Remote Issues

Post by thomas1234 »

Hello. I have a 3D modelling application which is written in c++ and Irrlicht. When I want to run the 3D application in a remote computer, it gave out a black screen for the part of application. Is that any method so that I can use the 3D application with "Remote Desktop" function of Windows?

Thanks.

Maybe Remote Desktop doesn't support 3d applications?
I'd be suprised if it did because I see no sense in using 3d applications remote.
Software documentation is like sex. If it's good you want more. If it's bad it's better than nothing.

Remote desktop cannot access the 3d driver as it is an emulated driver.
You'll have to use RealVNC...
I do the same with my remote application on windows.

Allowing the usage of diffrent drivers would help. I don't know for sure, but OpenGL might work better, and software will work for sure.
