I finally got Direct Session to work. I don’t understand why this tool is pushed to the back of the manual. Its almost hidden away. I’d love to see a tutorial series built around this tool.
To get the Direct Session panel to appear:
Open up the etc folder (mines located here C:\Panda3D-1.5.2\etc)
Open the Config.prc file with Notepad.
Change want-directtools #f to want-directtools #t
Change want-tk #f to want-tk #t
Save the changes and close the file
Open up your code file (***.py)
Add import direct.directbase.DirectStart to your code
Save and run your file
OK, good to know that’s not unexpected. Thanks for the note.
BTW, I can also report that pview does not run in the 1.10x64 download. It looks like a similar 2.7 v 3.5 problem. Without the debugging tools I don’t think the 3.5 version is presently viable.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I have enough knowledge at present to get this working, so I’ll see if it’s acceptable to use Python 2.7 for my project. (Unlikely, but maybe.)
Please provide more information about pview not running. pview doesn’t use Python so there isn’t supposed to be a problem here. Which build did you grab, exactly, and what error message are you getting?
