now? If it is than the problem is the fault of a badly programmed open GL driver of the graphic card and not OOs fault. Please have a look. Thanks in advance!
Wow ! Spot on !! I've no idea who to turn to for this one ! Maybe one of the XFree86 lists ? If you are 100% sure it is the Open GL driver and not OOo's use of the driver API then please close the OR as `INVALID' Thanks, now - how do I apply lighting effects to a flat 2D image ????
Uh, lighting effects are only for 3D objects - but... convert the image to 3D using context menu, give it a depth of 0,0 and you can use lighting effects on it, but I do not think it will look good :-(
