ThePiixelMonster | hi | 13:54 |
---|---|---|
ThePiixelMonster | anyone around? | 13:54 |
hrnz | maybe | 13:57 |
ThePiixelMonster | I'm looking into getting a cubieboard3 to run Ubuntu and Silo 2 for some light 3d work, does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? here is the board: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cubietruck-Kit-Single-board-Cubieboard3-Cortex-A7/dp/B00INRN2W0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1417956973&sr=1-2&keywords=cubieboard and here is the software: http://www.nevercenter.com/silo/?section=support | 13:58 |
ThePiixelMonster | I think its a little costy to ust drop the cash and test it | 13:59 |
ThePiixelMonster | just | 13:59 |
hrnz | won't work | 14:00 |
ThePiixelMonster | damn | 14:01 |
hrnz | there are no arm binaries for this proprietary blob thingy | 14:01 |
ThePiixelMonster | any alternatives? | 14:01 |
hrnz | x86 hardware? | 14:01 |
hrnz | or use blender | 14:02 |
ThePiixelMonster | whatever will allow me to run that and make use of it but be compact and portable under £100 | 14:02 |
ThePiixelMonster | silo runs on linux pretty ok is why i asked i prefer it over blender | 14:02 |
hrnz | I doubt that you will find a new x86 computer for less than 100 pounds | 14:02 |
ThePiixelMonster | crap :\ | 14:03 |
ThePiixelMonster | well thanks for the responses... | 14:03 |
hrnz | np | 14:04 |
ThePiixelMonster | may i ask why you said it wouldnt run? is it the software or the OS? because that silo runs on 64bit linux... | 14:05 |
hrnz | it's the processor architecure | 14:05 |
hrnz | there only exist binaries for x86-64 linux. the cubietruck is arm | 14:06 |
ThePiixelMonster | ohhhh ok that is where I got a little confused then xD | 14:06 |
ThePiixelMonster | i saw someone running blender on a raspberry pi and got excited to look into that as it was more powerful and stuff lol | 14:07 |
hrnz | blender is free software | 14:08 |
hrnz | you can build it for almost any platform | 14:08 |
ThePiixelMonster | yeah so i guess its hopeless to find anything that will run that silo then shit | 14:09 |
ThePiixelMonster | -Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS 6+, Fedora 16+, or Ubuntu 14.04+ (x86-64) | 14:10 |
ThePiixelMonster | " i saw that and saw someone saying about cubietruck thing running ubuntu and got happy lol | 14:10 |
hrnz | hmm | 14:14 |
ThePiixelMonster | yeah the only thing is all i need it for is pretty low poly 3d work and web development when i visit family and stuff, just something compact and potable blender i have to spend countless hours customising it before i am efficient or capable when using it | 14:18 |
hrnz | you could just get a laptop o.O | 14:20 |
ThePiixelMonster | costs significantly more lol | 14:22 |
ThePiixelMonster | its ot very comfrtable to work on either, | 14:26 |
ThePiixelMonster | damn these keys lol | 14:26 |
