To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the file using f3d --dry-run --quiet --input=demo.fbx --output=demo.fbx_001.png --camera-azimuth-angle=135 --camera-elevation-angle=15

Expected behavior png gen correct

Additional context Whether f3d's dependencies libs need to be corrected ? Maybe I install some other software influences the f3d's dependencies libs.

Hi @Jenfong !

Do you have this crash with all files ? With any .fbx files ? Only with this specifc .fbx file ?

Please share that file.

[mwestphal]

F3D 2.1.0

THis is pretty old, please try with our binary from: https://f3d.app/doc/user/INSTALLATION.html

[Jenfong]

any 1.any .fbx ,how I can found the root cause for the crash? 2.If cannot figure out ,I need upgrade f3d the lastest version，it's meet I need upgrade the gclib to 2.29?

[mwestphal]

Centos 8

Hum, I would think our binary would be compatible with centos 8, but its not. FYI @Meakk

any .fbx ,how I can found the root cause for the crash?

You want to compile F3D yourself to figure that out.

Which version of assimp are you using ?

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa assimp
assimp-5.0.1-3.el8.x86_64

it's worked fine about a year ago. I'm not sure which basic component is preventing f3d[2.1.0] working properly.

[Meakk]

We upgraded the Docker image used to build the binaries and the GLIBC version requirement is higher now.

[mwestphal]

Indeed, we could consider moving our binary generation to centos instead of ubuntu to suport more OSes.

[mwestphal]

@Jenfong you should be able to use our older binary, eg F3D 2.2.1

It's seem not work yet with F3D-2.2.1.

Is something wrong with my libX11.so.6.3.0 ?

[mwestphal]

Are you able to run glxinfo or xeyes ?

Are you able to run glxinfo or xeyes ?

ssh without x11 forward

it's means,I need install mesa or something else ?(Centos 8 is minimal installed)

[mwestphal]

ssh without x11 forward

Then you want to use the headless binary release instead: https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/releases/download/v2.4.0/F3D-2.4.0-Linux-x86_64-headless-raytracing.tar.xz

[mwestphal]

Ideally, F3D should not crash but just return in error with: Error: unable to open display.

This should be fixed in VTK, see this issue: https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/19383

Awesome，it's worked with headless version(with F3D-2.1.0-Linux-x86_64-headless-raytracing) .Thx, mwestphal!

if server without gui,it's need run with headless version for f3d

[mwestphal]

VTK recently fixed this so F3D will not crash anymore if no Xorg server is available :)

[mwestphal]

Please note F3D now support headless and non-headless in a single version, you can try the last nightly for that: https://github.com/f3d-app/f3d/releases/tag/nightly
