meshviewer in a remote device where no display is available #18

Closed sunit1409 closed 4 years ago

sunit1409 commented 4 years ago

I want to do the meshviewer in a remote google cloud instance where I want to use the save_snapshot function to dump into images. I tried that but since google cloud instances does not allow the same I get errors.

OpenGL test failed: stdout: stderr: freeglut (foo): failed to open display ''

How can I use the meshviewerremote class for the same.

@anuragranj can u help

Yeah, I met the same problems when I try to open the meshviewer from the remote server connected by ssh, which got the errors：

OpenGL test failed: stdout: stderr: freeglut (foo): failed to open display ''

I think maybe I should save the models locally and visiualize it locally by some applications, but I do not know how to save the mesh models, could u help me? @anuragranj

@sunit1409 @Qingcsai Hey!

Sorry for the long reply, all the relevant discussion happened in #29 and I forgot to update this issue. We have come up with a workaround to render the meshes from a remote machine. Please see this section of the README
