Running inView demos

Most of the public inView standard demos can be downloaded from the inView Demo Repository at http://www.intrace.com/download/demos [2]. Alternatively, you may have gotten the demo in any other way, e.g. directly from your inTrace contact.

Most likely, you will have gotten your demo file in the form of a compressed tar archive named inViewDemo.<demoname>.tar.bz2. Unpack that demo into your demo directory. It will typically extract to a directory called inViewDemo.<demoname>/. The demo will be then be started by entering that directory and calling ./rundemo. In summary:

    tar xjvf inViewDemo.<demoname>.tar.bz2
    cd inViewDemo.<demoname>/
    ./rundemo

By default, all demos run in standalone mode. If you want to run the demo on a cluster, make sure that you cluster is configured correctly (see Section 1.4), then call ./rundemo -c <numclients>. If you only have a local workstation, you may want to use partial rendering during motion for higher performance (see Section 2.10.1).

Note:

• Most demos require you to fly around and navigate in the scene. Make sure you have read Section 2.2 in order to find out how to do that.
• Most demos use precomputed scene binaries. Make sure to call the rundemo file from within the directory it is located in.
• You can pass additional parameters to your ./rundemo script just like you would pass them to inView .
