Animations are not displayed on virtual machines

Animations are not displayed on virtual machines

Running projects on a Virtual Machine may lead to Cortona3D animations becoming invisible this is due to Virtual Machines under VMware Workstation’s compatibility with renderers.

The workaround for this situation is to switch your renderer from DirectX renderer to OpenGL renderer. To accomplish this, please perform the following:

  1. Go File Menu->Tools->Options->3D view->Renderer=OpenGL renderer
  2. Go File Menu->Tools->Publish Options->Force DirectX render=No and
  3. At the publish stage right click on the 3D window Cortona3d properties->Renderer=OpenGL Renderer
