Re: Strange behaviour from DAE-import
Emmanuel, db4tech:

Starting up SH3D in a terminal window produced the following error message:
Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2 GLX version 1.3 or higher is required. The reported version number may be incorrect. There is a known ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to run anyway.
I googled a bit and found this post concerning EXACTLY the same problem. Unfortunately I don't understand what it means or how I can solve this.

As to the virtualization that db4tech suggested: I downloaded the software (and the W7 trial) and tried to run it, but it didn't work, or I didn't understand what to do. So I left it at that.

I guess I'll have to use my Windows laptop more often for SH3D.

EDIT 1
As to memory problems: I often use Autopano Pro to combine several photos into a large panoramic photo. I assume these are memory-hungry calculations as well, but the program has never crashed or caused other mishap (since the Ubuntu 9.10 video driver update). I was already suspecting some error in the Ubuntu version of the Java code (Java, not SH3D code) and have been thinking to install another Java version, but I'm not sure if that is wise.

EDIT 2
Twice I tried to import that same tree on my laptop (Windows Vista, 2 Gb memory) and twice it went into "not responding" mode when I inserted the tree into design window.
