I just noticed that the performance of bin/manta is considerably less than it was before SIGGRAPH. On one laptop core bin/manta runs at 7.6 fps while runwxmanta.py runs at 18.0 fps on one core. On two cores bin/manta drops to 3.6 fps while the python interface goes to ~34 fps.

Also, manipulating the camera in bin/manta appears to cause a whole bunch of nan errors making interaction impossible.

/Users/abe/Manta/Model/Cameras/PinholeCamera.cc line: 133 Ambiguous up direciton... lookat = nan nan nan, eye = nan nan nan, direciton = nan nan nan, n = nan nan nan, up = nan nan

In short, bin/manta appears to be broken for the default scene.

Anyone know what is going on?

Abe
