  • Hi,

    I have an OSX 10.3.9 G5 PPC with ATI 9600 here, and sculpt works fine. This is really a limitation of what Apple decided to make work for this (old :) system. The system I use is already 4 years old too btw.

    Chances Apple fixes drivers for this is zero though. Note that our sculpting code is fully platform independent code, and reported to work fine for all linux, windows and osx systems with a decent 3d card.

    In theory it's possible someone with a similar system as yours finds a bypass in our code to solve this, but I wouldn't know a developer with such a system :)

  • This is a generic request to test your bug report and see if it is still an issue in 2.5alpha2 if so please let me know by making a comment in this report ie 'also in 2.5alpha2' and I will add it to the 2.5 bug list.
