Re: [Visualpython-users] instructions: VPython for Ubuntu Karmic

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

 From the download page at vpython.org (and also found in the materials 
section of the Visual documentation):

Materials such as wood

Materials such as wood will work with graphics cards that support Pixel 
Shader 3.0 ("PS 3.0"). See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_shader#Hardware. Some materials may 
work with graphics cards that support PS 2.0, but other materials may 
need to be manually disabled; see instructions in the site-settings.py 
module in the Visual package in your site-packages folder. If the 
graphics hardware does not support pixel shaders, the material property 
is ignored. If you think you should be able to use materials but have 
trouble with their display or performance, we highly recommend upgrading 
your video card drivers to the latest version.

Other features new in Visual 5, such as transparency and local lights, 
work with all graphics cards.
