Using intuitiv'3d - FAQ

Troubleshooting : The shaders don't work

Problem: 
When rendering scenes either with Command-r or the snapshot, many shaders that have been applied to the objects don't seem to work. The surfaces are smooth, just the colors are rendered. 

Cause: 
When launched for the first time, intuitiv3d.app creates links from the shaders located in the intuitiv3d.app folder to the user's /Library/shaders directory. If you remove a previous version of intuitiv'3d by destroying the intuitiv3d.app folder, empty symbolic links remain in /Library/shaders. When launching the new version of intuitiv'3d the links from the new version cannot be installed in  /Library/shaders as links are still present at this location.

Solution:
In your /Library/shaders directory, please remove all empty links remaining from the previous intuitiv3d.app installation, then relaunch the new intuitiv3d.app application.
