jit.gl.3dtext and physics in JS-> incoherent behavior on MBP and MacPro

May 30 2013 | 6:17 pm

Hi beautiful forum people,

thanks for having me watching everyone's work for years. :)

I'd like to share this little patch of mine.

It is a draft for a "lower third titling" system which might be used with syphon.

You enter a string and some nice falling letters appear.

I've tested the patch on a

non-Retina 13'' MBP, half 2012, 2,5 GHz I5, Intel HD 4000, OS X 10.8.3,

and it works as expected.

While on a

half 2010 MacPro, 2x2,4 Quad Xeon, 2xRadeon HD5770, OS X 10.7.5,

seems like jit.gl.text3d object are only able to render half of the possible characters.

Is any lucky possessor of a MacPro able to reproduce that?

I also struggling against "text" method to 3dtext objects in javascript, it doesn't seems to react as expected.

js code is attached, and also copied in a "comment" object.

Thanks in advance!

Here the patch:
