END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Do you mean to make Synthclipse a SPOUT sender, not a recivier? I don't know yet SPOUT API, but I think I could try to add this feature to Synthclipse.

First results look promising:

.

Spout support will be included in Synthclipse 0.9.6.

Spout shares textures between two processes using NV_DX_interop functionality. Although it is nVidia extension it is supported by AMD/ATI video cards as well.
Synthclipse sends its output to a Spout receiver every frame, but since there is no synchronization between sender and receiver usually not every frame is displayed by the receiver.


There is certainly some latency but I'm not able to tell you how much there is. Here are couple of measurements on my ATI Radeon HD 5850 video card (59 FPS on the recivier is the maximum due to v-sync [60 FPS never occurs due to timer inaccuracy]):








No, Synthclipse rendering is not switched off when sending output to a Spout receiver (as you can see on the screenshots).

I hope to finish implementing Spout support tomorrow, and I probably release Synthclipse 0.9.6 in the monday.

very nice, so really just sharing a texture should be very performant!

If "Same as Viewport" checkbox is selected on the Rendering View, the resolution will be the same as Viewport's. Otherwise it will take the resolution enetered in width/height text fields.
View is updated in every frame, not only when recompiling. Try to play animation.
