Thank you for letting me know.

The reason why this error message appears is because it cannot find any entry point for Pixie3D.dll
Could you check if Pixie3D.dll exists in the extracted folder? and that you have extracted all files to the same folder.
Also check if you may have an aggressive anti-virus software which is deleting Pixie3D.dll?
If so make sure you allow Pixie3D to run on your system without any interfering.

I am very interested to know the reason why you have issues with running Pixie3D

No good, still getting the vcruntime140.dll error message and the program fails to start.

Thank you for trying again.

Interesting, I tested it on a clean tablet and I did not get the vcruntime140.dll.

However, I have noticed that tablets cannot run the software due to the hardware, are you trying to run Pixie3D on a tablet by any chance?

Sweet! Nice video and I have started following the development of the modeler. I mostly use another 3d modeler, but I love the simple nature of Pixie3d.
Thank you Ippena.

There is a new update available for Pixie3D. This update should sort the vcruntime140.dll issue and a some internal issues as well.

Kind regards,
Soren

Hi selden,

Thank you for letting me know about the issues you had with your graphics card.

Try have a look at some of videos on my website, there should be some that shows how to create primitives in your viewport, it is not as simple as activate the create buttons, you will need to define the primitives in your viewport. I am working on a "Get started with Pixie3D" video, that one might help you use Pixie3D. I am hoping I will finish this video and upload it to YouTube at some point this week. I will keep you posted.

Hi selden,

I must point out that you are the first who brush on this subject. It is quite common that a software is checking for updates at the start up, just take the VLC media player. However, I am happy to add an option that will prevent automatic check for updates to the system settings, so you will have a chance to control this behaviour. I will see if I can get time to add it for next update.

20 minutes sounds very excessive, it sounds to me a 3rd party software is preventing Pixie3D to continue after that point, perhaps a firewall or security software you have installed?

Kind regards,
Soren

Hi selden,

At some point when Pixie3D is loading up, it will try to reach my server to check for new updates. I don't think that is the reason why it hangs at that point, keep in mind that some components takes longer time to load up than others and I have noticed that it has always taken a little longer time to load components around 70% - I think around that point is where the main interface is being created. However, you do not have to be online to run Pixie3D. If it does not find any Internet connections it will simply carry on loading. I hope that answers your concerns.

Kind regards,
Soren

Hi TanatOS,

When the message pops up on your screen you will be given an option to see technical debug information, could you send a screen shot of that debug information to info@Pixie3D.com by any chance? That will help me identify exactly what went wrong.

Thanks,
Soren

So good to hear it worked for you Gyperboloid. The renderer is not ready yet so that is why it is not available ready, however the full version of Pixie3D will be released with a renderer. In fact there are plenty of features which is not public yet, either because they are not fully developed or fully tested yet. These features are IK, key frame animation system, paths for path-modelling, true-type text fonts, particles, cameras, lights, metballs, physics and a lot of other modifiers.

If you have any suggestions or any feedback please leave a me comment at https://pixie3d.com/contact.php

Kind regards,
Soren

3dview,

Thank you for getting in touch.
I realized I have pointed to a wrong redistributable download.
Could you download Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 redistributable files at this link (very last section): https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/

If this does not work could you go to https://pixie3d.com/contact.php and enter a brief comment, your full name and email address (so I can find you in my email account and reply to you) then I will send you a new version of Pixie3D, you can try out. Hopefully that one will work.

Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards,
Soren

Hi tralfaz,

That is interesting. The downloadable version of Pixie3D is a 34-bit exe but I run it on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine without any issues. Could you go to https://pixie3d.com/contact.php and enter a brief comment, your full name and email address (so I can find you in my email account and reply to you) then I will send you a new version of Pixie3D, you can try out. Hopefully that one will work. Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards,
Soren

It looks like your graphics card does not support shader model 3.0
All that means is that you will not see the PBR shaders correctly in your viewports.
You should still be able to use the software for 3D modelling.
Do you mind if I ask you what graphics card you have installed?
You should be able to get this information from the About dialog (last button on your right in the main menu).

Thanks
Soren

I suggest you to download and install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and check if it resolves the issue.

You can download it from Microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685

For anyone interested Pixie3D has been updated.
If you have downloaded a previous version of Pixie3D, you can use the built-in update system or you can simply go to http://www.pixie3d.com and download the new version.
I hope you will enjoy the new additions.

Kind regards,
Soren

Steve: Out of curiosity, how many classes have you created to develop Anim8or? and I know it is not so much of a useful information for people but how many lines of code have you written to create Anim8or? Also, what do you consider (for a developers perspective) as being the best part of Anim8or? and (last question) if you could go back in time and redo anything what would it be and why?
