[x3d-public] MacOS: El Capitan breaks X3DOM volume rendering

[Dave Murphy]

hi Vincent,

just did a quick check and it’s working fine on:

OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 (15G31)
Safari version 9.1.2 (11601.7.7)
on a Mac Book Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB


cheers
rgds Dave

I just discovered that volume rendering in X3DOM seems to break in the 
latest Mac system release:  "El Capitan"

Looking at the WebGL-based adaptation of X3D volume rendering, as 
demonstrated on the Vicomtech demo pages http://demos.vicomtech.org ; in 
particular the 
http://demos.vicomtech.org/medx3dom2015/volrenOpacityTest_body.xhtml 
example:

Here is that page as rendered in Safari, running under "El Capitan" 
a.k.a Mac OS 10.11.6

(Note: Not obvious in this screenshot, but one "slice" of the volume 
image faintly appears in the El Capitan rendering)



while in Safari, under "Yosemite" a.k.a. Mac OS 10.10.5
